Historisch appartement 3 slaapkamers, 475 m²

Allerona, Terni (provincie)

In the main square of one of the most beautiful villages in Italy – Allerona – stands the massive Palazzo Visconteo. The palace rises on the site of the original Lerona Castle and was the residence of the Visconti Monaldeschi della Cervara who had it built at the end of the 14th century. The Viscount resided here when Allerona was the castle of the Monaldeschi. Over time, the Palace was expanded and then enhanced in the Renaissance period. In fact, with the arrival of papal power, starting in 1585, the building was further modified by extending the east wing until it merged with the nearby Church of Santa Maria Assunta. A front terrace was also added where previously there was a slope towards the square. Over time it has undergone events, disputes and destruction but some areas of the palace have resisted and, as its legend tells, one wall in particular has remained solid and original thanks to a historical painting of the "Sacrocuore" that protected it.The Palace, today privately owned, has been divided into 4 apartments. The apartment for sale is the main floor located on the first level with access from the large entrance hall and via a shared staircase that leads to an exclusive private internal staircase on the ground floor of the courtyard. The courtyard is also accessible via the back of the alley of the village promenade. The common courtyard is partly used as private garden, adding a lovely outdoor space on the ground floor with French windows from the kitchen for outdoor dining among the medieval walls. On the ground floor, there are a large and comfortable living area/kitchen, a pantry, and the old rooms of the former tower with a storage room and the beautiful original stone spiral staircase which is a protected historical asset. From the kitchen-living room we reach the first floor (height 4.90 m) with large, frescoed beams, where we find a large living room, a hall/study with a French window that leads to the internal terrace and an area of special interest: the ancient well for a suggestive view of both the sunrise and the sunset. The floor is completed by 2 bedrooms, two bathrooms, a small toilet, and a third large room that can be used both as a living area and a sleeping area with a very spacious bedroom/study with balcony. The historic spiral staircase of the former tower reaches this floor, adding a special highlight. Finally, in the basement, there are two traditional cellars. The property is currently inhabited, although to enhance it to the fullest, it requires works and adjustments that would make it even more unique and functional. Suggestive views of the village and the surrounding hills from dawn to dusk. Possibility of purchasing the furniture and a precious antique tapestry that covers a large part of the living room wall.
