Location
This beautiful and characteristic property is located a few hundred meters from Lake Albano and enjoys a magnificent panoramic view of the lake itself. Lake Albano (in Latin: Lacus Albanus), also known by the improper names of Lake Castel Gandolfo or Lake Albano, is the deepest volcanic lake in Italy (168 m), located in the province of Rome in the Castelli Romani region, on the Alban hills. The rowing competitions of the Rome 1960 Olympics took place on this lake. The nearest and best-connected town is Castel Gandolfo, on whose territory most of the lake's shores are located. Inhabited since the 10th century, it belonged to the Genoese family of Gandolfi, the Savelli, and finally, since 1596, to the Apostolic Chamber, or immediate subject of the Holy See. Pope Urban VIII was the first to vacation there, having Charles Maderno build the first core of the papal palace. After a period of abandonment following the end of temporal power, in 1929, the Papal Villas of Castel Gandolfo were recognized by the Italian State as an extraterritorial area of the Holy See, a status they still maintain today. Within the perimeter of the Villas are the Specola Vaticana (the astronomical observatory located above the Papal Palace, whose white domes are also visible from the lake) and the ruins of the residential part of the great Alban villa of Domitian.

Description
It is worth highlighting the Villa Padronale, arranged over three levels, characterized by large representations, rooms with bathrooms, service areas, high-quality finishes, an elevator, wood paneling, Sanderson linen walls, and precious velvets; the wood paneling is made of pine, a very fine wood, crafted by highly skilled cabinetmakers who took a year to complete it at that time; there is also a winter garden, terraces, and balconies. The view towards the lake is magnificent, and privacy is total. A beautiful summer residence of high representation that can accommodate many people and organize fantastic receptions. The property consists of three other independent villas, located in the park, the first of about 150 square meters, the second of about 160 square meters, the third of about 260 square meters. And divided into mini-apartments. Two outbuildings, the first overlooking the main villa and the beautiful pool, the second in the park, as well as a greenhouse of about 100 square meters, complete this magnificent property.

Outdoor Spaces
Access to the property is through an imposing private gate and a tree-lined avenue. Three other entrances, located around the perimeter of the park, allow access to the interior of the property. The park, of about three hectares with large trees, rose gardens, and magnolias, overlooks Lake Albano and surrounds the buildings. A beautiful pool, with a view of the lake, well integrated into the landscape, is located next to the villa.

Potential Use
This prestigious real estate property, which requires maintenance work for the main villa and renovation of the other buildings, can once again become one of the most important residences on Lake Albano, for very discerning clients who want to spend unforgettable moments during the summer or even as a prestigious primary residence, having already been inhabited for a long time by
