Description
This amazing villa sits on top of a hill overlooking the ancient village of Manoppello and is surrounded by a large garden that blends into the green surroundings.
The complex was named in memory of the Georgian princess Kety Mkheidzè, wife of the owner, Grand Officer Manlio Pardi. This Abruzzese villa, beloved by Kety, who found in the surrounding landscape the evocative beauty of the Georgian hills, it evokes an ancient, simple and elegant charm.
With patience and love, the owners have made this old family home, one of the cosiest spots in the neighbourhood.
The villa is built on three floors; the top floor features a splendid terrace from which you can overlook the sea and the slopes of the Maiella mountains.
The magnificent main gateway dates back to the XVIII century, when the villa was built; blocks of ancient stone shape the side columns of the wrought-iron gate, crowned by two elegant capitals.
The park, which covers approximately 10000 square metres, features centuries-old trees, including magnificent cypresses.
The villa, which is currently used as tourist accommodation, is laid out as follows:
GROUND FLOOR There is a stairwell, a huge kitchen, three large living rooms with vaulted ceilings, (with exposed ancient sandblasted bricks), and two bathrooms; all completed by a bright south-facing portico overlooking the swimming pool and garden. This is an excellent space for al fresco breakfasts and dinners at sunset.
FIRST FLOOR Accessed via three entrance. There is a lift, an elegant internal staircase and a sumptuous external flight of stairs, made of stone from the Maiella mountains. A spacious hallway, three enormous living rooms that could be partitioned to create bedrooms and a corridor, plus two bathrooms, a master bedroom with en-suite bathroom and an ancient stone loggia for the exclusive use of the bedroom, and lastly a terrace.
THIRD FLOOR There is an attic, a technical room and a terrace of 190 square metres with a breathtaking view of the Maiella mountain range, the old village, and the surrounding hills with olive groves and oak woods.
BASEMENT Accessiible via an internal staircase and a lift. It consists of a storage room, a hallway, two bathrooms and an an anti-bathroom.
The property also consists of a two-storey outbuilding: a basement apartment and a ground-floor apartment, both comprising a living room, a bedroom and an en-suite bathroom.
A third building is part of the property.
A restored country house on two floors with 6 bedrooms and bathrooms, all of them ready for rental.
MANOPPELLO - PESCARA PROVINCE
Manoppello is a beautiful, small town, located on the top of a hill. It is 257 metres above sea level and affords panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. Inhabited since pre-roman times, it now attracts both pilgrims and art lovers alike. There are many 18-19th century civic buildings and churches, constructed and characterised with ‘pietra di Manoppello-, the renowned local stone. The town is probably most famous for its Holy Relic, a piece of cloth which supposedly bears an image of Christ-s face. It is kept in the Santuario del Volto Santo.
Manoppello has a range of facilities including a mini-market, bakery, pharmacy and post office. There are also bars and restaurants serving local delicacies.
It is an ideal base for those wishing to enjoy outdoor life and participate in open-air activities. The Maiella National Park is close by, providing many exciting adventures together with winter sports at the ski resort of Passo Lanciano.
