luxury apartments / penthouses for sale Abruzzo, Italy

In the most authentic and monumental heart of the historical center of Vasto, within the historic Palazzo d'Avalos, we offer for sale a prestigious property of extraordinary historical, architectural and representative value. Among the most important urban feudal residences in the entire Abruzzo region, Palazzo d'Avalos perfectly embodies the Renaissance canons of the great Italian patrician residences. An ancient hub of the city's political, cultural and social life, the palace still retains the timeless charm of the most exclusive period residences. The property for sale includes two residential units that are part of the historic building called "Palazzo d'Avalos," with access from Piazza Lucio Valerio Pudente and Piazza del Popolo, in an absolutely unique location: overlooking the sea, reserved and at the same time very central, along the most prestigious route of the old town. The palace's 16th-century façade, embellished with elegant gable moldings, modillioned cornices and a majestic rusticated portal, introduces one to a context of absolute representation. Passing through the main portal, on which the historic coat of arms of the d'Avalos family stands out, one enters the scenic inner courtyard with an ancient majolica well and a large underground cistern, authentic evidence of the ancient prestige of the mansion. The monumental hallway, shared in part with the institutional entrances of the Pinacoteca Comunale, leads to the striking triple-ramp staircase, illuminated by the central porthole, architectural elements of great charm and rare elegance. The first real estate unit, located between the ground floor and the intermediate floor, has independent entrances both from Piazza Lucio Valerio Pudente and Piazza del Popolo. The rooms include an entrance hall, bathroom, kitchen, technical/boiler room and loft on the ground floor, as well as an additional room on the intermediate floor connected by an internal staircase. The distribution of spaces and independent accesses make this portion also ideal as a private annex, guest area, professional studio or service residence. The second unit, located on the main floor, represents the most prestigious heart of the property. The rooms are developed around a large reception hall and include an eat-in kitchen, living room, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, three storage rooms and a splendid panoramic terrace from which there is an extraordinary view of the Trabocchi Coast and the entire Gulf of Gold. An exclusive setting that gives the property a unique and unrepeatable character. The rooms, spacious and bright, preserve intact the original characteristics of the historic residence: fine vaulted ceilings, period architectural details, aristocratic atmospheres and rare glimpses of the Adriatic Sea and the rooftops of the historic center.
