Ancient Villa with fine period
Nestled in the hills of Reggio Emilia, near the historic lands of Matilde di Canossa, this elegant 18th-century Art Nouveau villa is for sale in a town renowned for its ceramics industry. Surrounded by protected natural landscapes, castles, and medieval villages, the property spans over 1,500 sqm and is set in a richly planted park of 2.5 hectares. The estate includes three residential buildings: a grand 1700s manor house, a former servants’ farmhouse, and a small villa for staff. The main residence features coffered ceilings, frescoes, period furnishings, and nine bedrooms with five bathrooms. A large industrial kitchen and stately entertaining areas complement the elegant interiors. The annex, renovated in the 1990s, maintains original terracotta and wooden floors and includes caretaker accommodations. The grounds boast a centuries-old oak, an English-style park, an Italian garden with rare plants, a playground, and a large swimming pool (in need of restoration) with full amenities including a gazebo and outdoor kitchen. Located between Reggio Emilia and Modena, the villa offers a prestigious retreat immersed in history, nature, and the cultural richness of Emilia Romagna. Ref: 13979
