This elegant country villa is a masterpiece of contemporary architecture that evokes the rigorous aesthetic of Richard Meier, where white surfaces and light become primary constructive elements.
Bold transparencies enhance the natural light, inviting a continuous dialogue with the Umbrian landscape. Designed by a New Zealand architect trained in the Meierian tradition, the project plays with solids and voids through floor-to-ceiling glass walls that seamlessly blur the boundaries between indoors and out. The use of white and local limestone amplifies the vibrant colors of nature, creating an atmosphere of rare beauty.
Perched in a dominant position overlooking the Alviano Lake Nature Reserve, the villa (315 sqm) features most exquisite materials laid on an H-shaped floor plan designed to embrace the panoramic views. The upper level offers a grand double reception room with a fireplace, a spacious kitchen, and three bedrooms - including an independent guest suite with its own fireplace - and four bathrooms, all framed by private porches and terraces. A light-filled internal staircase, set beneath a large skylight, leads to the lower level, which hosts a Finnish sauna, technical rooms, and a 44 sqm garage.
Outside, the swimming pool and solarium overlook the stunning lake panorama, immersed in 5 hectares of private grounds featuring rose gardens, lavender, and a productive olive grove.
This unique property offers a strategic and pristine location, just minutes from Orvieto and only 90 km from Rome.
Located in the tranquil town of Alviano, this luxury property offers a serene lifestyle amidst the scenic Umbrian countryside. The area is well-connected, with easy access to major highways. Nearby, you can explore nature reserves like Lago di Alviano or indulge in local Italian dining experiences. The historic towns of Orvieto and Todi are within driving distance, providing cultural excursions and shopping. Rome’s amenities are accessible within 90 minutes by car.
Rome, the eternal city, has been attracting visitors for two millennia but it is still one of the most exhilarating
Rome, the eternal city, has been attracting visitors for two millennia but it is still one of the most exhilarating and romantic destinations in the world. Italy Sotheby’s International Realty offers its international and local clientele a wide selection of luxury properties in Rome, on Capri Island as well as on that beautiful coast of rugged cliffs and sandy coves that is known as Amalfi Coast. Located inside the renowned Palazzo Odescalchi, whose facade was originally designed by Gian Lorenzo Bernini in 1665, and just across the street from Palazzo Colonna, the office is conveniently positioned to offer the right properties catering to individual client needs. Its competent, multi-lingual staff members are delighted to introduce their clients to the marvels of high-end property in some of Italy’s most enchanting destinations. With the purpose of confirming Italy Sotheby’s International Realty’s vocation for hospitality and the quality of living spaces, it has opened two showrooms, in Milan and Rome. Two spaces designed to welcome guests in a private setting, characterized by pieces of furniture that have made the history of Italian design.
Lo Rome showroom is located in the heart of Roma in Via Fontanella di Borghese , a few steps from Trinità dei Monti and Via dei Condotti. The project of the new space, composed of four different rooms, was born in collaboration with the Giustini/Stagetti Gallery, which for over ten years has based its research on 20th-century Italian design and international contemporary design.
