Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Palazzo Estate Piedmont is delighted to present one of Italy’s most prestigious estates: Tenuta Borgomasca in Val Trebbia (Piacenza).

The estate features three separate entrances, one of which leads to the main Villa through an elegant tree-lined avenue.
Designed with meticulous attention to detail, the park features rare plants and diverse floral varieties.
On-site amenities include:
Infinity pool (29m x 19m, depth up to 2.8m)
Natural swimming pond
Tennis and football courts
Bocce / Pétanque court
Turkish bath and gym
The entire property is fully fenced and equipped with state-of-the-art security systems.

BORGOMASCA: THE VILLA
A building of significant historical interest dating back to the 1600s, the Villa has been restored following the principles of conservative restoration and historical enhancement. Spanning three floors plus a basement, the 1,440 sqm residence features frescoed halls, lounges, a library, an elevator, and a professional kitchen. A unique historical "gelateria" (ice house) is located in the cellar. Modern comforts include underfloor heating and a central cooling system.

INTERIORS
The interiors reflect a refined Neoclassical style. Original frescoes on vaulted ceilings and masonry walls have been painstakingly restored by local artisans. The finishes are of the highest quality: antique terracotta and marble floors, oak parquet, ornate boiserie, and decorated doors, all harmonizing perfectly with the building's historical soul.

THE FARMHOUSES (CASE DI CAMPAGNA)
The estate includes 7 independent farmhouses (totaling 3,928 sqm), renovated using traditional local materials such as stone, exposed brick, and timber beams. Beyond residential use, each house serves a unique purpose: cinema and TV room, billiard room, ballroom/music hall, and a banquet hall. Outdoor living is enhanced by porches, pergolas, and a fully equipped summer kitchen with a wood-fired pizza oven and BBQ.

THE PARK
The 50,000 sqm grounds were crafted by a team of landscape architects and agronomists. A highlight is the large artificial lake designed to eco-green standards, which appears as a continuous mirror of water separated from the pool by a wooden pier. Copper lanterns and iron-edged gravel walkways illuminate and define the perimeter of this lush sanctuary.

STRATEGIC LOCATION
Situated in the municipality of Gazzola (PC) at the foot of Val Trebbia—often called "The Little Tuscany"—the estate is surrounded by historic castles and renowned wineries.
Accessibility: 15 minutes from the A1 motorway (Castel San Giovanni or Piacenza Sud).
Proximity: Piacenza (20 km), Milan (90 km), Parma, and Genoa.
Airports: Linate and Parma are under an hour away.
Helicopter Transfer: Only 20 minutes from Milan Linate directly to Borgomasca.

HISTORICAL NOTES
The area is steeped in history, famously known as the site of the Battle of the Trebbia between Hannibal and the Romans. First mentioned in 1462 in the records of Count Bartolomeo Scotti, the Villa contains frescoes depicting the estate itself and Olympian deities. These artworks are attributed to the same master who decorated Villa Giacometti in the early 1800s, marking the estate as a true jewel of Italian architectural heritage.
