Casa Alchimia is an historic house (1789) in the heart of Freeport Maine. The Italian owners during the restructuring, completed in the summer 2019, have preserved the historical structure. A major transformation was made inside, focusing on a contemporary design style, with great attention to the use of natural materials. All the floors are in oak, worked in a traditional way and treated with water-based paints and ecological glues, to live in a healthy home. Italian owners wanted to keep the Italian design style. Every bedroom has its own contemporary style bathrooms with large rain showers equipped with bathrobes, towels, hair dryer and courtesy set. The Deluxe King Suite Room also have separate living room, double sink vanity and soaking tub. Bedrooms are equipped with mini fridge with complimentary snacks and drinks, Nespresso coffe machine, tea kettle, WiFi. Spacious bright rooms, comfortable and relaxing.
