In the picturesque village of Torre Alfina, a jewel nestled in the province of Viterbo, stands a monument of incomparable beauty and history: a medieval castle spanning 5000 sqm of interiors (53819 sqft) spread over 5 levels, and 1000 sqm (10,764 sqft) of lush private garden. This majestic castle boasts a history that traces its roots back to the early Middle Ages and extends up to the 20th century, reflecting the evolving architectural trends and socio-historical changes it has undergone. Originally a high medieval fortification of the Monaldeschi della Cervara family erected in the 8th century, it underwent significant transformations under Sforza Monaldeschi during the Renaissance.

This wonderful property offers 35 rooms. The ground floor of the castle features an imposing gallery adorned with frescoed walls, vaulted ceilings with inlaid wood, statues, and marble floors. Here, through large windows with full arch frames, one can enjoy an expansive view of the village below and the green Lazio countryside. The upper floor, the piano nobile, consists of a spacious and scenic gallery, more than 10 rooms, a dining room, several reception rooms, and a library with wooden floors. The second floor houses the attic spaces, almost entirely made up of a sleeping area with several bedrooms, along with spaces that include attic rooms, closets, and storage rooms. The interiors of the five towers house beautiful rooms with panoramic views. The Renaissance garden, with its panoramic view, is a true oasis. The fountain with its water features and the geometric designs of the flower beds and hedges create a landscape where nature and art blend in perfect harmony. This fortress represents a unique experience immersed in a rich and fascinating history, a one-of-a-kind masterpiece.
