Description
Villa La Rocca is a luxury residence situated on a secluded and south facing private hilltop only 15 minutes from the centre of Turin. From its dominant position it has spectacular views of the country landscape below as well as the complete vista of the Italian Alps stretching from the peak of Monviso all the way down towards Liguria. Its outstanding panoramic location and beautiful garden in combination with a meticulous curation and refurbishment of iconic late mid-century design, delivers a luxury residence with sumptuous spaces for modern living and entertaining.
EXTERIORS
A private road leads to the main entrance gate, flanked by 2 detached staff and guest lodges that sit above the main double garage and courtyard where we find the main entrance to the villa. The property occupies its own hill of approximately 2 hectares and fits organically into its landscape with 4 distinct exterior areas: the villa and staff lodges on the main ridge with immaculate surrounding terraces, lawns and charming belvedere, a shaded wooded area on the valley side, and as we descend the hill from the front of the villa, a vast entertaining terrace with swimming pool and facilities. Finally on a lower level we find the agricultural area of the property; a modern stable block with summer kitchen and terrace overlooking the orchard and vegetable garden.
INTERIORS
The main villa was designed as 2 geometric spaces on 2 levels that take in the view. The ground floor is the matrix and main living area, a square with rooms on four sides surrounding a central courtyard with stunning master suite in separate wing. The L-shaped upper floor is the main bedroom area, opening onto a spectacular south facing roof terrace. Both floors are connected by 3 separate staircases. The elegant geometry of the original architectural design contrasts the sweeping curvature of the land, the garden design and the breathtaking view of the Alps.
All the indoor spaces connect and flow to the outdoors enhanced by high specification natural materials and coherent design detail; terracotta floors, geometric white wooden panelled ceilings, bespoke joinery as well as tailor made lighting design.
SWIMMING POOL
Steps from the front lawn curve down the hill to a large panoramic and sun-trapped terrace. The recently refurbished swimming pool has a shallow sunbathing area, as well as air and idro-massage jets. There is a shaded dining area with outdoor kitchen (under the belvedere) as well as indoor changing facilities with sauna, bathroom and treatment room. An outdoor sound system creates a wonderful atmosphere during sundowners or big parties with an evening view of the mountains that continues to take our breath away.
