On the first hills of Reggio, in Barco, a few minutes from Reggio Emilia, stands "Villa Teresa", a suggestive historic estate dating back to the early 1800s, surrounded by a wonderful planted park of approx. 6700 square meters, cared for and maintained in every detail, an oasis of peace and serenity where you can spend your days comfortable in the city but far from its noises and frenzies.
Ville Teresa is itself a small town within its enclosures, consisting of three main bodies, as many used as accessory use and some buildings currently in need of renovation.
Crossing the entrance gate we are greeted by an imposing Cedar of Lebanon over 200 years old, guardian and at the same time keeper of the memories of the house, and along the various paths, well-kept and perfectly tidy, you can see the great variety of plants who find a home inside the park; and then we come across wisteria, saxifrage, persimmon, lilac, bamboo, pomegranate just to name a few.
The main villa is on three levels, each of which is intended for a different destination: ground floor a living area characterized by a living room that runs the entire length of the house, a separate kitchen, a furnished and welcoming entrance, a practical and functional hallway and three different entrances on the three sides of the same; going up the internal staircase, original and perfectly restored, the main floor houses three bedrooms, a living room, a bathroom with window and a service one, while the second level is currently used as storage rooms and attic rooms.
The terrace on the first floor seamlessly connects the second main body, once a granary and barn, in which there is now a two-room apartment on the same level with separate kitchen, bathroom with window and large storage room, from the double bedroom overlooks a suggestive loggia which dominates the garden and makes the atmosphere that you can live unique, the ground floor is used as a cellar, storage and woodshed.
Continuing and exploring the park, you reach an open space in the light of the sun in which the central swimming pool and the tavern with fireplace are the ideal place to host banquets or receptions.
Villa Teresa is a historic residence that can be the ideal solution for a family that wants to enjoy large spaces, quiet and comfort compared to large cities, but also as a receptive activity as it already exists and a fixed destination for foreign guests in all periods. of the year.
