HISTORICAL NOTES This majestic castle boasts a history that dates back to the roots in the Early Middle Ages and reaches up to the 20th century. Originally a fortification erected in the 8th century, it underwent significant transformations during the Renaissance. Its most radical transformation occurred in 1880, when it was purchased by Count Edward Cahen d'Anvers, who commissioned important and famous architects to rework the castle into a neo-Gothic manor. During the two world wars, it was abandoned, occupied by the Germans, looted, and fell into a state of total disrepair. Thanks to its purchase by a well-known entrepreneur in the 1980s, the castle was renovated and restored to its former splendor, which remains intact to this day. Over the centuries, the Castle has been frequented by illustrious figures, including Gabriele D'Annunzio and Pietro Ridolfi, who painted the Castle's frescoes. Among other illustrious figures, in the early 20th century,...

Apartment Bolsena (Italy)

In the medieval heart of Bolsena, in one of the most unique and elevated spots in the historic centre, stands this apartment of approximately 125 square metres spread over two floors. The property is the result of a complete renovation, carried out using a careful selection of refined materials, tastefully chosen to create a home with a sophisticated character. The original architecture of the village blends masterfully with a refined and eclectic interior design: the exposed stone walls, historic arches and ceilings with bleached wooden beams interact in perfect contrast with the depth of the dark wooden floorboards, with lighting that enhances the spaces and creates atmospheric scenes at every hour of the day. On the ground floor, there is a spacious open-plan area, a dining area and a contemporary-style kitchen. The rooms retain their historic charm without compromising on the latest living comforts. From this level, a striking spiral staircase leads to the upper floor, entirely dedicated to privacy and well-being. The first floor houses the master suite, featuring a private sitting room and a bedroom designed to offer a direct view of Lake Bolsena straight from the double bed. Adjacent to the bedroom is the bathroom, a generously proportioned space conceived as a true private spa, enhanced by a striking freestanding bath in the centre of the room and a large separate shower cubicle. The property’s location is exceptionally privileged. Whilst nestled in the tranquillity of the village, with panoramic views stretching from the terracotta rooftops to the crystal-clear waters of the lake, the residence is just a few minutes’ walk from the lively lakeside promenade, traditional restaurants and all the main amenities. The apartment is offered complete with high-quality furnishings and designer pieces that complement its aesthetic, which are negotiable separately. Due to its unique characteristics, the property represents an exceptional opportunity both as a prestigious pied-à-terre or main residence, and as a high-profile rental investment in a market, such as that of Bolsena, where the supply of properties of this quality and standard is structurally scarce.
