Historic 18th Century Castle with Italian Gardens and Panoramic Views

About the Property

An impressive 18th-century castle, Torre Alfina Castle, is situated on a hill approximately 600 meters above sea level, straddling the borders of Lazio, Tuscany, and Umbria in Italy. Originally constructed around the year 700 as a Lombard-era fortress, this historic residence spans approximately 5,000 square meters and features 25 bedrooms and 15 bathrooms. The property is available for a price on request. Torre Alfina Castle has undergone significant transformations over the centuries, evolving from a fortified tower into an elegant noble residence, particularly under the influence of the Monaldeschi della Cervara family. The 19th-century restoration by architect Giuseppe Partini further defined its architectural layout, blending medieval rigor with Renaissance elegance. The castle's internal courtyard, frescoed rooms, monumental fireplace, and galleries reflect the artistry of those who contributed to its design, reminiscent of the works seen in the Cathedral of Orvieto and the city of Siena. The property extends over five levels, with the ground floor encompassing a monumental gallery, a kitchen, large reception rooms, utility spaces, and storage areas, all connected by a historic staircase. The main floor features a second frescoed gallery, three bedrooms with marble fireplaces, a library adorned with polychrome wood floors, and additional reception rooms leading to a panoramic terrace. The upper levels include attics and ancient granaries in need of renovation, alongside towers with panoramic rooms and cellars in the basement. Surrounded by the enchanting Bosco della Sasseta and exquisite Italian gardens, the castle is embellished with courtyards, green spaces, and a private driveway. The outdoor areas, characterized by sculpted hedges, flowerbeds, and a dramatic fountain, create a serene atmosphere ideal for private events and celebrations. The expansive grounds ensure privacy while offering breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. Torre Alfina Castle has historically served as a gathering place for notable figures in Italian culture, including Matilde Serao, Gabriele D’Annunzio, and Eleonora Duse. Today, it presents a unique opportunity for both a prestigious private residence and a potential investment for high-end hospitality or cultural projects.
