Timeless elegance between Parma and Mantua

There are homes that offer more than space: they embody a way of life. This 1911 villa, set in the Emilian countryside between Parma and Mantua, is one of those residences that welcomes with quiet discretion, allowing its atmosphere to speak for itself. In Luzzara, within a landscape shaped by water, fields and silence, the villa stands out with the understated elegance typical of historic Mantuan residences. The layout follows a classical scheme: a grand, light-filled central hall - both impressive and inviting - from which the various rooms unfold, achieving a natural balance between formal reception and private living. The villa underwent a complete renovation around thirty years ago through a meticulous conservation-led restoration, which preserved original materials and proportions while enhancing the richness of the surfaces and the quality of the detailing. As a result, the property has retained its original soul. The travertine staircase draws the eye upwards, lime-based finishes lend warmth and depth, while wrought iron elements and columns define the spaces with restraint and character. Every feature engages in a quiet dialogue, creating an atmosphere that is warm, authentic and never ostentatious. The villa extends over approximately 400 sqm and is surrounded by a private park that ensures privacy and a seamless visual connection with the surrounding greenery. On the ground floor, the sitting room, kitchen, study and service areas flow effortlessly into one another, while the first floor hosts three bedrooms and two bathrooms, designed to offer both comfort and discretion. An independent flat on the attic level completes the main residence. The property also includes a separate two-level flat, ideal for a caretaker or staff accommodation, a spacious internal garage with laundry room and mezzanine, as well as a traditional barchessa with patio and two additional garages. The garden comfortably accommodates four parking spaces. Today, the villa is run as a charming bed and breakfast - an activity that fully enhances its original vocation and confirms its natural aptitude for hospitality. At the same time, the property retains its identity as a distinguished private residence, ready to evolve once more in line with the vision of its future owner. An authentic home where time seems to slow down, and every detail speaks of elegance, history and a true sense of welcome.
