Description of buildings

At the entrance to the property there is the Caretaker’s Lodge, with two floors and a picturesque turret, and a total surface area of 224 sq.m. Next to this there is a large building with three floors, originally used as guest accommodation, with a total surface area of 1025 sq.m of which around 630 sq.m comprises cellars, storerooms, parking spaces etc. and the rest is living space.

The Manor House is set back a little in a more secluded location, surrounded by the garden and the grounds with trees. It has a total surface area of 884 sq.m (of which 85 sq.m comprises the cellar on the basement floor) over four floors, and a pretty, panoramic roof terrace of 78 sq.m.

In addition, the property includes an 88 sq.m greenhouse and various annexes adding up to around 150 sq.m. 

State and finishing

The Manor House was built at the beginning of the 1900s, while the other buildings were built after 1960. The roof of the villa was fully restored in 2012 and its facades were plastered and painted, however, the inside requires restoration and all the appliances need to be modernised.

The other buildings (caretaker’s lodge, farmhouse etc.) are built with exposed brickwork and local stone, and their roofs are currently being completely refurbished, but they will also require complete internal  restoration.

External areas

The grounds which surround the villa extend for over 3 hectares and include a pool, an Italian style garden and a large pine forest. 

Use and potential uses

Villa San Teodoro would be perfect as an impressive home, with the other buildings being used for staff and guests, or it could be used as tourist accommodation.
