Immersed in the picturesque hilly landscape at the foot of Mount Terminillo, a short distance from Rieti and about an hour from Rome, this extraordinary historic residence of the late nineteenth century dominates the Rieti Valley with panoramic views of rare breadth. Recognized by the FAI for its historical-architectural value, the property represents a refined example of residential neoclassical architecture in central Lazio.
The complex covers a total of about 1,000 square meters, divided into several buildings, and is surrounded by a private park of over four hectares that alternates Italian garden, ornamental areas and wooded areas, offering a context of absolute privacy and great landscape charm. Scenographic architectural elements, such as the panoramic tower and the monumental double-flight staircase that connects the garden to the belvedere, define the elegance of the plant, evoking suggestions of famous historic residences.
Access to the property is through a monumental entrance marked by a stone obelisk, from which a tree-lined avenue leads to the villa through a suggestive hemicycle, now transformed into a tennis court, giving the arrival a solemn and representative character.
The interiors are distinguished by their spaciousness and functionality. The ground floor is dedicated to representation and houses an elegant living room with fireplace, two living rooms, a dining room and a spacious kitchen with independent access, ideal for ensuring discretion and practicality. On the upper floor, connected by a wooden staircase, there is the sleeping area consisting of seven bedrooms and four bathrooms.
On the east side of the complex there is an annex building that houses the service rooms and incorporates the remains of an ancient deconsecrated church, now transformed into a fascinating hall for events or music room, characterized by a suggestive terminal exedra.
Inside the park, entirely bordered by a stone wall, there is also a circular chapel with dome and zenith eye, still consecrated and perfectly suitable for private ceremonies.
The property has recently undergone a major redevelopment and structural consolidation intervention, including anti-seismic adaptation, which has improved its performance while preserving its historical authenticity.
For its architectural quality, the articulation of the spaces and the natural context of great value, this residence lends itself not only as a private representative residence, but also as an exclusive location for events, ceremonies and high-level accommodation activities, offering a unique balance between history, elegance and contemporary potential.
