Enjoy the beauty and tranquility of owning your own piece of Italian history in the form of this stunning 5 bedroom villa located in Emilia-Romagna, Parma, Italy.

Just a few kilometers from the vibrant city life of Parma, this villa exudes an atmosphere of tranquillity and timeless elegance, framed by centuries-old trees, lush plants, and native flowers, including the fabled Parma violets.
The villa’s architecture reflects the Mitteleuropean influence of Maria Luigia of Habsburg Lorena, who, after being assigned the Duchy of Parma Piacenza and Guastalla, invited esteemed artists to her court, thus instigating significant transformations in the locale. This history lesson is continued in the form of the adjacent rural building, which mirrors the charming aesthetic of a small Austrian country house.
In 1971, the villa underwent a comprehensive renovation. Fine materials were used, with walnut wood and handcrafted terracotta flooring in the living area.
