Luxury villa by Lake Albano in Castel Gandolfo
Description Ref. 5861
Luxurious Villa with Breathtaking View of Lake Albano in Castel Gandolfo
This elegant luxury estate, located in the picturesque area of Rome, is nestled in a lush park with oaks and magnolias, offering a stunning view of Lake Albano.
The exclusive complex spans an area of 3.5 hectares, featuring centuries-old trees, bonsai cedars, well-maintained rose gardens, and a fruit orchard of about one hectare with rare feijoa trees.
In this green oasis, there are several buildings: the main villa, a cozy colonial courtyard, two independent dépendances, a greenhouse, and a graceful mansion in classical style. The total area of the buildings is about 1600 sq. m.
This residence, owned in the 1950s by actress Mariella Lotti, became legendary as the country residence of Count Luchino Visconti di Modrone, one of the greatest Italian directors, known for his exquisite taste and perfectionism.
The Count personally supervised a large-scale restoration that lasted about five years, investing his love for beauty into it. Thanks to this, the estate is today considered a unique example of architectural taste and exceptional charm.
The main gates of the villa, made of wrought iron and dating back to the 15th century, were gifted to the Visconti family by the Savoy dynasty.
The main villa, with an area of 800 sq. m, consists of three levels.
On the ground floor, guests are greeted by a luxurious entrance adorned with carved panels made from Swiss pine wood. The spacious living room features a rare 18th-century majolica fireplace, brought by Count Visconti from one of his previous residences.
Also on this floor are two kitchens with garden access, two bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, a dressing room, and a separate suite with an independent entrance.
An elegant spiral staircase leads to the first floor, where the master bedroom with a bathroom and fireplace is located, along with two more bedrooms and two bathrooms.
From here, there is access to a magnificent panoramic terrace with a breathtaking view of the lake and a luxurious winter garden.
On the second level, there is another bedroom with a bathroom and a spacious terrace with views of the mountains and the lake.
The additional buildings deserve special attention: two separate units with an elegant pool, a two-story house with a spacious loft, an autonomous apartment, and a two-level country house.
The property provides ample parking areas.
An ideal purchase for connoisseurs of noble antiquity and unparalleled seclusion, this historic estate, harmoniously surrounded by nature, is located just 300 meters from the summer residence of the Holy Father and a few minutes' drive from the center of Rome.
