What do you get when you combine idealista's house of the week and the Italian capital full of history, art and culture? Well, something as unique and pompous as this historic property in one of Rome's most distinguished residential areas.
Let us introduce you to this truly exceptional classical villa of 1000 m2 (10,763 sq ft) that enjoyes a great deal of privacy thanks to the large garden surrounding the entire property. It stands right in front of Villa Borghese, Rome's most important and beautiful park. The neighbourhood the property is in is called Pinciano/Parioli and you can find all the embassies here, so it is very secluded, yet in the heart of the city. Everything is just a short walk away - Rome's best hotels, excellent restaurants and shops.
The villa is spread over three levels: the main entrance is on the garden level and dominated by an elegant staircase connecting all the floors. From the charming hall, we can see multiple reception rooms that follow one another with elegant continuity. The large dining room/banquet hall welcomes all its guests with its bright light throughout the day because of the large windows and direct entrance to the garden. The property also includes a large covered parking area with glass and iron built Art Nouveau structure, and a large gazebo in the most liveable part of the garden.
The upper floor is dedicated to the sleeping area: the elegant staircase leads us directly to a relaxing landing area with four bedrooms, bathrooms ensuite and even two romantic balconies. Goign down, the basement is bright (especially for a basement!) thanks to its large windows located above ground level. It has everything you could hope to have in your home: a large spa area with relaxation lounge, heated pool, Turkish steam room and two bathrooms. On the same floor you can find service rooms and a large, fully-equipped kitchen.
The property is strongly defined by its history and a colourful decor. If the yellow rooms, antique wallpaper and kitchy style aren't really your cup of tea, don't worry; it can easily be transformed into a tasteful and truly elegant city home, thanks to its high ceilings, beautiful windows and not too blatant details (fireplace, balconies, garden etc.) If you are into this "more is more" style, this place is waiting for you. For a mere 16,000,000 euro you can live like a true romano in one of the city's best areas!
