Tenuta La Tempestosa - Rome -
It was 1939 when architect Ettore Rossi, an authoritative representative of rationalism and rigorism, was commissioned by the family of Duce Benito Mussolini to design a private and exclusive villa where they could spend convivial moments immersed in the countryside just minutes from Rome: the Marcigliana hunting lodge.
The location on which to build the property was not chosen by chance: dominating the highest hill in the Marcigliana Reserve, known as Tenuta La Tempestosa, it boasts a breathtaking 360-degree panorama that ranges from the Terminillo mountains to the Castelli Romani, from the Tiber Valley to the Tolfa mountains and even, on particularly clear days, to the Argentario promontory, with the city of Rome and the dome of St. Peter's at its center.
The closed and open block of this isolated architecture seems to want to protect itself from the penetrating air and at the same time opens its walls to the extreme panorama on three sides, allowing light to penetrate the large windows.
The natural stone that characterizes the facades of the villa gives a sense of authenticity and the high ceilings provide a generous volume, from which to savour and dominate the entire surrounding valley.
The current development includes a main residence, entirely on the ground floor, comprising a majestic living room with fireplace, a large kitchen, two bedrooms, and two bathrooms. Next to it is a charming tower, which houses a small living area, a bathroom, and a charming bedroom on the upper floor.
On the north side of the villa, with independent access, there is a service apartment with a living area, bathroom and double bedroom.
The roof terrace, measuring approximately 300 square meters, can be furnished and used as much as the interior space, for unforgettable sunset photographs.
The property also includes a 100m2 outbuilding, requiring complete renovation, a panoramic swimming pool, and a tennis court.
There is the possibility of annexing 5 hectares of surrounding land.
We are located within the Marcigliana Regional Park, and safety is guaranteed by limited access, with two gates at the foot of the hill allowing access only to residents or authorized visitors.
This home is currently looking for its new owner, someone who understands the taste of authentic charm, who loves the silence of the countryside, but who wants the city of Rome no more than a 30-minute drive away.
