Description
VICENZA Vicenza is widely, and not surprisingly, known as the city of Palladio. In this beautiful city rich in art and culture, ten minutes from the historic center, we offer for sale this elegant residence that has always been loved and described by the owners themselves as a hearth of hospitality for relatives and friends. The elegant and prestigious context in which it is immersed reflects the simple refinement and linearity of Palladian lines. The location is enchanting, panoramic and quiet on the crest of the hill overlooking the Valletta del Silenzio, where various Palladian villas and the Sanctuary of Monte Berico stand. Living here gives peace and serenity to those who want to escape from the stress of everyday life. Due to its beauty and unique characteristics, the villa was recently used by Canale 5 for a successful drama, broadcast in prime time, with a high approval rating. The villa was completely rebuilt after the war destruction in 1943. Of beautiful and rational architecture, the distribution of the rooms highlights how they follow the rule of light, which enhances and caresses every corner of the house. The reconstruction, carried out immediately after the war, was designed by the architect Crespi. The villa is still very well preserved, having been constantly lived in and well maintained over the years, with a radical renovation carried out in recent years. It is spread over two living levels plus attic and basement with service rooms. The property is reached via an ancient path paved with local stones, on which the memory of the time when it was crossed by horse-drawn carriages resurfaces. A surrounding wall and an automated wrought iron gate delimit access to the villa, guaranteeing exceptional privacy. Through a panoramic driveway, which leads to the main entrance and a covered car park, you are surrounded by a garden covering approximately 6400 m2 in which shady centuries-old trees, such as cypresses, maritime pines and cedars of Lebanon, together with fragrant olea fragrans and roses, join with a slightly steep terrain which houses the vegetable garden, for the cultivation of vegetables and fruit and a storage room for tools. On the border with the park of the famous Palladian villa Valmarana ai Nani, where you can admire the frescoes by Giambattista and Giandomenico Tiepolo, there is a functioning swimming pool equipped with a changing room and external shower, at the edges of which you can enjoy a panoramic view of everything the greenery surrounding the Valletta del Silenzio.
