Medieval Structure in Viterbo
Amidst the breathtaking landscapes of the Viterbo province, atop a hill, stands a majestic 7th-century castle, its ancient walls holding a fascinating history written over centuries. This splendid mansion is located in the exquisite village of Torre Alfina, at the heart of Lazio, where the borders intertwine with the lush Umbria and charming Tuscany.
Where narrow streets wind among old stone houses and time seems to slow down, sheltered in the shadows of massive towers, lies this romantic castle covering an area of 5,000 sq.m., surrounded by a luxurious Renaissance garden of 1,000 sq.m. In this renowned corner of Italy, a magical world awaits you, where nature and art blend to create an atmosphere of harmony and comfort.
The history of the castle began in the early Middle Ages, when the Monaldeschi della Cervara family built it as a defensive structure. Each stone of these majestic towers holds history—they witnessed the Renaissance splendor of the Sforza Monaldeschi era, survived the romantic transformations of the 19th century, when Count Edoardo Cahen d'Anvers and architect Giuseppe Partini breathed new life into the castle, turning it into a masterpiece of Neo-Gothic style. The grandeur of the landscape is accentuated by elegant gardens, crafted by landscape artists Henri and Achille Duchêne, who infused notes of tranquility and romance into the atmosphere.
Entering the castle, you immerse yourself in an atmosphere of luxurious interiors. Here, marble floors, precious frescoes, vaulted ceilings, exquisite wall decor, and graceful statues combine into a harmonious picture, recreating past eras in their highest expression. The magnificent rooms are adorned with elegant arches and large windows, offering stunning views of the surrounding hills.
On the ground floor of the mansion, you can stroll through a magnificent gallery, peek into spacious halls or cozy living rooms that immerse guests in the atmosphere of aristocratic life of the past. The second floor—piano nobile—is another luxurious gallery, a library with cozy parquet floors, dining rooms, and halls preserving the elegance of bygone centuries. Above are rooms and bedrooms, among which stands out a room with a bath and sauna, seemingly created for relaxation and rejuvenation.
The building is crowned with five picturesque towers, each hiding cozy apartments with panoramic views of the hills, forests, and sky, where one can forget everything, remaining alone with the grandeur and romance of the surrounding world.
The exterior Renaissance-style garden is a soothing combination where the voices of nature intertwine with the murmur of an ancient fountain, and the geometry of neat hedges and fragrant flowers fills the air with charm and tenderness.
Nearby stretches a natural landscape, captivating with its untouched beauty and numerous picturesque routes passing through dense forests, crystal-clear rivers, and vineyards, inviting you to explore the secrets of this amazing region.
The castle in Torre Alfina is a unique opportunity to acquire not just a property, but a piece of history, romance, and beauty, perfectly suited for a family residence or an exclusive hotel business. This romantic mansion is designed to create unforgettable memories, combining the charm of the past with the exquisite luxury of modernity in the heart of unforgettable Italian landscapes.
