Description
Villa Le Grotte is located in a hilly area overlooking the center of Verona, in the prestigious neighborhood known as "Torricelle". Despite its proximity to the city center, accessed through the famous "lasagna," a historic cobblestone road serving the Austrian forts, one finds oneself immersed in the tranquility of olive groves, with a breathtaking view of the meander of the Adige River and the city's bell towers, creating the sensation of being able to touch them with one's fingers.
The villa was originally a small convent from the 14th century, later transformed into a residence through restoration by the architect Tommaso Buzzi. He altered its appearance with an ideal organization of spaces and a design of finishes, turning it into an elegant Venetian villa. Buzzi is also responsible for the creation of unique elements such as libraries, wardrobes, doors, furnishings, and bathrooms, all combining beauty and functionality.
A unique feature of this property is the tuff caves adjacent to the villa. The main one serves as a charming cool retreat on summer days, often used for parties and gatherings. The other caves have been converted into service areas such as a garage, cellar, and boiler room.
Surrounded by a beautiful garden with a diverse range of plants of remarkable beauty and quality, the property also includes a park that extends over several terraces with rock gardens, flowers, and plants of all kinds. An olive grove with multiple olive trees, some of which are centuries old, completes the estate.
It is a charming villa, captivating both in winter dawns when Verona's bell towers rise above the fog that envelops the plain, and in summer evenings when one can enjoy a refreshing breeze, admiring the city lights from the silence and tranquility of the garden.
Ideal as either a single or multiple private residence, a boutique hotel, or a potential assisted living facility (RSA).
