Cordovado, Friuli-Venezia Giulia

Reference: RLHP-T2824. This exquisite 19th-century villa, located in the Prosecco D.O.C area of Friuli-Venezia Giulia near the Tagliamento River, is one of the best-preserved Hapsburg-Venetian estates. Set within a 1.7-hectare park featuring towering trees, romantic pathways, and an Italian-style garden with statues and a fountain, the property spans 2, 300 sqm across multiple buildings. The centerpiece is a neoclassical manor house with three floors, flanked by two lateral wings called "Barchessa, " one of which has a spacious terrace. The entire complex includes 7 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms. Built in the early 19th century by Francesco Zannier and later owned by the noble Variola family, the villa has a storied history. It served as a field hospital during both World Wars before falling into disrepair. A comprehensive restoration in 1996 revived its former grandeur, especially the Barchessa, now a renowned restaurant with large event spaces and a view of the villa's gardens. This villa is ideal for private events, business meetings and receptions, offering elegant rooms with restored period details. It can also serve as a prestigious home for those seeking to live in a historic and majestic setting. Ref: 13135
