In the heart of Breganze, along the ancient municipal road of Valletta, we are offering Villa Arrigoni for sale, a prestigious historic residence now a hotel and restaurant, known as “Al Toresan.” The villa dates back to the late 18th century and has been owned by important noble families (Volner, Carcano-Volpe, Barbaro, Arrigoni) over the years. Purchased by the Counts Arrigoni in 1884, it represents a property of inestimable historical and environmental value, cited by numerous local historians. Here, in May 1916, the historic Grand War Council was held under the aegis of King Victor Emmanuel III, with the presence of General Luigi Cadorna, an event that links the property to a fundamental page in the history of Italy. The building, considered a single structure dating back to 1882 (the last major intervention by the Arrigoni Counts), has three floors, with a two-level rear section. The architectural design is clearly inspired by Palladio, with connecting halls, serliana windows, original Palladian and Venetian floors, stairs in pink Asiago marble and white stone, decorated ceilings, and interior and exterior frescoes. Since 1965, the villa has been home to a restaurant and hospitality business: a historic restaurant with a strong Venetian identity, whose signature dish is the famous torresani (pigeons spit-roasted in the impressive open fireplace). 11 very quiet rooms with bathrooms overlooking the hills, the bell tower, and the surrounding hills. The interior spaces include several dining rooms, a bar, a kitchen with a large historic fireplace, pantries, a vaulted cellar, and an ancient ice house. In 2001, the orchard, vegetable gardens, and vineyard behind the villa were reunited with the property. Today, they have been restored and are used for the restaurant's cuisine, strengthening the link between the territory, production, and hospitality. Value and potential Villa Arrigoni is unique in the Veneto real estate market: a historic residence of high architectural and cultural value, an established and well-known business, ideal for a boutique hotel, gourmet restaurant, relais, representative office, or conservation restoration project. A property that requires sensitivity and vision, but offers a unique historical, architectural, and identity heritage. ----- POSITION Breganze – The authentic heart of Veneto Nestled among rolling hills, Breganze is a town that combines tranquility, quality of life, and economic dynamism. The area is characterized by vineyards, orderly countryside, and historic Venetian villas, evidence of a long agricultural and cultural tradition. The town is known for its strong wine and food tradition, with the prestigious DOC Breganze and the famous Torcolato, symbols of a food and wine identity that is also appreciated internationally. Alongside its rural dimension, Breganze boasts a lively economic fabric, with important industrial and manufacturing activities operating both locally and internationally, making it one of the most solid production centers in the Vicenza area. Its location is strategic and central in the Veneto region: just a few minutes from Marostica, Bassano del Grappa, Thiene, and Vicenza, it allows you to reach Venice and Verona in less than an hour, Padua in 45 minutes, and the Asiago Plateau in about 40 minutes. The Pedemontana Veneta motorway provides quick connections to all the main regional cities, while the presence of numerous bus lines makes Breganze an important provincial transport hub. Breganze is the ideal place to live, invest, and enhance a heritage where history, landscape, and business coexist in perfect balance. ----- DETAILS Strategic opportunity in the hospitality market of northern Vicenza Villa Arrigoni represents a unique and highly competitive opportunity in the hospitality landscape of northern Vicenza, an area long recognized for its excellence in wine and food, the quality of its hilly landscapes, and its strong historical and cultural value, but still lacking in high-profile accommodation facilities with a strong identity. In an area such as Breganze, known nationally and internationally for its wine production and gastronomic tradition, a historic structure of this level can be a decisive competitive advantage, capable of intercepting a demand that is increasingly oriented towards authentic experiences, places with character, and accommodation options linked to the territory. The Alto Vicentino area also has a constant demand for both tourist and business hospitality. Alongside traditional tourism, linked to the landscape, culture, and food and wine, business tourism is particularly important, fueled by the strong propensity of local companies to operate in foreign markets and host international customers, technicians, and partners. This segment requires elegant, discreet, and small-scale facilities that offer comfort, quality, and identity. ----- VON POLL REAL ESTATE Info: Oscar's whatsapp +39 335 579 7312

What is the Energy Efficiency Rating?
The energy efficiency rating is a value expressed by letters ranging from A4 to G which indicates the energy quality and consumption of the building based on parameters such as the shape and climate zone in which it is located. The better the energy efficiency rating, the lower the energy consumption and cost of air-conditioning the building. Please note: buildings belonging to the same class can also have very different energy consumptions if the shape and climate zone are different.
What is the EPgl (Global Energy Performance index)?
The EPgl indicates how much energy is consumed so that the building or the building unit reaches comfort conditions, and is based on the energy services present and according to the type of property under standard use. The unit of measurement is kWh/m2 per year.
