Description
This prestigious villa is set in an elegant, verdant environment just ten minutes from the center of Vicenza, with panoramic views over the hills and the Valle del Silenzio—so named by the writer Antonio Fogazzaro, an ancestor of the property’s owners.
Fogazzaro had his Vicenza residence here and wrote some of his most important works at this very location, including Piccolo Mondo Moderno and Daniele Cortis.
The property is accessed via a charming cobblestone road leading to an automated gate.
The meticulously maintained fenced garden features a covered parking area and a semicircular swimming pool with a changing room and an outdoor shower.
The property borders the famous Villa Valmarana ai Nani and its majestic gardens, which can be admired from both the pool area and the master bedroom.
A splendid terrace also offers enchanting views and unforgettable sunsets.
The villa, fully renovated in 2013, retains its original charm. Inside, with a total area of approximately 850 sqm, it houses eight double bedrooms, three service rooms, and eight bathrooms spread across four levels.
On the lower level, there is a very large fully equipped kitchen with a fireplace, connected via a convenient dumbwaiter to the dining room on the upper floors. There is also an ironing room, a laundry room, several staff rooms, a large living room, a study, and a storage area.
On the ground floor, a bright and elegant entrance leads to the master suite, complete with a private bathroom, walk-in closet, lounge area, and direct access to the pool area. There is also another double bedroom with a bathroom, an elegant living room with a fireplace and garden access, as well as a dining room with an adjoining sitting area. A practical service room houses a small kitchen and the dumbwaiter arrival point.
On the first floor, there are four double bedrooms—two with private bathrooms and two with internal sinks—accompanied by a small sitting–study area that can be converted into an additional double bedroom, as well as a service room, a bathroom, and a shower area.
The top floor attic features a spacious double bedroom with a bathroom and a large walk-in wardrobe.
The approximately three-hectare park surrounding the villa is home to majestic century-old trees such as cypresses, Lebanese cedars, and maritime pines. In the lower part of the garden, there is a vegetable and fruit garden complete with a tool shed.
The property is further enhanced by three fields located in the Valletta del Silenzio, currently leased for various crops.
