Property with pool and garden Brisighella (Italy)

A Historic Wine Estate with Agriturismo in the Hills of Brisighella Located among the first hills of Brisighella, surrounded by its own vineyards and overlooking the Lamone valley, this historic estate combines a restored agriturismo, a private residence and a working winery within a landscape deeply connected to the identity of the territory. The property extends across approximately 560 sqm of total surface, including the main building and annexes, and is set within 7 hectares of owned and rented land, characterised by vineyards, fruit trees and open views across the surrounding hills. Outdoor spaces and areas designed for shared moments allow for a lifestyle that moves naturally between indoor living and the landscape, where evenings can be spent overlooking the vines with a glass of wine produced directly on the estate. The Main Building The complex, originally built from the 13th century around the church of San Nicola, has been carefully restored over time and today hosts both a private residence and an established agriturismo. The main building measures approximately 498 sq.m. and is organised into a private apartment and hospitality spaces. A defining characteristic of the interiors is the balance between tradition and contemporary living: while the external architecture preserves its historic identity, the interior spaces have been interpreted with a more modern approach, creating a refined contrast that enhances both elements without compromising the authenticity of the property. Ground Floor: The ground floor hosts both the private residence and part of the hospitality areas, organised around a clear and functional layout. The main guest entrance opens into a shared entrance hall. From here, directly ahead lies the former deconsecrated church, now used as the main dining and breakfast area, which also benefits from its own independent external access. The adjacent sacristy functions as a back-of-house space supporting the culinary activities and is directly connected to the kitchen of the private residence. To the right of the entrance hall, near the laundry area serving the private residence, the layout unfolds into the independent guest apartment. This unit benefits from its own separate external entrance and is composed of a living and dining area with kitchenette, together with a bedroom and bathroom. The private apartment has its own independent entrance and opens into a living room. To one side, there is an additional living space currently used as a study, while on the opposite side the layout unfolds into the kitchen and dining area with fireplace, directly connected to the former sacristy. The private apartment also includes a laundry area, accessible via the shared entrance hall of the B&B and benefits from a private cellar located on the basement level. First Floor: The first floor is divided between the private residence and the guest accommodation, maintaining a clear functional separation between the two areas. The private residence, through a staircase that leads from the living room to the sleeping area, opens into a spacious and multifunctional room that leads to the master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, creating a more intimate and self-contained living space. On the hospitality side, access is via the entrance hall, from which a few steps lead to the upper level. Here, a living area with bathroom serves as a shared space for guests before opening into the sleeping quarters. From this space, the layout unfolds into two separate double bedrooms, both with private bathrooms. From the shared living area, a stunning metal staircase leads up to a mezzanine level hosting a spacious library, designed as a quiet and inviting space where guests can read and relax. The restoration and upgrading of the property were carried out in two distinct phases: the hospitality areas were completed in 2014, followed by the private residence in 2016. The structural intervention included reinforced foundations, perimeter ring beams and ventilated foundations, ensuring both stability and long-term durability, while preserving the original character of the buildings. The Annex The property also includes a separate dependance of 62 sq.m., which has been converted into an additional independent apartment: a charming studio apartment with a living area with kitchenette, a bedroom and a bathroom. The Winery A defining feature of the estate is the underground winery, built in 2019 and designed to both preserve the beautiful surrounding landscape and maintain natural temperature and humidity conditions throughout the year. The winery measures approximately 155 sq.m., comprising a 112 sq.m. production area together with an additional 43 sq.m. space currently used for tasting and guest use, including a bathroom. The layout includes a production area, a barrique room and technical spaces, offering the possibility to continue or further develop a wine production under a dedicated label, with an estimated capacity of up to 15,000 bottles per year. The property is served by mains water together with a phreatic well, ensuring a reliable water supply. The house is fully electric, with no gas connection, and features underfloor heating, together with air conditioning in the bedrooms. There is currently no photovoltaic system installed, although there is the potential to introduce one, subject to the necessary approvals. Additional features include a security alarm system, irrigation system, wooden window frames with double glazing and traditional shutters. The Land The estate extends over approximately 2 hectares of private land plus another 5 hectares that they have taken for rent, primarily dedicated to vineyards and agricultural land. The soil composition, together with the proximity to the Lamone river and the natural temperature variations, creates favourable conditions for viticulture. The vineyards are planted with local grape varieties such as Sangiovese, Trebbiano and Albana, alongside a small presence of Chenin Blanc in selected areas of the property. Outdoor spaces are designed to be lived and experienced, opening onto the surrounding landscape and allowing for moments that move naturally between the vineyard and the living areas. The layout of the land lends itself to hosting informal gatherings directly among the vines, from simple picnics to more structured outdoor dining setups, offering the possibility to experience the estate at sunset, immersed in the vineyard and the surrounding nature. The land also includes fruit trees and a vegetable garden, reinforcing the property’s strong connection to a self-sustained and authentic rural lifestyle. A swimming pool (12 x 3,5 meter), built above ground and removable, is located in front of the vineyard. The Location The estate is located on the first hills of Brisighella, an ancient medieval and thermal village set in the Lamone Valley, between Florence and Ravenna. Recognised among I Borghi più belli d’Italia and awarded distinctions such as the Touring Club’s Bandiera Arancione, Brisighella offers a rare balance between authenticity, quality of life and accessibility. The village is defined by its distinctive skyline of three rocky pinnacles ( the Rocca Manfrediana, the Sanctuary of Monticino and the Clock Tower), shaping a landscape deeply rooted in its past. The atmosphere is quiet and genuine, where stone paths, historic architecture and cultivated hills create a setting that feels preserved rather than staged. The area is strongly connected to its enogastronomic identity, with olive oil, wine and local produce forming an integral part of everyday life. The surrounding countryside, with its vineyards and walking paths, offers a landscape that can be experienced throughout the year, both actively and at a slower pace. The estate itself is within walking distance of the village centre, while the nearby railway station provides direct connections, including routes towards Florence, offering both convenience and long-term value for hospitality use. EPC Rating: ordered Why Buy It This property offers a rare opportunity to acquire a fully integrated estate where hospitality, private living and wine production coexist within a single, coherent setting. The presence of an established agriturismo, together with vineyards and a fully equipped underground winery, allows for the continuation or further development of a vitivinicultural and hospitality project, with activities such as tastings, cooking classes, foraging and small-scale dining naturally aligned with the character of the estate. At the same time, the configuration of the buildings offers a high degree of flexibility, making it possible to maintain a clear separation between private and guest areas or to convert the property into a fully private residence without significant structural intervention. The combination of a walkable location near Brisighella, strong enogastronomic identity, production potential and year-round appeal makes this estate not only a place to live, but a long-term asset capable of generating both lifestyle value and sustainable income.

For those who seek the perfect fusion of timeless elegance and modern comfort, this 17th-century estate nestled in the rolling hills of Emilia-Romagna is an exquisite sanctuary like no other. Comprising a stately villa, a dependance with both indoor and outdoor pools, and approximately 10 hectares of parkland adorned with vineyards and olive groves, this property is the very embodiment of Italian artistry. The creation of a visionary mind, this estate is an ode to Italico estro—that uniquely Italian creative flair—offering a transcendent journey through time, from the Roman era to the present day. Every salon, corridor, bedroom and bath whispers stories of a millenary past that comes alive within these walls. The estate is composed of the main villa, a dedicated wellness dependance, and an additional annex whose future purpose awaits the discerning eye of its next custodian. With every detail curated to captivate the senses—light, space, texture, scent—the villa offers not just a place to live, but a way of life. Here, one might begin the day with sweeping vineyard views and end it in the steamy calm of a Turkish bath, all within the sanctuary of one’s own home. The Villa Painstakingly restored over several years, the 17th-century villa has been reborn through a relentless pursuit of excellence. Every choice—be it handcrafted terracotta flooring, fine marbles, noble woods, or intricate mosaics—was guided by the highest standards. Contemporary artists were commissioned to adorn the interiors with frescoes and bespoke finishes, weaving the past and present into a living masterpiece. The main residence, including its luxurious dependance, spans approximately 1.900 sq.m. across three levels: Ground Floor: The villa enjoys three separate entrances and a flowing layout that elegantly connects its internal spaces: an expansive living room with adjoining dining area, a fully equipped kitchen opening onto a loggia with an outdoor dining area and built-in barbecue, a cloakroom, laundry room, guest WC, a second bathroom with shower, a double bedroom, a cosy sitting room, and a secondary kitchen. First Floor: Accessed via three separate staircases, the upper level features an extraordinary master suite complete with walk-in wardrobe, a bathroom with whirlpool tub and shower, and access to a panoramic terrace.

The living areas here boast a stylish bar, a fully equipped gym, sauna and Turkish bath—creating an indulgent wellness retreat within the home. Water, as a symbolic and literal element, pervades the estate—echoing the site’s ancient past, where Roman consular baths once stood along the historic road.

A splendid 130 sq.m. mosaic-tiled swimming pool lies at the heart of the grounds, bordered by a generous sun deck furnished with loungers and parasols.

Property with garden Zocca (Italy)

A Restored Hamlet of Distinction in the Hills of Emilia Romagna Nestled amidst the undulating landscapes of the Bolognese Apennines, just a few kilometres from the charming town of Zocca in the Province of Modena, this captivating luxury relais represents a rare opportunity within the high-end property market of Emilia Romagna. Comprising 2 exquisitely restored buildings and set within just under 5 hectares of private land, the estate enjoys an enviable position in a territory once marked by medieval castles and historic battles between Modena and Bologna. Today, that storied past lingers only in the romantic silhouettes of ancient fortifications crowning distant hilltops. Immersed in unspoilt nature and embraced by sweeping views across the rolling Bolognese hills, the property offers an atmosphere of serenity and refinement throughout the year. The air is pure, the silence restorative, broken only by the gentle rhythm of the seasons. This is a place where luxury is defined not merely by architectural excellence, but by space, privacy and the privilege of living within a landscape of extraordinary beauty. The Main Building Extending to approximately 540 sq.m. over three floors, the principal farmhouse was completed in 2020 and reconstructed in accordance with the most advanced anti-seismic regulations. The project achieves a masterful balance between conservation and innovation: the architectural language respects the rural heritage of the original structure, while introducing contemporary elements such as expansive windows and a striking modern metal staircase. The result is a harmonious dialogue between past and present, perfectly integrated into the magnificent natural surroundings. Ground Floor: The ground floor, distinguished by multiple French doors opening directly onto the external terracing, hosts a vast multifunctional hall ideally suited to conversion into a refined restaurant dining room. The space is complemented by two guest WCs, one of which is fully accessible for disabled visitors. Adjacent lies a dedicated area of approximately 30 sq.m., fully prepared for the installation of a professional kitchen. While conceived for hospitality purposes, this level could equally be reimagined as an impressive private living space for a large family seeking generous open-plan interiors. Completing the floor is a self-contained apartment with independent external access, comprising an open-plan living room with kitchen and dining area, one bedroom and a bathroom. This unit lends itself to multiple uses: accommodation for service staff, housing for restaurant personnel, or an additional income-generating apartment alongside the six units located in the second building. First Floor: An imposing architectural metal staircase leads to the first floor, where the private quarters unfold. A breathtaking double-height living area of approximately 100 sq.m. opens before you, incorporating lounge, dining space and provision for a further kitchen installation (systems already in place). Spectacular panoramic windows frame uninterrupted views across the surrounding hills, flooding the interior with natural light. A corridor leads to 2 bedrooms, each with en-suite bathroom, as well as an additional guest bathroom. Second Floor Attic: Ascending the monumental staircase once more, the second floor accommodates a further room, currently fitted out as a third bedroom with its own private bathroom. The building is equipped with underfloor heating powered by a heat pump, with provisions in place for air-conditioning units in the principal rooms. Additional features include mechanical ventilation, a desalinated water system, alarm installation, and latest-generation aluminium window frames fitted with mosquito screens and internal blackout blinds. The structure is fully insulated and entirely anti-seismic. Environmental sustainability has been central to the project: a photovoltaic system of 50 panels generates approximately 15 kW of electricity for the residence, complemented by three additional panels dedicated to domestic hot water production. The estate therefore ensures minimal environmental impact alongside maximum energy efficiency. The Annex The second building is a historic farmhouse of approximately 370 sq.m., meticulously restored during the same period. Every brick and roof tile has been carefully recovered, restored and reintegrated, while the structure itself has been rendered fully anti-seismic. The interior is characterised by a superb designer metal staircase which welcomes guests and leads to 5 of the 6 apartments composing the building. On the ground floor are 2 fully equipped apartments, each comprising kitchenette, dining and living area, double bedroom and bathroom. The technical room, accessible externally, completes this level. The internal staircase leads to the first floor, where a third apartmentcurrently used as a suiteis located. The second floor houses the fourth and fifth apartments, both configured as spacious suites with the potential to create independent kitchen areas and fully autonomous living spaces. Also on the first floor, with private external access, lies the sixth and most spacious apartment. Entered through an inviting portico, it comprises an open-plan dining room with kitchen and sitting area, a double bedroom with en-suite bathroom, and an additional storage room. This remarkable piece of architectural heritage is served by an external boiler feeding traditional radiators. The interiors combine fine materials with refined contemporary design details, reflecting the owners’ passion for modern aesthetics seamlessly integrated within a historic shell. The Land The estate is surrounded by 48.298 sq.m. of agricultural land, entirely encircling the property and ensuring privacy, openness and extraordinary potential. The generous grounds provide ample space for the creation of a magnificent infinity swimming pool overlooking the breathtaking panorama. A series of external terraces offer idyllic settings for al fresco aperitifs, sunset dinners and moments of relaxation shared with family and friends, immersed in the tranquillity of the Emilian countryside. The Location Situated in the hills near Zocca, south of Modena, the property occupies a strategic yet peaceful position within one of the most evocative areas of Emilia Romagna. The surrounding hamlets, rich in medieval castles and fortresses, form part of the renowned Unione Terre di Castelli, a territory celebrated for its cultural heritage and scenic beauty. Despite its secluded ambience, the estate benefits from convenient access to Bologna Airport, the A1 motorway and major railway connections, making it easily reachable for both Italian and international travellers. The region is equally famed for its culinary excellence: from traditional handmade pasta to the celebrated crescentina, also known as tigella, a local bread emblematic of convivial gatherings and authentic Emilian hospitality. EPC : Ordered Why Buy It To reside here is to embrace a lifestyle defined by tranquillity, nature and refinement, without renouncing proximity to vibrant cities, cultural landmarks and gastronomic excellence. The property offers remarkable versatility: it may be developed as an exclusive boutique hotel or luxury relais, capitalising on the region’s strong tourism appeal, or enjoyed as an expansive private residence with independent guest accommodation, ensuring privacy for family and visitors alike. This is a rare investment opportunity within Emilia Romagna’s prestigious property market, offering substantial development potential. An additional building volumedivisible into two future structuresmay be realised should expansion of the hamlet be desired. An exclusive retreat for those who seek authenticity, elegance and strategic connectivity in equal measure, this estate embodies the very essence of refined Italian living.
