luxury real estate for sale Pereto, Italy

On a hill in the picturesque San Polo dei Cavalieri, a few kilometers from Rome, a splendid 10th-century castle is for sale, a true monument of history and architecture. The residence initially belonged to the Knights of the Sovereign Order of Malta and later became part of the Roman monastery of Saint Paul Outside the Walls. Only in the 12th century did the castle take the name of San Polo dei Cavalieri and become an important strategic point at the crossroads of the Sabina and Aniene valleys, attracting the interest of the feudal lords of Marcellina, Palombara Sabina, Montecelio, Tivoli, and the Abbey of Saint Paul. In the second half of the 14th century, the estate passed to the noble Orsini family, who transformed it into a powerful family fortress. In 1558, the Orsinis sold the castle to the Cesi dynasty, who used it as an elegant summer residence, where members of the aristocracy often gathered. It was here, in 1603, under the patronage of Federico Cesi, that the Accademia dei Lincei was founded, one of the first academies of science in Europe, where Galileo Galilei himself was a guest. After the plague epidemic of 1656, the castle passed to the Borghese family and subsequently became part of the Papal State during the unification of Italy. Today, this magnificent castle, with a surface area of approximately 2,000 square meters, presents itself to our eyes after a careful restoration, carried out with extreme attention to detail and using noble materials. The interiors include sumptuous halls and dining rooms decorated with ancient frescoes and large windows offering breathtaking views. The residence also includes, within the castle, an elevator, a private chapel, a stone cellar, seven spacious bedrooms with bathrooms, majestic period fireplaces, and terraces measuring approximately 360 square meters, including a panoramic terrace and a rooftop terrace with 360-degree views of the surrounding green hills. This offering represents a unique opportunity to purchase an authentic architectural masterpiece steeped in history, located near the Eternal City.
