18th-century noble residence in Busseto, Parma – Emilia-Romagna
Ref. PRM305
Few residences are able to evoke the genius loci of a region with such intensity. Villa Politi is one of them: an 18th-century noble residence situated in the Bassa Parmense, just a few minutes from Giuseppe Verdi’s birthplace, in a landscape suspended between the Po Valley and historical memory, where music, art and great Italian cuisine have written unforgettable chapters.

Listed in the General Catalogue of Architectural and Landscape Heritage, the villa embodies the aesthetic ideal of 18th-century Emilian aristocracy: solemn proportions, original frescoes of exquisite craftsmanship, period statues and a sequence of state rooms that still convey all their nobility today. The two main floors retain the imprint of the past intact, whilst the structure lends itself naturally to a contemporary reinterpretation of the highest standard.

The property is spread over four levels: the two main floors intended for formal entertaining and residential use, the attic with its more intimate and flexible spaces, and the basement, which in large Emilian country houses traditionally served as service quarters and a cellar. The total floor area exceeds 1,170 m², with a net floor area of over 1,020 m² — dimensions that give the property extraordinary versatility of use, whether for private residential purposes or for high-end hospitality projects.

Surrounding the villa on all four sides is an exclusive plot of approximately 9,290 square metres comprising gardens and agricultural land. A space that today presents itself in its natural simplicity, ready to be reimagined by a skilled hand: a formal park, an Italian garden, a private orchard, or simply the green breathing space that every grand residence needs to fully express itself.

The restoration work already underway has restored the frescoes and sculptures to their former splendour. Underfloor heating is pre-installed on the main floors, ready for completion. The villa presents itself to its new owner as a canvas of extraordinary value upon which to write a new chapter: a prestigious private residence, a charming country house, a boutique hotel or a cultural centre — in one of Italy’s most evocative and gastronomically renowned regions.
