Tenuta La Splendida Antica country villa

Through extensive and painstaking restoration, Villa La Splendida Antica retains the charm of the 1920s. The symbolic splendour of the d'Annunzio Villa is matched here by the sheer elegance of the interior which creates a feeling of spaciousness, light and lake air flowing through the building. A superb example of a carefully planned architectural design using arches and arcaded terracing within a stunning landscape. The renovation combines modern comfort whilst retaining the history of the property: where possible, antique furniture has been restored; the baths are modern but follow the original 'roll-top' design, and the kitchen is contemporary and well equipped. You occupy a substantial part of the whole villa on the ground and first floor, facing both the lake at the front and the garden (with stunning arcaded terrace) to the side. The rear part of the property is not used. The Villa offers a spacious living and dining salon with open fireplace; in the living room there is a piano to play; a large kitchen; a further separate dining room with fireplace; four double bedrooms each with their own bathroom and an entrance hall complete with billiard table. The rooms have stone and parquet floors. Arrival/departures only Sa/Sa possible. Other days on request. - From the private parking place, an outside stone stairway takes you up through your private garden - with arcade terracing - to the property and through the door to the entrance hall with billiard table. A central hallway leads south, facing the garden, into your dining room and substantial, well-equipped kitchen which, in turn, opens up through an arch throughway entrance to the large salon (also accessible from the hallway). Both the dining room and lake-facing salon feature their own open fireplace. The salon, with couches and chairs around the fireplace, Sat TV and dining table and chairs, opens out through an arch doorway to your furnished lake-view balcony. On this level there is a small guest WC with washbasin. The stairway leads up to the top floor with partly covered, arcaded terrace facing the lake. It is possible to access both the lake-facing bedrooms from this terrace. The third and fourth double bedroom with ensuite bathrooms face the south on the garden side. All bedrooms have their own bathroom, equipped with shower or bath.
