Villa Mandella: Un Capolavoro Storico A Isola Rizza

If you are looking for something more than just a house, but a place that can tell four centuries of history, stop here. Villa Mandella was built in 1594 by the will of Cav. Andrea Mandelli. Since then, it has witnessed eras, noble families, and crucial historical events. In 1796, it was occupied by Napoleon’s troops during the campaign in the Venetian lands. In 1813, it became the property of the noble Girolamo Maffei. In the twentieth century, it underwent an important conservation restoration commissioned by the Seren family, who preserved its soul and prestige. Notable figures such as Benito Mussolini, Gabriele D’Annunzio, and in 1956, Maria Callas, have stayed within these walls. It is not just a villa: it is an authentic piece of Venetian history. The property spans three levels and impresses from the entrance with its spacious and representative rooms. On the ground floor, there is a grand entrance hall, a large kitchen, a dining room with a fireplace, a living room, and a study, both enhanced by traditional fireplaces. There are two bathrooms, two laundry rooms, and marble floors that reinforce the noble character of the spaces. The first floor is dedicated to the sleeping and reception areas: a large lounge with a fireplace, a master suite with a private sitting room and fireplace, three other generously sized bedrooms, and two full bathrooms. The herringbone parquet laid in the Italian style, ceiling stuccoes, and elegantly finished interior doors reflect the refinement of the era. On the second floor, a large space with remarkable ceiling heights offers further potential: new bedrooms, event area, professional studio, guest zone. Here, you can truly shape the rooms to your needs. The villa is ready to live in immediately, with functioning systems, including heating. Its large size also allows for possible division into multiple units, making it interesting not only as a private residence but also as a development project. Outside, a large plot surrounds the property, with accessory buildings to be renovated that can be used as warehouses or stables, and two paddocks perfect for horse lovers or those who want to experience the countryside authentically. We are in the tranquility of Isola Rizza, about 30 km from Verona: the privilege of peace without giving up proximity to the city. This is not just a real estate opportunity. It is the chance to become the guardian of a historic residence unique in the Venetian landscape. If you want to see it in person and breathe its atmosphere, contact us to arrange a private visit.
