3-storey villa in central Italy

14 September 2018, 19:10

Just a few short minutes from Rieti and immersed in the quiet of an ancient park, 'Villa Vecchiarelli' stands in a dominant position on the hills at the foot of Terminillo, from where it enjoys a splendid panoramic view.

The villa is a masterpiece of nineteenth-century architecture. The façade is embellished with a monumental staircase with two flights of stairs connecting the villa to a scenic Italian garden with a fountain in the centre. At the end is a terrace with a breath-taking view that opens onto the entire valley.

The property comes with a landscaped garden with unbeatable vistas

Spread out over 3 storeys and connected by both a large staircase and an internal lift, the villa has been perfectly restored using quality materials. It has several architectural details and finishes of historical and artistic interest such as marble columns, stuccoes and numerous frescoes in its private spaces.

On the ground floor there is a large oval-shaped living room with high ceilings of almost 6 metres. In the middle there is an imposing frescoed dome supported by Corinthian columns. On the same level there is also a dining room, a large kitchen, 2 living rooms and a bathroom.

This wonderful villa has six bedrooms and five bathrooms, all with large windows overlooking the Italian countryside. Attached to the villa is a small, cosy chapel, also recently renovated, and a large swimming pool with an indoor relaxation area. All in all, a stunning property!
