Prestigious 17th-century Noble Villa For Sale In Vicenza

Immersed in the countryside below the Berici Hills, but just a ten-minute drive from Vicenza, Palladio's birthplace, this prestigious noble villa for sale was built in 1620 by a pupil of Palladio as the country home of the Ferramosca Counts, an ancient aristocratic Venetian family.

Recently renovated and furnished with magnificent antiques, this three-storey villa has retained all the typical elements of the 17th-century style, including some typical Venetian terrazzo floors, very high ceilings and elegant doors. Alongside the villa there is a splendid annex, which has also undergone a radical renovation, for a total of 1,500 internal, sumptuous and grandiloquent sqm.

The building has undergone several alterations over the years, especially in the internal areas, until it was purchased by its current owners in the 1970s, who commissioned the last and definitive restoration, bringing it back to its original splendor. Set on a rectangular perimeter, it has four elevations that reproduce the same architectural forms, with a single variation represented by the number of windows, which is different on the western and eastern façade.

The property today features an exclusive private home, a perfect oasis to escape from the frenetic modern lifestyle: its position, on a small hill in the heart of the Berici Hills, near Vicenza, offers a wonderful view dotted with castles, historical villas and hills planted with vines in an area particularly known for its excellent wine and exquisite typical Venetian cuisine.

Here, where the charm of the countryside meets the comforts and services of a big Venetian city, a stone's throw from the lake, the sea and the mountains, this villa stands out with its austere elegance, surrounded by beautiful perimeter walls and lush vegetation.

Privacy is in fact guaranteed by a large garden measuring almost one hectare, 8,000 sqm of greenery which offer a fascinating setting for different types of events, from ceremonies to concerts, also thanks to the elegance of the villa's spacious halls, first of all the central one on the ground floor, called the ballroom, and the four surrounding rooms, including a dining room for twelve people, a perfectly equipped kitchen and a big underground cellar.

On the first floor there is a sleeping area with four bedrooms and three bathrooms, two of which with a shower and one with a bathtub. On this floor there is also a big cloakroom lounge with a relaxation area, a reading area and a TV corner. On the top floor there is a leisure area with a beautiful billiard table.

Located in a slightly elevated position at the end of a small town on the outskirts of Vicenza, this majestic residence is located in a strategic area for reaching the main Venetian cities, half an hour from Verona's Valerio Catullo airport and less than an hour from Venice Marco Polo airport, with two golf courses nearby, a riding stable and a well-equipped gym with SPA and beauty center.
