Della Fontana Penthouse (apartment)

Home description

The apartment's modern features are 'state of the art', with elegant floor tiles combined with underfloor heating, centralised air-conditioning, controllable from every room to the 'alligator' paint effect walls in the bathrooms! The kitchen is fully equipped with modern appliances with a clever minimalist central island, concealing a working area beneath. The counter top can slide forward to create a breakfast bar. There is also a dining table which can seat from four - twelve people when extended!

This large living space is great for entertaining - with elegant black leather sofas and a very unusual reclining 'snake effect' lounger which can be adjusted into a variety of positions. The entertainment systems are lavish - there is a wide flat screen TV with sky cable and DVD player in the living area and the whole apartment has been fitted with surround sound - even outside on the large terrace! The living area has very large glass sliding doors which gives you a magnificent, panoramic view of the lake. The large terrace is not only great so sunbathing but gives an extended living space to enjoy.

This apartment is a part of the historical Villa Capoana, constructed in the year 1605 for the Duke of Mount Marciano in the locality of Fonte Uga in Fiumelatte. Since then it has been a home for families of Dukes for many generations until just recently when part of the Villa was reconstructed into unusual and contemporary apartments. The renovation was undertaken sympathetically by master craftsman who have preserved the historical features including an amazing ornamental & original natural waterfall faced in shell mosaics. There are also fascinating stalactite formations within the fountain arch. The garden area has also been lovingly preserved in its original design, retaining the beauty of the area.
