Description
VICENZA Vicenza is widely, and not by chance, 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 wish to distance themselves from the stress of everyday life. For its beauty and its unique characteristics, the villa was recently used by Canale 5 for a successful fiction, broadcast in prime time, with a high approval rating. The villa was completely rebuilt after the war destruction of 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, is designed by the architect Crespi. The villa is still very well preserved, because it has been constantly lived in and well maintained over the years, with a radical renovation done in recent years. It is spread over two living levels plus an attic and basement with utility rooms. The property is reached via an ancient path paved with local stones, on which the memory of the time when it was traveled by horse-drawn carriages resurfaces. A boundary wall and an automated wrought iron gate delimit the access to the villa, ensuring exceptional privacy. Through a panoramic driveway, which leads to the main entrance and a covered parking lot, you are surrounded by a garden of about 6400 square meters in which shady centuries-old trees, such as cypresses, maritime pines and cedar of Lebanon, together with fragrant bushes of olea fragrans and roses, join with a slightly steep terrain that hosts 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 of Giambattista and Giandomenico Tiepolo, there is a working swimming pool with changing room and outdoor shower, at the edge of which you can enjoy a panoramic view of all the greenery surrounding the Valletta del Silenzio.
