Description

Palazzo, as its name suggests, is a large formal rendered villa located in the heart of the Reschio Estate. A twin staircase leads up from the front terrace to the First Floor and this floor in the Italian Villa tradition is called the Piano Nobile and holds the formal Drawing Room or Salone in Italian. A solid stone tower contains a semi-spiral hand built travertine staircase leading from basement to the second floor where the spacious master suite is located. There are 4 further en-suite guest bedrooms, one on the ground floor and three on the first floor. Palazzo has been restored to the very highest standard of renovation and design and incorporates many innovative features as well as staying true to the age and integrity of a country villa. It stands in a commanding position with magnificent 360° views and has an extensive parterre, a heated 20 x 5m infinity swimming pool with covered loggia, a tennis court and several outdoor sitting and dining areas.
