Description
A property of rare substance on the outskirts of Verona, set within an estate of about 10 hectares with 550 olive trees, a terraced garden and a five-a-side football pitch. The complex consists of two separate buildings: a private villa and a rural hamlet, which can be sold together or separately, opening up complementary uses or phased development scenarios.
The 476 sq m Villa, built between 1972 and 1973, is arranged over three levels with a decidedly representative footprint. On the ground floor, the entrance leads to generous living areas with high-end finishes: white Trani marble floors, coffered ceilings in crafted wood, wood panelling and damask wallpaper that give the rooms a sumptuous and distinctive character. The internal staircase, with gilded wrought-iron railing and marble cladding, connects the floors elegantly. On the first floor there are five bedrooms and four bathrooms. The basement level houses technical rooms, cellars and a pantry. Outside: swimming pool, large terraces, porticoes and a landscaped park planted with olive trees. Building services: oil-fired heating with radiators and fan coils in the basement, air conditioning, three fireplaces, alarm system and video intercom.
The rural hamlet is a three-storey building with a historic appearance, white render and wooden shutters, currently in need of renovation. It is arranged over ground, first and second floors with attics, as well as a smaller detached outbuilding. The redevelopment potential is high: the existing volume is substantial and any additional building possibilities are to be verified.
The grotto is a truly unusual feature: an underground space carved into the rock, with natural vaults, installed lighting and stone columns, potentially suitable as a wine cellar, spa or reception/entertaining area.
The property enjoys a panoramic view over the Veronese plain and Lake Garda, visible from the terraces thanks to its elevated position on the hills of Parona. The cypresses and terracotta pots contribute to a typically Italian aesthetic of great impact.

Location: Verona, Veneto
The property is located in Parona di Valpolicella, a hillside hamlet just 5 minutes from the center of Verona, one of Europe’s most beloved cities, a UNESCO World Heritage site with the Arena, the Roman historic center, and the legend of Romeo and Juliet. Despite its proximity to the city, you are already immersed in the Veneto countryside, with a level of quiet and privacy that is hard to find elsewhere at this distance from an urban center of such importance.
The elevated position offers an exceptional panoramic view: the Verona plain opens to the south, while to the northwest the view stretches toward Lake Garda, Italy’s largest lake, reachable in about 20–25 minutes.
We are in the heart of Valpolicella, one of Italy’s most prestigious wine denominations, homeland of Amarone, Ripasso, and Recioto. The vineyards and olive groves that define these hills are not just scenery: they are a productive and cultural identity that the international wine world knows and deeply respects. The 550 olive trees on the property fit perfectly into this setting.
From the standpoint of international connectivity, the property is excellently served:
- Verona Airport (Valerio Catullo), 15 minutes, with direct flights to major European capitals
- Venice Airport (Marco Polo), about 1 hour, an intercontinental hub
- Milan, 1h15 by motorway or by high-speed train
- Venice, 1h10
- Lake Como, about 2 hours
For a foreign buyer, this is one of the most well-rounded locations in Italy: culture, food and wine, nature, infrastructure, and discretion, all within easy reach without giving up connections to the rest of the continent.
