It circles around a stunning 15x5m pool, providing ample opportunity to relax while taking in the splendid scenery – the tall, majestic mountains from one side, and the hills sloping down to the Adriatic coast from the other. Some of its highlights: huge floor to ceiling French doors in the main porch overlooking the garden, outdoor grill station with oversized stone table and elegant, modern finishes paired with traditional materials all over.

The Villa

Step into this charming villa through its large entrance gate, sited on an extremely privileged position in the hills around Monteleone, in Emilia-Romagna. You are met by a lovely gravel driveway leading you to the two gems of the property: the main house and the adjacent dependance, located only a few steps away from the stunning swimming pool. You will feel serenity wash over you as you approach this stunning oasis of peace – it feels private and quiet yet family-friendly and welcoming.  

The main house of this estate is spread out on two floors, for a total of 376 sq.m. paired with an oversized 63 sq.m. element-protected porch.

Ground Floor:

Step in this home through the front entrance – you are swept away in cascading natural light provided by the majestic porch. Walls of glass open to this expansive sheltered space, element protected for all-year-round entertainment and perfect for elegant summer dinners as it sits right by the garden, overlooking the pool. 

From this majestic area you then access a cozy reading room showcasing three large libraries. It leads you to this floor’s splendid living room – a bright and welcoming space for you and your guests to have elegant meals in.

You then step into the heart of the house: the oversized chef’s kitchen. Modern and extremely elegant appliances, classic square stone sink, wooden floors complementing the beams on the ceiling. It feels homely and intimate, perfect for informal evenings around the raised stone fireplace.

With direct access from the kitchen, you then enter this floor’s laundry room, showcasing the same floors and ceiling details. On this floor you will also find a room, that you may furnish with a bed and closet, and a bathroom. This area is accessible via a private entrance overlooking the driveway.

First Floor:

You can access this floor via two internal staircases, either through the winding staircase in the kitchen, or the larger one placed in the spacious porch.

This floor features 3 majestic bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom. One of them is also directly accessible from an outdoor staircase leading to a splendid French door looking over the driveway. Double sinks and a luxurious, angled bathtub are the crown jewel of the bathroom in the master suite, which also boasts an oversized walk-in closet.

At the heart of this floor you see a large living room, where you can place a long couch for cozy movie-nights, and an adjacent studio room welcoming those that come up from the winding staircase in the kitchen.

The Dependance

Sited but a few meters away from the main house you will find this charming 234 sq.m. dependance opening out over the garden and its majestic pool. It spreads out on two floors, allowing your guests to relish in the utmost privacy while still being able to engage with the rest of the home and the outdoor areas.

Ground Floor:

This floor is entirely made up of 5 luxurious bedrooms, each of them with en-suite bathroom and a private access to the garden through their own bright French doors. The bedrooms are but a few steps away from the pool and the main house.

Your guests will be able to have a separate nighttime area and benefit from the expansive daytime rooms in the main house for meals and cheerful get-togethers. A splendid 42 sq.m. porch runs along this side of the house, and each room has a part of it privately allocated where your guests can place chairs and relax in the shade.

Basement:

With direct and private access from outdoors, this floor features a room that you may furnish with bed and closet, a bathroom and a living space with kitchenette. This area is very well finished and perfect if you need a last-minute extra bedroom for your guests.

This floor also hosts a 90 sq.m. garage for even more car space for your guests.

The Land

Outdoor living is easy in the beautifully landscaped 4.266 sq.m. garden, entirely bordered in its perimeter by lush hedges which allow for the utmost privacy, without having to renounce on the breathtaking views of the hills in Emilia Romagna. The home also includes a massive ten-car parking space in the gravel driveway, allowing you to welcome all your guests comfortably.

Surrounded by manicured lawns, flowers, and aromatic herbs, you spot the jaw-dropping 15x5m pool and its adjacent shower. Lined by a terracotta sundeck, it provides a mesmerizing backdrop for outdoor meals in the garden, and elegant pool events under the gazebo.

Another gem is the outdoor grill station with its adjacent stone table. Conveniently placed in the shade, it allows for endless outdoor activities for you and your guests.

The Location

Located in one of the most idyllic settings in the Emilia Romagna region, this stunning estate sits in Monteleone, a charming medieval town just 15km away from Cesena. Its location is extremely privileged, as it’s close to A14 – one of the key highways of the whole country.

The hills of Emilia Romagna are perfect for those looking for a quiet spot to relax in, go for lovely walks in nature, and stop at wineries and osterie (traditional restaurants) along the way to taste some of the most amazing local foods and wines.

Not even 30km away you find the stunning Riviera Romagnola, this majestic haven on the Adriatic coast that has been one of the major seaside destinations in Italy for more than a century. If you’d like to experience the true Italian summer, this is the right spot. It is right in Monteleone that famous English poet Lord Byron stayed for a bit: it is a town rich in history, where you can find hidden temples, ancient churches, and stunning views on the hills all year round.
