Property Description

Property Summary

Nestled in the rolling hills near Castel San Pietro Terme, in the heart of Italy, Villa Santa Maria Maddalena is an extraordinary vacation rental that seamlessly blends centuries of history with refined contemporary living. This meticulously restored historic villa was originally part of the Santa Maria Assunta alla Cappella church complex, dating back to 1366, and encompasses a former rectory, sacristy, and deconsecrated chapel. Every detail of the renovation has been carried out with exceptional care, preserving original frescoes and handcrafted finishes while introducing all the comforts of modern luxury. The property is fully fenced and extends across 8,400 sq m of beautifully landscaped grounds in an elevated position, offering sweeping panoramic views over the vineyards of the Palazzo di Varignana estate. A private parking area accommodates up to 7 cars, accessed through a wrought-iron entrance gate along the driveway. The villa benefits from high-speed Wi-Fi connectivity throughout, and a dedicated tennis court is available as part of the estate's nearby facilities, with guests enjoying discounted access to the Palazzo di Varignana estate's spa, sports courts, and wine experiences, all located within 2 km of the property.

Outdoors

The outdoor spaces of Villa Santa Maria Maddalena are as impressive as the interior, offering a seamless connection between the historic architecture and the natural landscape that surrounds it. A paved terrace wraps around the villa and features a shaded al fresco dining area complete with a table, chairs, and umbrella, making it an ideal setting for leisurely meals in the open air. The garden is planted with olive trees, hedges, shrubs, and seasonal flowers, creating a lush and tranquil environment throughout the warmer months. Paved walkways connect the chapel entrance, garden paths, and pool area, ensuring easy and elegant circulation across the grounds. Please note that photographs of the garden were taken in spring, so the appearance of the flowers and grass may vary depending on the time of your arrival.

Approximately 50 m below the villa, reached via a paved ramp or a lawn pathway, lies the pool area, which features 2 adjoining rectangular pools. The main pool measures 5.90 x 10 m with a constant depth of 1.39 m, while the adjoining hydromassage pool measures 3.20 x 5.90 m with a depth of 1 m. Both pools are lined in renolit and purified with chlorine. The pool area is enclosed by a gate and is equipped with a stone-paved solarium, umbrellas, sunbeds, and 2 outdoor showers. The pools are open from the last Saturday in April to the first Saturday in October.
