Villa Castagnola is named after its original owners, a family of noble bankers, and was built at the beginning of the last century.
The Castagnola family, originally from Sori, moved to Genoa around 1340 and later to La Spezia.
The presence of this historic dynasty in the territory of La Spezia is documented as early as 1450, evidenced by several palaces and villas bearing their name. Subsequently, the villa passed to the Quaglia family, active in the ceramics and brick industry, who owned it until 1972.
Dominantly positioned on the hillside of Vezzano Ligure with a completely open view of the Gulf of La Spezia, the 1,700 square metre villa has four above-ground levels and a basement.
It is characterised by a monumental double flight of stairs and a large neoclassical portico, with a volume that rises with symmetry and sobriety, following the proportions of the classical architectural style.
Inside, the villa is richly decorated with beautiful neoclassical frescoes depicting mythological and naturalistic scenes.
On the ground floor is the main entrance with the typical H-shaped structural layout from which the kitchen area, two halls and two rooms develop symmetrically.
On the piano nobile, 4 rooms with bathrooms and the reception hall, which is overlooked by the beautiful panoramic terrace.
On the second floor there are 8 rooms with bathrooms and finally the attic floor with the possibility of obtaining a further 6 rooms.
The property is completed by a private chapel and a basement of approximately 340 square metres to be used as a cellar or spa.
Currently, the villa has been purchased by a private company that will take care of its entire renovation, equipping it with all modern technical and interior design amenities.
Potentially usable as an accommodation facility, it also lends itself to being a private residence of considerable quality.
The price quoted is for the property delivered finished, including swimming pool and landscaping.
