Description
In the charming setting of one of the most fascinating villages in Italy, immersed in the Prosecco D.O.C. area and a few steps from the Tagliamento river, stands this extraordinary Veneto-Habsburg villa, one of the best-preserved historic residences in the region.
The entire complex, characterized by a sober and harmonious neoclassical elegance, extends for about 2,300 square meters internally, distributed among several buildings that fit perfectly into the context of a centuries-old 1.7 hectare park. The garden, embellished with monumental trees, nineteenth-century statues, and a splendid fountain, culminates in a refined Italian garden, meticulously cared for and enriched by scenic geometric perspectives.
The main villa, the heart of the complex, is spread over three levels with a rectangular plan and features the typical nineteenth-century architectural symmetry, with windows and linteled portals. On the sides, two connected barns develop, one of which houses a large panoramic terrace. The interior spaces offer seven bedrooms and eleven bathrooms, distributed in bright and refined spaces that preserve the original details of the time.
The history of the property dates back to the early decades of the nineteenth century when it was built by the will of Francesco Zannier, and then passed to the noble Variola family, renowned for their milling tradition. During the twentieth century, the villa played an important role: first transformed into a field hospital during the First World War, then requisitioned again by German troops in the Second War. Only in 1996, a careful restoration brought the residence and its park back to its ancient splendor, with particular attention to the enhancement of the Barn.
Today, the property represents a prestigious location for private events, receptions, ceremonies, and business meetings. The spacious, elegant, and welcoming halls are suitable for any occasion, while the more intimate spaces offer intimate and private atmospheres.
The restored Barn, transformed into a renowned restaurant, has two large rooms with ancient terracotta flooring and wooden ceilings, illuminated by a spectacular glass window overlooking the park. The outdoor area is complemented by a convenient parking lot for guests and clients.
This unique historic residence, located in the heart of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, represents a rare opportunity for those who wish to live surrounded by the charm of history and nature, as well as for those who intend to successfully continue the hospitality and events business already started.
