This mansion captivates at the first moment when the eye, heart and mind rest on her. Its history is traced on a line of perfection and attention, culture and research that makes it the custodian of artistic choices of the highest level.
The English landscape architect Holmes has traced the narrative of the park that lives by a perfect balance in the organization of its wavy spaces that harmoniously integrate swimming pool and tennis court. The interiors also bear the important signature of architect Camillo Bianchi in the renovation that has breathed new life into the mansion formerly known as Villa Zanchi.
But only the taste of the owners has been able to transfer the elegant and refined soul that is tangible in the choices made.

Rarely does it happen to find so much art and so much history intertwined under one roof.
The mansion has three floors of ample space and a wine cellar with the flavor of wines guarded by the vaults of river stones.
The ground floor, reserved for daytime reception, is traversed by Venetian seminato floors, the work of Venetian artisan artists specially engaged in the composition. Walls and ceilings bear graceful decorations of understated elegance that dialogue with the eighteenth-century color choices of the furnishings. The upholstery in the rooms, the work of the Quirinal upholsterer, displays fine fabrics that delineate each room´s own character. Antique fireplaces surmounted by mirrors with large, rich gilded frames create an artistic context born of research and passion sprung from the heart: and only what is born from the heart can return true emotions, as happens in this residence.Each object tells its own story in its provenance from fine historical contexts, such as the gilded mirrored doors that arrived from a Sicilian villa, or the 18th-century boiserie that spans the entire perimeter of the dining room from floor to ceiling, comes from a Bordeaux chateau and diffuses a French taste totally unique in its wonderful truth. Eighteenth-century Genoese chandeliers illuminate the toile de jouy that cloaks the large table resting on the characteristic wooden floor also from previous experience in ancient mansions.
The ground floor rooms dialogue with the park from openings that give nive views of Iceberg roses and reserved boxwood embraces. The exclusive custom-made professional kitchen bears the Molteni signature of Saint Vallier and handcrafts a dream of living.
The three floors are connected by internal elevator and the staircase with a harmonious and sinuous design made of white marble in the steps and wrought iron in the matching mantle.
The second floor is dedicated to the intimate and reserved sleeping area, refined and connoted in its identity of rest. The five bedrooms are all equipped with a bathroom and closet room delineating autonomous morphologies and characteristic physiognomies: from the blue and gold room with a Napoleonic flavor to the more feminine breath from the lit de ciel with checked fabric with French echoes.
The master bedroom suite reveals a world apart that combines bon ton and the wisdom of savoir vivre. The terrace overlooks the park and its blooms, carries the scent of lavender below, and welcomes the light filtered by the taffeta framing the windows. The two respective closets and bathrooms are dedicated to spouses and declined in ideal specificities.
The floor bath in the women´s room comes from London and rests on an elevated marble pedestal, the merit of its gold coloring thematizing the room´s color palette and found in the mirror frame and frescoes that tint this realm of private luxury, making it a treasure chest of art.
The men´s bathroom indulges in fewer aesthetic quirks, but does not give up exclusivity in the choice of materials such as Portoro marble in its characteristic texture in black as deep as the mystery of the night. Copper sink, French faucets, candlestick sconces on either side of the mirror return a D´annunziano space from the discreet secret exit concealed in the wall.
The skylight opens the glimpse of sky that illuminates the white marble path of the staircase that, in its final ascent, lands on a floor dedicated to wellness and self-care. A cinema room, gym, sauna and steam room define a realm reserved for pleasure and relaxation. The floor completes the dwelling with large rooms with functional destinations and a service apartment.
This dwelling requires quality time to be savored in every detail and return emotions and endless surprises, such as the discovery of the Wunderkammer on the ground floor.“
