The Main Villa The main villa, spanning approximately 470 square meters (5,059 sq ft) across four levels, has been meticulously restored with profound respect for its rich heritage. The restoration has revealed stunning decorative features that were long hidden, including original frescoes, pictorial details, and ornamental elements brought back to life through a careful conservation process. While the villa's origins date back to the 15th and 16th centuries, its current layout was shaped by expansions during the 18th and 19th centuries. Despite subtle Liberty-style influences from the early 20th century, the building proudly maintains its predominantly 18th-century architectural character.

It also includes a kitchen, a private study, one bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, a charming private chapel, and a discreet laundry area beneath the staircase.
