Description
The villa is the direct heir to the Venetian Villa tradition, when between the 15th and 19th centuries the local nobility asserted its prestige through country residences able to combine elegance, self-sufficiency, and stewardship of the land. Today the estate conveys the same authority: a three-storey main villa, a stone farmhouse, an underground level dedicated to entertaining, staff accommodation and six garages, set within a private 18,000 sq m park with a Valpolicella DOC vineyard and a mature olive grove—an autonomous little world to be run at your own pace.
The main villa, with three vehicular entrances and two pedestrian gates, is surrounded by a formal Italian garden with box hedges, stone paths and a monumental marble sculpture. The ochre-yellow façade, with green shutters and classical pediments, is unmistakable: an identity that stands on its own, without the need for proclamations.
The interiors, with a commercial area of approximately 1,739 sq m, recount centuries of taste through stucco ceilings, Venetian terrazzo floors, marble fireplaces and stone portals: craftsmanship you can sense at every step, integrated with every modern comfort—lift, air conditioning, five working fireplaces and an alarm system.
The stone farmhouse, with exposed walls, full-height beams and antique terracotta flooring, houses a private wellness area with gym, sauna and a double whirlpool tub.
The underground level, with bar, billiards, stage for live music and the wine cellar—with original barrel vaults and a tasting table—offers spaces designed to share evenings and emotions with family and friends: hospitality.
Outside, the swimming pool, cypresses and vineyard complete a setting where history, prestige and conviviality coexist in perfect balance.

Location: Illasi, Veneto
Illasi is one of the gems of the Veronese foothills. The setting is quiet and well connected: Verona is only 22 kilometres away, reachable in just a few minutes along roads that cross hilly landscapes of vineyards, olive groves and gentle rises.
The area is among the most authentic food-and-wine districts in the province of Verona: Illasi is renowned for producing highly prized wines and Veneto Valpolicella DOP Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Nearby is also Soave, a famous medieval village and the capital of the white wine of the same name.
For those seeking a home immersed in the beauty of the Veronese countryside, far from the city’s chaos yet never isolated, Illasi is a choice of rare authenticity and quality of life.
