Villachiara, Lombardy

Reference: RLHP-T1560. In Brescia's leafy countryside, just a few minutes from the renowned Franciacorta area, there is this prestigious 15th-century palace for sale. Perfectly preserved over the centuries, now under the protection of the Fine Arts Office, this estate is close to Milan and Lake Garda. Originally from the 15th century, the villa was brought back to life in the 20th century and has a structure of considerable impact, including a majestic brick tower. Its bug portico houses a charming courtyard of honor; the eye is captivated by the splendid 16th-century paintings that adorn the lunettes under the portico, giving the entrance of the villa its sumptuous character. From the panoramic balcony that enriches the rear of the building, the view opens onto the richly-planted park that gently descends along the Oglio valley: an authentic, 1.5-hectare haven of rest in the shade of majestic plants, depicted in all their natural beauty in the frescoes of the 17th-century church that overlooks the courtyard. In the villa's lavish rooms and corridors, we can still admire its prestigious historical details, including splendid frescoes, elegant coffered ceilings, and majestic fireplaces. Ref: 5016
