Description
The Castle of Torre Alfina: a historic gem in the heart of the Alta Tuscia!
In the picturesque village of Torre Alfina, an authentic jewel nestled in the hills of the province of Viterbo, stands a castle of incomparable charm and historical value: a majestic medieval residence of about 5,000 m2 of interiors, distributed over five levels, and surrounded by 1,000 m2 of Renaissance gardens.
This exclusive property, today for sale, is a masterpiece of architecture and history, a place where time seems to have stopped between ancient walls, sumptuous interiors and five towers that stand out over the Lazio countryside. A position of excellence Torre Alfina, a hamlet of the municipality of Acquapendente, is in a privileged position on the border between Lazio, Umbria and Tuscany.
The medieval village retains its original charm, with paved streets, stone houses and panoramic views of the countryside.
The surroundings offer numerous paths surrounded by nature, ideal for those who love hiking, unspoilt landscapes and the quiet of a timeless place.
The origins of the castle date back to the Early Middle Ages, when the Monaldesca della Cervara tower dominated the Alfina plateau.
In the Renaissance, Sforza Monaldeschi turned the fortress into an elegant stately residence.
The most significant metamorphosis occurred in 1880, when Count Edoardo Cahen d'Anvers bought the property and assigned the architect Giuseppe Partini and the Henri and Achille Duchêne gardens to redesign it in neogotic style, enriching it with refined Italian gardens.
Through the centuries, the castle has represented a cultural and architectural reference point, reflecting the events of its owners and the artistic trends of the time.
Spread over five levels, the castle houses 35 rooms and rooms of great artistic value.
Ground floor: monumental gallery with frescoes, inlaid wood ceilings, marble floors and large arched windows with panoramic views. There are also three kitchens, utility rooms and five bedrooms.
Main floor: large gallery, over ten bedrooms (including one suite with bathroom and private sauna), dining room, reception rooms and wooden paved library.
Upper floors: bedrooms, warehouses and rooms located in the five towers, from which offers a spectacular view of the village and the countryside.
The interiors are an authentic homage to history, embellished with sculptures, frescoes, fireplaces and marble and lava stone decorations.
A monumental staircase elegantly connects all floors of the residence.
The Renaissance garden of about 1,000 m2 represents an oasis of peace and beauty, with geometric beds, carved hedges and a central fountain that creates an atmosphere of harmony and refinement.
The outdoor areas, ideal for private events or ceremonies, offer a perfect combination of nature, elegance and privacy.
The Castle of Torre Alfina is not only a residence, but an authentic testimony of Italian history, perfect as a private residence of prestigious or as a luxury accommodation facility.
A place where art, architecture and landscape blend into a timeless experience in the beating heart of the Alta Tuscia.
