Historic Luxury Villa For Sale In Friuli Venezia Giulia

A few kilometers from Udine, in the region of Friuli Venezia Giulia, this imposing luxury villa, whose history is linked to the family of Napoleon is for sale. 

In fact in 1818 Napoleon Bonaparte's sister, Elisa, deposed by the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, bought this farm from a noble family, and settled there with her family. Napoleon himself spent summer vacations here and even today there are precious barrels in the cellar that bear the logo with his initials. The daughter of Elisa, after her mother's death, handled the renovations building the large greenhouse decorated with oriental motifs and expanded the park. The house was for decades a meeting place for intellectuals and distinguished guests, including Louis Pasteur, who here brought forward some of his studies.

This luxury villa for sale offers 6,000 m2 of covered area and a 22 hectare park. 

This complex of great historical value has a rectangular shaped plan, preceded by a large courtyard, and a number of rustic buildings. Not far away we find the family chapel, built in 1853.

The interior of the villa, laid out over 2 floors is filled with precious paintings, porcelain, carpets, furniture, tapestries, thrones of the Venetian Doge, and exceptional memorabilia from the Napoleonic era, a truly priceless collection that gives this luxury property for sale in Udine a timeless appeal.
