In the picturesque village of Torre Alfina, a true gem nestled in the hills of the province of Viterbo, stands a castle of incomparable charm and historical value: a majestic medieval residence with approximately 5,000 m² of interior space, spread over five levels, and surrounded by 1,000 m² of Renaissance gardens. This exclusive property, now for sale, is a masterpiece of architecture and history, a place where time seems to have stood still amidst centuries-old walls, sumptuous interiors, and five towers that soar above the panorama of the Lazio countryside. An excellent location, Torre Alfina, a hamlet in the municipality of Acquapendente, enjoys a privileged location on the border of Lazio, Umbria, and Tuscany. The medieval village retains its original charm, with cobbled streets, stone houses, and panoramic views of the countryside. The surrounding area offers numerous nature trails, ideal for those who love trekking, pristine landscapes, and the tranquility of a timeless place. The castle's origins date back to the Early Middle Ages, when the Monaldeschi della Cervara tower dominated the Alfina plateau. During the Renaissance, Sforza Monaldeschi transformed the fortress into an elegant stately home. The most significant transformation occurred in 1880, when Count Edoardo Cahen d'Anvers purchased the property and commissioned architect Giuseppe Partini and gardeners Henri and Achille Duchêne to redesign it in a neo-Gothic style, enriching it with elegant Italian gardens. Over the centuries, the castle has served as a cultural and architectural landmark, reflecting the fortunes of its owners and the artistic trends of the time. Spread across five levels, the castle houses 35 rooms and spaces of great artistic value. Ground floor: monumental gallery with frescoes, inlaid wood ceilings, marble floors, and large arched windows offering panoramic views. There are also three kitchens, utility rooms, and five bedrooms. Piano nobile: large gallery, over ten bedrooms (including a suite with bathroom and private sauna), a dining room, state rooms, and a wood-floored library. Upper floors: bedrooms, storage rooms, and rooms located in the five towers, offering spectacular views of the village and the countryside. The interiors are a true tribute to history, embellished with sculptures, frescoes, fireplaces, and marble and lava stone decorations. A monumental staircase elegantly connects all the floors of the residence. The approximately 1,000 m² Renaissance garden is an oasis of peace and beauty, with geometric flowerbeds, sculpted hedges, and a central fountain creating an atmosphere of harmony and refinement. The outdoor spaces, ideal for private events or ceremonies, offer a perfect blend of nature, elegance, and privacy.
