Château Médiéval Du XII Ie Siècle : élégance Et Histoire Dans Une Forteresse Restaurée

This impressive castle is nestled in the green landscapes of Alta Tuscia, between Lazio, Umbria, and Tuscany. Recently restored, it stands as one of the best-preserved medieval fortifications in Italy, with significant historical and architectural importance. Its location offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the surrounding countryside.

With an internal area of 5,000 sqm spread across 5 levels and 1,000 sqm of well-maintained private garden, the property boasts 35 rooms, 15 bathrooms (some with whirlpool baths), and a garage, providing a unique opportunity to live history in an exclusive setting.

The castle’s history dates back to the Middle Ages when it was built as a towered fortress and later became the stronghold of the Monaldeschi della Cervara family. Over the centuries, the castle underwent several transformations.
In the 16th century, under the guidance of Sforza Monaldeschi, it was converted into a Renaissance residence. However, it was in the 19th century that the castle reached its current configuration, when it was acquired by Count Edoardo Cahen d’Anvers. He commissioned major restoration and expansion works, entrusting them to architect Giuseppe Partini and French gardeners Henri and Achille Duchêne, who also designed the garden that continues to enhance the castle’s charm today.

The 19th-century transformations reinterpreted the medieval architecture, enriching it with new elements and refined internal decorations, now renowned for their artistic and craftsmanship value. The Castle of Torre Alfina, thanks to its blend of history, art, and nature, stands as a unique jewel in the landscape of historic residences in Italy.

Torre Alfina is a small medieval village, part of the municipality of Acquapendente in the province of Viterbo, located on the northern edge of the Alfina plateau. It is renowned for its impressive castle, a historic residence of great value. The village is characterized by narrow streets and stone houses surrounding the castle, offering a picturesque view of the surrounding valley.
