Geographic position
Situated only 200 metres from the sea, in a convenient location and a stone's throw from the town centre and the beach, Villa Paradiso is one of the most characteristic and charming Art Nouveau villas on the Adriatic Riviera.
Built in the early 1900s as a summer residence, it consists of the delightful Art Nouveau villa used as a private residence with its halls, large terraces and outdoor spaces ideal for events and accommodation activities, as well as the characteristic private church.
We are only 10 km from San Benedetto del Tronto and less than 5 km from Grottammare, both of which can also be reached via a beautiful flat cycle path that runs along the seaof the renowned Riviera della Palme.
There is an excellent connection with the A14 motorway (6 km), which allows you to quickly reach all the most important coastal resorts on the Adriatic and, in less than an hour's drive, the international airports of Ancona (85 km) and Pescara (84 km).
Description of buildings
A straight avenue crosses the park and leads to the villa, on the left side of which an unusual neo-Gothic chapel, surmounted by a soaring cusp dome crowned by eight pinnacles, imposes itself on the eye.
A romantic backdrop of trees encloses the western front of the residence, whose garden is protected by the slope rising behind it.
The property, which is currently used partly as a private residence and partly as accommodation facilities, comprises an elegant Art Nouveau villa, with on the ground floor important spaces dedicated to catering (restaurant rooms, kitchens, loggias, terraces, etc.), and on the upper floors theprivate residence,accessory rooms, the private church, a loggia and some terraces and outdoor spaces with a sea view.
Art Nouveau villa (intended as a private residence plus spaces on the ground floor for catering and accommodation)
800 sqm commercial + 3 terraces of 154, 13 and 24 sqm
The lower ground floor and the ground floor of the villa are intended for receptive activities and house the kitchens, the 2 restaurant rooms, the offices, some bathrooms, the shed, the cellar and the technical rooms.
The first floor of the villa has a commercial area of approximately 105 square metres, plus two beautiful terraces with a sea view, measuring 154 and 13 square metres. This area, which has been restored to the rough, would offer the new owner the possibility of customising it and subdividing it according to his needs, as an independent flat or an extension of the main house.
On the second and third floor we find the private home of the current owners with the living area, with a large living room with fireplace and panoramic terrace of 24 sqm, the kitchen and a bathroom.
On the upper floor we find 3 bedrooms, all with en-suite bathroom and a large storage room.
Church and adjacent premises
124 sqm total commercial area + two terraces of 27 and 14 sqm.
The spectacular private church, circular in plan, has a commercial surface area of 73 sqm approx. Adjacent and communicating with the church, we find a turret, also circular in plan, with a room having a commercial surface area of approximately 19 sqm.
This area is completed by three further rooms/covered spaces, again with Gothic-style exteriors, of 8, 19 and 5 commercial sqm.
On the church building and the turret we also find a characteristic outdoor area of approximately 41 sqm, accessible externally via a small bridge connecting it with the park: a terrace (above the turret) and a walkway running around the neo-Gothic dome.
Next to the restaurant area is a beautiful terrace with a removable veranda, measuring a further 185 sqm, and a 22 sqm loggia.
The surface area is calculated on the basis of the net floor area including interior partitions and increased by a 10% incidence for load-bearing walls.
The area of the loggia, veranda and terraces, which are counted separately, must be added to the total area.
State and finishing
The villa wasbuilt between the late 19th and early 20th century (incorporating a pre-existing building that has become the core of the current structure) with the aim of creating a summer residence for a noble inland family.
The property is an important example of a stately home in the Piceno region, of great architectural interest for its Art Nouveau structure combined with the neo-Gothic structures of the church, a fascinating space with multiple uses.
In general the villa is in excellent condition, with some areas to be completed (in particular the first floor of the villa with the unfinished interiors to be finished and customised).
External areas
The villa can be reached from the Statale Adriatica, following an avenue bordered by olive trees, which leads to its eastern façade.
The outdoor spaces are one of the main features of this property: approximately 1 hectare (including the building site) of private land, much of it with large paved terraces overlooking the sea, ideal for events and receptions, andsurrounded by lush fruit trees and hedges, the gardens at the front of the villa and a large area for parking.
