Acqui Terme
Piemonte
This beautiful estate, consisting of a main house, an annexe and a 5-hectare park, is called "Tenuta Paganona" and is located in the countryside, just 1.5 km from the town of Acqui Terme.
The estate, surrounded by a fully fenced 5-hectare park, has a long history and has been on the cadastral maps since the early 19th century. In the early 20th century, it became an integral part of a complex of houses belonging to the Counts Ottolenghi, who in turn owned the large and historic Villa Ottolenghi complex. After 1923, the same professionals and, above all, the same architect, the famous Marcello Piacentini (urban planner and designer of buildings and squares in Italy and in the capital itself), who worked on the restoration of Villa Ottolenghi, began renovating Cascina Paganona, transforming it into an elegant country house which fitted perfectly into the local landscape, thanks to the use of local, hand-hewn and worked stone for the walls, Luserna stone for the stairs, brick vaults in the salon with marble inlays and marble initials in the vaults of the loggia, chestnut doors with wrought-iron hinges and many other details.
After World War II and until almost the 1990s, the estate was empty, but in late 1990 it was completely renovated by the current owner, who transformed it into a prestigious residence, equipped with the latest technology and every comfort.
The main villa has two floors on top of the ground floor with beautiful porches. From the spacious entrance hall, an enclosed loggia with glass windows leads to the lounge, characterised by vaulted ceilings and a beautiful fireplace, a large kitchen with access to the panoramic terrace, a bathroom and a laundry room. On the upper floor, the sleeping area consists of a study, a master bedroom with frescoed ceiling, 3 bedrooms and two very large bathrooms. The three floors of the villa are connected not only by an internal staircase, but also by a modern lift.
The annex is furnished in the barn. On the ground floor there is a large garage and on the upper floor a flat consisting of a living room with kitchenette, a bedroom and a bathroom.
The 5-hectare park is fully fenced and planted with a beautiful pine forest and other ornamental plants. In the park there is a beautiful cellar carved in tuff, a wood-burning oven, two wells and a romantic walkway under the 15 concrete arches aligned in a north-south direction, with a large round table at the end surrounded by a likewise round bench of hand-hewn stone. A large garage has also been built on the site.
