19th-Century Villa in Alessandria, Piedmont

Details

The exposed wooden beams and marble floors, alternating between gray and white tones and a black and white checkered pattern, immediately set the tone for this 1800s villa: a spacious, solid home, built to last and still capable of offering spaces full of character today. Natural light streams in through the windows and a skylight, enhancing spaces where the warmth of the wood harmonizes with brighter surfaces. Even some furnishing details, like the dark wood bookcase, suggest a cozy and naturally lived-in atmosphere. The 850 square meters of commercial space are distributed across 18 rooms, with 12 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms, in a layout that suggests a property designed to accommodate daily life with great ease, but also to entertain. The fireplace adds a domestic focal point to the interiors, while the tavern and cellar expand the home's usability, offering opportunities for convivial moments, storage, and well-defined service areas. Outside, the villa features exposed brick walls, detailed architectural finishes, and a red-tiled roof, fitting seamlessly into a rural setting. The private garden surrounds the property and is complemented by a gravel driveway leading to the entrance; the presence of a private inner courtyard adds an additional secluded, protected, and versatile space. The property is fenced, contributing to a tangible sense of privacy, while the tennis court completes the ensemble with a rare amenity, enhancing the enjoyment of the outdoor spaces. Days here can find a different rhythm between a stroll in the garden, a game of tennis, and returning home to the fireplace, with the feeling of always having space available without sacrificing intimacy. The size of the villa and the number of rooms lend themselves to an important private residence, but also suggest a potential for representation or hospitality, to be considered according to the needs of its inhabitants. Surrounding it, the landscape of cultivated fields and hills strengthens the connection with a more secluded and authentic Piedmont. This villa in Alessandria combines spaciousness, privacy, and a recognizable architectural presence, with both interior and exterior spaces that maintain a strong identity. In a tranquil and secluded setting, it represents a property of great breadth, suitable for those seeking a historic home capable of blending daily life, hospitality, and a direct relationship with the Piedmontese countryside.
