The Leopoldina is typical, with a portico on the ground floor, a loggia on the first floor and a dovecote (nowadays converted into a bedroom). On the inside, countryside residences' characteristics have all been preserved: terracotta floors, wooden beams with terracotta tiles on the ceilings, wooden trusses, masonry barrel and rib vaults decorated with geometrical motives and wooden fixtures.

USE AND POTENTIAL USES
The villa is perfect as a private residence thanks to its quiet location, not too isolated and granting access to the necessary services.

The annex on the left, in fact, can be easily converted into a second guesthouse.
