A Timeless Masterpiece of Art, History, and Architecture Barnes is proud to exclusively present Palazzo Viscontini, one of the most captivating historic residences in the Lazio region, located in the heart of Acquapendente. This sumptuous estate, commissioned in 1581 by Monsignor Antonio Viscontini and designed by the renowned architect Ippolito Scalza of Orvieto, is a masterpiece of late Renaissance architecture, impeccably preserved through the centuries. Set in a setting rich in history and charm, the palazzo spans a total surface area of over 3,000 sqm distributed over two levels. The main floor alone measures approximately 1,500 sqm and features seven magnificent bedrooms, each adorned with original architectural details, frescoed ceilings, unique decorative elements, and an atmosphere from another era. The property boasts seven bathrooms, five of which are en suite, and three kitchens that are seamlessly integrated into the historical context—ideal for a private residence or an elegant boutique hospitality project. The crown jewel of the palace is the ten frescoed salons, spectacular spaces where art blends with natural light in perfect harmony between elegance and legacy. Architecture and Façade The façade stands out with its imposing rusticated stonework on the ground floor, a rich plastic repertoire that anticipates the refined interiors. The main floor’s windows, adorned with pediments and architraves, reflect the solemnity of the building, while the upper floor features simpler yet harmonious openings. Above the main entrance, the Viscontini family coat of arms proudly remains—a noble emblem that continues to tell the story of the palace’s illustrious origins. The property is completed by 2,500 sqm of enchanting garden, a green outdoor space that offers a haven of peace and beauty. This garden is perfect for moments of relaxation, immersed in nature and the historic charm of the surrounding environment. Palazzo Viscontini is more than just a property: it is a journey through time, an ode to beauty, history, and the excellence of Italian architecture. A noble residence ready to write the next chapter in its remarkable story. For further information: Barnes International Realty

A Timeless Castle This is not a castle to visit. It is a place to take on, like one assumes a rare responsibility. Here, history is not a tale hung on the walls, but a silent presence governing the space. The tower still dominates the landscape as it did centuries ago, not out of ostentation but by nature: whoever controlled this point, controlled passage, time, the border. Today it controls something rarer: silence, privacy, authenticity. Set within the Natural Reserve of Monte Rufeno, along the invisible axis of the Via Francigena, this fortified complex has not been transformed: it has been preserved. The restoration respected both material and essence, conserving what cannot be replicated and intelligently adapting what the present requires. The result is a difficult balance to achieve: living history, not museum-like. The property suits those seeking an identity residence, but also those who can appreciate the value of a rare asset, already ready, capable of generating experience before income. Elite hospitality, private events, exclusive retreats: everything happens without force, because the place sets the rules. Here, luxury is not added, it is a consequence. One does not enter to impress. One enters to stay. An opportunity that does not seek visibility, but vision.

This exceptional property lies at the meeting point of northern Lazio, Umbria, and Tuscany — an area steeped in history, culture, and natural beauty. It is set within the famous Parco dei Calanchi, known for its dramatic landscapes and timeless charm. The estate includes a beautifully renovated manor house (approx. 1,200 sq.m.) approximately 15 hectares of land with olive trees, plus a 500 sq.m. building and outbuildings needing renovation. Originally built in the Middle Ages as a military outpost controlling the valley, the estate was later transformed into a noble residence. Over time, a small private chapel was added, along with a spacious annex of approximately 500 sq.m. (to renovate), divided into apartments for workers, and complemented by old stables and storage spaces of around 150 sq.m. The main building stands on the foundations of an ancient Roman watchtower. It was constructed in two stages — the first, including the tower itself, around 850 AD, and the second in the 12th century. During the medieval period, it served as a military garrison overlooking the valley, before evolving into an elegant manor house. The property is reached via a charming driveway that winds through a park filled with centuries-old trees and a variety of mature plants. At the end of the drive, a large courtyard opens before the main residence which is approx. 1,200 sq.m. The manor has been completely restored, preserving as many original features as possible and using carefully selected period materials to maintain its authentic character. On the ground floor, a grand entrance hall leads to two bright conservatories, a spacious double reception room, a guest bathroom, a cosy TV room, a double dining room, a kitchen, and a pantry. There is also a small wine cellar where the original medieval urns are still visible, as well as two storage rooms. Space has also been prepared for an elevator that can serve all floors up to the third level. The first floor offers four double bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom, a welcoming reception room, a library, a small laundry room, and two panoramic terraces. The second floor features a large study, three additional double bedrooms with private bathrooms, two storerooms, a billiard room, a small sitting room, and, within the tower, an impressive reception room with stunning views over the valley. From this tower room, an ancient stone staircase leads to a mezzanine and a panoramic terrace overlooking the park and surrounding countryside. Outside, two large terraces — about 250 sq.m. in total — provide ideal spaces for entertaining and relaxation. The manor is equipped with six LPG boilers (two per floor) for heating, along with two antique terracotta wood-burning stoves and six historic fireplaces. All doors are original antiques, as are the wooden beamed ceilings and traditional terracotta floor tiles. Built-in wardrobes have been crafted from genuine 16th- and 17th-century cabinetry. Flooring on the ground level is mainly basalt stone, except for the TV room, pantry, and bathroom, which feature terracotta tiles, and one of the conservatories, which is paved in cobblestone. The second floor, including the master bedroom, showcases antique parquet, while the bathrooms are finished in stone. The third floor and tower display an elegant mix of these traditional materials, enhancing the manor's timeless atmosphere. An above ground swimming pool has recently been installed.
