Breganze, Veneto 36042

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.
