Villa Impero is not a typical private villa. Built in the early 1800s for the Marquis Mazzacorati, it was originally conceived as a Neoclassical reception pavilion for the nearby Villa Aldrovandi ai Camaldoli estate, with frescoed interiors designed for balls, receptions, and formal gatherings.

Set inside a historic Gothic palazzo on Campo Santo Stefano, the property is arranged as two separate residences, combining a frescoed piano nobile and an upper-level apartment with an internal loggia and an altana overlooking the city’s rooftops.

Set between Ostuni and the Adriatic Sea, within 4.3 hectares (10.6 acres) of olive groves, Masseria Dagilupi was restored in 2019 by Corsaro Architetti.

Set in the countryside outside Noto, this 19th-century farmhouse dates to 1867 and has been restored in part, with remaining structures to be completed. The property is positioned within the Val di Noto, a UNESCO-designated region in southeastern Sicily known for its Baroque towns and active agricultural landscape.

A former Benedictine monastery in Umbria has been quietly transformed into a private residence with its original structure intact. Located just outside the hilltop town of Bettona, the setting offers views across the Umbrian valley within easy reach of Assisi and Perugia.

Set within a natural cove in Conca dei Marini on the Amalfi Coast, between Amalfi and Praiano, and just east of Positano, the waterfront residence includes seven sea-view bedrooms, each with a private terrace, and is accessible by both road and water, with a private path to the sea.

A restored rural residence outside Noto has been reworked into a contemporary country house. The six-bedroom property sits within the UNESCO-listed Val di Noto, a region increasingly defined by architect-led restorations.

A restored apartment in Milan’s Magenta district features nearly 12-foot ceilings and full-height windows within a historic building on Via Vincenzo Monti. The property also includes a separate staff or guest unit above the main residence.

Lofts are relatively rare in Rome. This one is walking distance to the Colosseum, spanning about 408 sqm (~ 4,392 sq ft) with 5 bedrooms and 5 baths.

Originally a fortified tower belonging to a medieval Florentine noble family, this historic estate later evolved into a Renaissance villa during the Medici era. The property now sits within roughly 17 acres of gardens and woodland in the hills just outside Florence.
