Stunning historical complex by Lake Albano

Right on the shores of Lake Albano, close to the city of Rome, there is this stunning period estate of majestic size for sale, surrounded by a big park.This property's luxuriant 9 hectares of grounds mostly feature a forest, with some lawn areas in front of the main façade; there are then two big swimming pools, one of which is Olympic size and the other, more intimate and cozy, equipped with a sunbathing area and changing rooms. Sports and leisure lovers can find delight in the two perfectly functioning tennis courts and a volleyball court.Next to the main estate, which was originally a boarding school and is today used as a venue for private events and ceremonies, there are three chapels, each particular in its own way and with unique features, except for the elegant marble floorings that they all have in common.Although the façade of the main estate requires some conservative restoration works to return to its original splendor, the interiors have preserved all the charm of the past.Measuring an amazing 7,600 square meters, this villa is divided internally into two wings, each characterized by its own distinctive style: a refined and sophisticated representation area, and a service area, once used as an American school, with big kitchens recently refurbished and fully functional.This magnificent house has spacious, elegant rooms, with furnishings in a charming antique style. Among its fascinating historical details, carefully preserved over the centuries, worthy of note are the frescoes that decorate the ceilings of some of the rooms and a precious eighteenth-century cabinet, which contains musical instruments of that period.A large laundry and ironing area, once at the service of the boarding school, completes this majestic complex for sale on the outskirts of Rome.
