Magnificent 17th Century Historic Villa In Sasso Marconi

Villa La Quiete di Mezzana, dating back to the second half of the 17th century and historically owned by various noble families, spans over 1280 square meters across four levels. Set in an ancient park lined with a pathway of monumental chestnut trees, the villa is renowned for its refined architectural style and artistic details that reflect its aristocratic character. The villa is symmetrically arranged over two main floors, featuring large reception halls, loggias, and an elegant staircase. It is adorned with Venetian terrazzo floors and ceilings embellished with medallions and allegorical paintings attributed to the Bolognese artists Vincenzo Martinelli and Pietro Fancelli.
Among its most distinctive features are the neogothic English-inspired wood paneling and furnishings of the dining room, commissioned by Professor Neri, a famous medical neurology expert and former owner of the villa who completely restored it, repairing all wartime damage. On the ground floor, a spacious central loggia opens to various rooms, including a grand hall with direct access to the garden, seven reception rooms, a kitchen, and two bathrooms. A large hall with over 12-meter-high ceilings, highlighted by a monumental stone fireplace, hosts a magnificent staircase leading to the piano nobile. Here, a second living room with a central rose window, six bedrooms, and two elegant bathrooms can be found. One of the bedrooms is enhanced with paintings depicting pastoral scenes, while the preserved bathroom contains a period bathtub with original English fittings. The staircase continues to the turret, where there is an attic and additional rooms. The building also includes a basement used as a cellar, icehouse, and service areas.
The interiors are enriched by neoclassical wall and ceiling decorations, Venetian terrazzo flooring, and an impressive clock above the main staircase. The allure of the complex extends to the exterior, where an ancient park of over one hectare, with willows, magnolias, and cedars, surrounds the villa, creating an atmosphere of harmony and grandeur. Numerous parking spaces are available on the property. Villa La Quiete di Mezzana is a unique residence for its beauty, grandeur, and historical value, ideal as a prestigious residence or as a representative location for companies or hospitality structures.
