An exclusive, elegant and reserved mansion.
A beauty that does not have to be underlined nor explained, it is revealed little by little, while walking along the corridors, going up the stairs, entering the suffused atmosphere of the rooms.
If only you approach the windows and pull the curtains aside: you will be enchanted by a landscape of gentle hills from which the impressive elliptical dome of the Sanctuary of Vicoforte stands out together with the Monastery of the Cistercian Monks and the complex of buildings which surrounds the church square.
The splendour restored
The house was built around the middle of the Nineteenth century, well before the four bell towers were added to the sanctuary.
This is the place where the family of Vittorio Mantelli and Antonietta Dardanelli lived until their death in 1973. The house was then closed and it fell into disrepair.
In 2009 it was bought by its present owners who restored it to its original splendour, with precious antique furniture, period fireplaces and refined furnishings.
Rooms
The rooms of Duchessa Margherita are Romantic Deluxe, Petite Suite and Classic.
Each of them has got a special planimetry, original antiques and a unique atmosphere; every room is fit with a wooden floor, beds with ergonomic mattresses, a period fireplace, a shower or a hydro massage bath with chromotherapy.
One of the rooms has got a balcony overlooking the hills, one is fitted with a golden mirror, one can boast a Louis XVI style chest of drawers, and there is also a small suite with a dressing room.
