The plain of Pavia is a quiet, peaceful part of Italy, not far from the Monferrato area and the site of this beautiful luxury villa, our house of the week. The property is surrounded by a park with flowers and trees, ensuring privacy, essential for finding comfort and relax, yet is easily accessible via main roads connecting to large cities such as Milan and Pavia. It’s even possible to reach the property by helicopter thanks to a helipad on the 3,000 m2 (32,000 sq ft) plot of land on the side of the villa.
The entrance hall of the main house is bright and airy, and features a staircase leading to the sleeping area. It divides also the villa into two wings, housing the living rooms with fireplaces, bathrooms, a large kitchen overlooking the grounds, a dining room and offices. Every floor can be easily reached with the lift.
All the finishes in the property have a common thread: red, white and black marble, with Venetian floorings in the dining areas and gold details in the main rooms. The property also includes a large pool, an artificial lake that gets lots of sunshine and a three-storey annex which can be used all year round.
The basement of the house has also been renovated into a usable space with a lounge, kitchen and bathroom. On the ground floor there is a typical brick cellar with a vaulted ceiling, a cinema room and a garage.
The sleeping area, on the first floor, has four bedrooms, each with a private en-suite bathroom and walk-in closet, plus a gym and several studies. The balconies, which are accessible from the bedrooms and all fitted out in white marble, are unparalleled in their offering of a breathtaking view over the park, pool and lake. All in all, this is a luxury property like no other.
