This charming estate for sale has its roots in the mid-19th century, when it was built around 1850 by a distinguished Italian captain as a gift of love for his wife. For over seventy years, the residence was the scene of meetings between noble Italian families and prominent figures from all over the world. During times of war, the property served as a refuge for wounded army officers. Over time, the estate has undergone careful restoration that has preserved the authenticity of the original period, later transforming it into a renowned accommodation facility appreciated for its historical charm and the excellent quality of its spaces.

The main house, a sumptuous 19th-century villa, welcomes guests with a refined atmosphere that evokes the romance of times gone by.

The spacious kitchen with marble sinks and central dining area is a vibrant environment of domestic warmth, while the dining room extends towards the terrace thanks to elegant French doors.
