Ancient Residence For Sale Erba Meriggi Villas In Brianza

Seven centuries of history: The Castelletti Fortress
It was born in the Low Middle Ages, a time when the residences of the Lords were not simple homes but true ”Fortified Houses”, in the ancient village of Mevate.
At that time the administrative and noble heart of Erba, the village saw the rise of this closed courtyard structure, typical of noble fortifications, at the behest of the powerful Castelletti family.
When not far away the Hermitage of San Salvatore was founded, the cradle of the Castelletti family was already a consolidated historical reality.
It is precisely during this period that the building began to shed its rigid defensive functions to adapt to a more noble lifestyle, reflecting the growing social prestige achieved by the family in the Ambrosian context.
With the advent of the illustrious families Sacchi and Biraghi, the aesthetic transformation is completed:
The severe Fortress is softened, becoming a noble residence according to the taste of Lombard Baroque.
Large bright windows are opened and the interiors are enriched with decorations and frescoes while the turret, from a defensive element, is transformed into a refined panoramic belvedere.
The property thus becomes a ”residence of delight” destined for aristocratic holidays.
Every corner today speaks of a glorious past, offering an atmosphere of rare suggestion.
The Hall on the ground floor:
A triumph of decorated ceilings framed by refined stuccos, a celebration of ”Baroque grace”.
The main staircase:
A scenic path where the trompe-l’œil frescoes simulate balconies open to blue skies, designed to amaze the guest who accessed the noble floors.
The garden and the lemon house at the front:
An elegant space with characteristic large panoramic windows overlooking the large garden.
The inner courtyard:
A space of great character defined by the loggia with stone columns and the original cobblestone pavement, enriched by an ancient well.

The vegetable garden at the back:
Private, historically dedicated to fruit trees, supported by stone walls that follow the natural slope of the land.
This residence awaits a new family today capable of grasping its immense potential.
Thanks to its spacious areas and the solidity of its structure, it lends itself to a conservative restoration that celebrates its past, bringing it back to the glory of a time, transforming it into a timeless residence in the heart of Brianza.
