Casa 10 quartos, 2400 m²

Prata d'Ansidonia, L'Aquila (província)

Ref. GRE369 - Prata d'Ansidonia - San Nicandro: In a quiet yet popular area, about 20 minutes from L'Aquila, we are delighted to offer for sale a historic building that dates from the 1500s and has been completely renovated to the very highest standard in 2022, and has its own internal church.
The building has ancient origins and was owned by several families of Barons. Originally it was a castle, of which only the external arches used in 1300 as a military stronghold remain, but over the centuries and with the changing needs of the families, the palazzo was transformed into a restaurant, wedding and event venue.
Through an internal window of the palazzo it is possible to look inside the church of the Madonna del Carmine, while in the center of the building there is a fantastic internal courtyard from where it is possible to access the caves and huge cellars, some of which were once useful as escape routes for the people living there.

The building has a number of rooms where the frescoes have been painstakingly restored, and there are at least 10 bedrooms and bathrooms, and throughout there are original and characteristic elements that have remained. As it was previously used as a restaurant with accommodation, there is a huge cross vaulted event space as well as a loggia room with exposed wooden ceiling and a professional kitchen space. The building has underfloor heating and there is a space where an elevator can be installed.
The solution is completed by a 20,000 sq m garden with two water sources, a truffle area, fruit trees, aged pines and a formal hedge garden.

Ideal for use as a boutique hotel, restaurant or wedding venue, especially with the presence of the on site church, and extensive gardens.
