Approached along a majestic cypress avenue and framed by towering trees that ensure complete privacy, this early 1900s eclectic-neoclassical villa stands as a true architectural gem, its white façade adorned with intricate decorations that speak to a refined and storied past. Spanning approximately 700 square meters across 4 floors, the property seamlessly blends the grandeur of its original design with the finest modern amenities, offering an experience of sober luxury that is both captivating and deeply restorative. The villa is set within a private 1,800 square meter park, where lush green lawns and mature perimeter trees create a serene and secluded retreat. Guests benefit from dedicated parking spaces accessible via a separate entrance on Via Rossini, high-speed Wi-Fi connectivity available throughout the property including the poolside veranda, and ample yard space that invites relaxation and outdoor enjoyment at every turn. A pre-season technical inspection has been carried out by a qualified manager to verify that all described features, accessories, and facilities are present and in full working order, ensuring maximum quality, cleanliness, and comfort throughout your stay.
Outdoors
The outdoor spaces of Villa La Perla Bianca are nothing short of spectacular, offering a seamless extension of the villa's interior elegance into the natural world. At the heart of the park lies the swimming pool, a rectangular 10x6 meter basin with a depth ranging from 0.90 meters to 2.20 meters, finished in shimmering mother-of-pearl tiles and surrounded by a solarium in white marble. The pool is equipped with a hydromassage area featuring circular seats, a counter-current swimming function, and a decorative wall complete with a shower, water features, and a lighting system.
