Fidenza, Parma (provinz)

This charming family villa – now on sale for the first time since its construction - is situated a stone's throw away from the centre of Fidenza, conveniently located in a well served area. The elegant town of Parma (with its airport), home to the Verdi festival, excellent gourmet restaurants, Parmesan cheese and prosciutto, is literally a 20-minute drive. Fidenza is approximately an hour's drive from the Ligurian and Tuscan coast (Forte dei Marmi), a two-hour drive from the Adriatic coast (Rimini, Riccione, etc.) and lies in close proximity to the very famous spa towns of Salsomaggiore Terme and Tabiano Terme, to Roncole Verdi (the birthplace of Giuseppe Verdi) and to the host of medieval castles located in the provinces of Parma and Piacenza. There are golf courses in nearby Salsomaggiore and around Parma. Convenient railway and motorway services connect you to Milan and Bologna in less than an hour. The high-speed Freccia Rossa train takes you to Rome in just 3 hours.
The villa stands in a residential area at the end of a drive in a luxuriant park with many varieties of trees, shrubs, flowers and fruit trees extending over 1800 sq. metres, offering many opportunities to relax in the sun or shade. There are three garages and two separate entrances. Just outside the main entrance to the villa is a spectacular grapevine pergola.
The main living accommodation is on two floors (ground and first floor levels), as well as a basement and convertible attic (total area approximately 350 sq m). The ground floor houses a kitchen, bathroom, dining room, lounge, study, a spacious corridor with built in cupboards and a patio. The kitchen is fully equipped with a dishwasher, fridge/freezer, gas hob and oven, a ceramic sink, Sardinian granite worktop with elm cupboards above and below the worktop. The ground floor bathroom has been recently renovated.

All rooms on both floors have central heating radiators served by a gas boiler located in the basement. High standard finishes such as marble floors and wooden parquet floors. Double glazed windows with mosquito nets and gold-coloured aluminium shutters have been installed. The basement comprises a kitchen, 2 wine cellars, a store-room, a utility room with the gas boiler, and a bathroom, equipped with a toilet and sink unit. The attic is accessed by stairs and comprises two tiled (terracotta) rooms, both of which offer the opportunity to extend the living accommodation area. The attic has three glass windows providing natural sunlight and is equipped with electricity.
The property has been well-maintained and periodically improved by the owners: the roof has been recently replaced, as well as the paving stones around the house and in the garden area. The sewage and hydraulic systems have been renovated. Other important assets are: a private independent well connected to an automatic watering system, burglar alarm system and 2 stairlifts.
