Historical Castle with Towers and Renaissance Garden in Torre Alfina

In the village of Torre Alfina, in the municipality of Acquapendente, this approximately 5,000 sqm castle for sale represents a prestigious property of historical and architectural value. Surrounded by a 1,000 sqm Renaissance garden, the complex develops over five levels, includes 35 rooms, five panoramic towers, frescoed environments, and external spaces ideal for exclusive events. A monumental residence with great potential as a private home, boutique hotel, luxury resort, or trophy asset in Central Italy.

History, Architecture, and Main Environments

The castle dates back to the 18th century, when it was conceived as a fortress belonging to the Monaldeschi family. Toward the end of the 19th century, Count Edoardo Cahen d’Anvers transformed the property, entrusting its renovation to architect Giuseppe Partini and landscape designers Henri and Achille Duchêne. The intervention defined the current identity of the residence, enriched by refined details and well-maintained gardens.

On the ground floor, a bright gallery with frescoed walls and arches opens to views of the village and countryside. On the same level, there are three kitchens, pantry rooms, and five large bedrooms. The first floor hosts representative salons, a dining room, a library with fine hardwood flooring, and over ten bedrooms, including a suite with private bathroom and sauna. The second floor includes additional rooms and service areas. The five towers offer panoramic spaces and breathtaking views.

Historical Finishes and Fine Details

The interiors maintain a noble character, with vaulted ceilings decorated with inlaid wood, marble floors, bifore windows framed in lava stone, antique furnishings, statues, and paintings. A grand marble staircase connects the different levels.

Garden, Courtyards, and External Spaces

The 1,000 sqm Renaissance garden, with ordered geometries and a central fountain, creates an elegant and private setting. The courtyards and open spaces provide a rare and beautiful backdrop for receptions, private events, and representation moments, with views of the Lazio hills.
