Single family villa via Zabarella, Breganze

VILLA POLI ARRIGONI AL TORRESAN
HISTORIC PROPERTY CURRENTLY AS A HOTEL DESTINY

Located against the hills of Breganze we offer an elegant late 19th century Venetian villa.
Its hotel destination is still well known in the area with its renowned restaurant, famous for its typical dish of Torresan, the pride of the Poli family who still resides there. The building can therefore be imagined as a prestigious accommodation facility or even worthy of a conversion for elegant residential use.
Its use requires maintenance interventions that skilfully enhance its important volumes and extraordinary potential.

Located on the slopes of Mount Santa Lucia, just outside the historic centre, the villa stands on two floors above ground and an attic on a rectangular plan.
The main façade, facing west, is characterized by a central prominence determined by the presence , on the ground floor, a spacious arched door preceded by a short staircase, which corresponds, on the noble floor, to a serliana equipped with a retained balustrade. On the sides four axes of rectangular openings are distributed semimetrically.
Stone stringcourses and sill markers cross the façade horizontally and a fresco decoration simulates balustrades below the openings on the main floor and a gentle rustication on the ground floor. The plan falls within the tradition of Venetian villas with a central hall passing through both the ground floor and the main floor. On the back is a two-storey secondary wing marked along the southern front by a series of arched openings on the ground floor and rectangular ones on the first floor. The villa was built by Count Alessandro Arrigoni in 1882 as a summer residence for his family.
It should be remembered for the memorable, historic War Council held there under the aegis of King Vittorio Emanuele III in May 1916, as soon as the Austrian offensive on the Tonezza and Asiago plateaus had begun. General Luigi Cadorna, Chief of Staff and Commander-in-Chief of the Italian army, explained his plan, already underway, of the famous maneuver carried out along entire internal lines by which the Italian armies operating on the Isonzo and on the Carso with all available means, they were transferred to the most threatened points of our front, initially buffering and then exhausting the menacing enemy offensive.--53322279630d5526cb8849c6a87d40c1!
