Frescoed 19th-century Villa With Park In Monteregio

Set in the evocative setting of Upper Piedmont, nestled among the renowned wine-growing hills of the municipality of Sizzano, stands a monumental historic villa dating from the early 19th century, with a total of 1525 sqm arranged over three levels. Developed from a Renaissance core and embraced by a private park of 1900 sqm enriched with centuries-old plantings, an Italian garden with a stone fountain and ornamental statues, the residence is distinguished by the exceptional artistic value of its frescoed reception halls with trompe-l'œil decoration, painted coffered ceilings, period fireplaces and an imposing entrance hall with a stone staircase. The residence offers 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, historic wine cellars and a majestic 140 sqm hall with a wooden press, providing a setting of rare prestige, ideal as a high-profile private residence or for boutique hospitality projects and elite receptions, a short distance from the Lombardy lakes and Milan.

Access to the ground floor is through a vaulted portico and a monumental entrance hall featuring elegant classical busts on granite pedestals, wooden boiserie and traditional flooring. This level is designed for entertaining and convivial living, featuring reception halls with stone and marble fireplaces overlooking the park directly, a kitchen with dedicated service rooms, guest bathrooms and technical rooms. An element of extraordinary historic charm is the rustic 140 sqm cobbled hall dominated by a period wooden screw press, a centuries-old testament to the area's ancient wine-making tradition, accompanied by spacious underground cellars ideal for storing wine collections.

From the ground floor, a striking monumental stone staircase with a decorated marble balustrade and wall paintings leads to the first floor, the villa's elegant Piano Nobile. This level preserves the artistic heart of the residence: grand reception halls with painted coffered ceilings and formal rooms entirely frescoed in Rococo style with trompe-l'œil motifs, leafy pergolas and mythological scenes. Majestic rooms flooded with light from tall windows with fine drapery, warmed by period fireplaces and enhanced by crystal chandeliers, frame the principal owners' quarters, composed of elegant suites with decorated historic flooring and frescoed boudoirs.

The building's second floor is dedicated to the villa's sleeping quarters and service areas. This level accommodates further private bedrooms, originally used as staff accommodation and private rooms, served by corridors and dedicated bathrooms. The floor is completed by spacious unfinished rooms and attic spaces, versatile areas offering significant potential for personalisation or expansion. Outside, the L-shaped structure embraces the 1900 sqm park, enhanced by a romantic portico framed by centuries-old wisteria, dedicated parking spaces and an area suitable for the possible construction of a private swimming pool.
