Offering a truly authentic Italian experience, the spacious and beautifully decorated Villa Belvedere is magnificently situated in a unique corner of the ancient village of Bertinoro, with breathtaking views of the peaceful and picturesque Romagna hills, the sea, and the coastline.
Infinity pool heated upon request, hot tub, sauna, steam bath, professional gym; movie theater, billiards, bar area with wine cellar, and a fully furnished, carefully designed, and well-maintained garden featuring a barbecue and outdoor games.
Magnificently nestled within a private park spanning 11,000 square meters, the villa is perfectly situated on the main road of the ancient village of Bertinoro, just a 7-minute drive from the Cesena Nord highway exit. The village itself is a historic gem, preserving its ancient layout of cobblestone streets and glimpses of a bygone era; it is even mentioned in *The Divine Comedy* by “the great poet” Dante Alighieri, who stopped in Bertinoro while staying with the lord of Ravenna, Guido da Polenta. Bertinoro has symbolized true Italian hospitality since ancient times, with the Column of Hospitality in the main square still serving as its centerpiece; it hosts the important Hospitality Festival every September, during which the homes of Bertinoro’s residents open their doors to guests to offer them the traditional Romagna feast-day lunch. Boasting a rich Italian culinary tradition, the town offers exquisite dishes in several small restaurants tucked away in the heart of the town center, nestled among the Tower, the Cathedral, and the thousand-year-old Fortress—beautifully restored and now home to the University Residential Center. Bertinoro is also a wine town, with its thousand hectares of vineyards home to more than 30 superb wineries, famous for their Sangiovese, Albana, Cagnina, and Pagadebit—and offering fabulous wine testings paired with the culinary specialties of the Romagna tradition, first and foremost the fragrant piadina and delicious squacquerone. You’ll also get to taste some of the best Italian gelato (ice cream) and the famous cappelletti al ragù (homemade pasta filled with cheese and served in a wonderful meat sauce) while meeting friendly people in a lovely setting, also well known for its spectacular biking and hiking trails and thermal spa.
Upon arriving at the villa, you’ll discover an oasis of peace, privacy, elegance, nature, and comfort—ideal for an unforgettable family getaway, a memorable celebration of any special occasion such as a wedding or birthday, or even as a unique setting for a business meeting, a photo shoot for an advertising campaign, or a movie production.
From the main gate, you drive directly to the front of the villa, where you’ll find a spacious parking area and the beautiful hydrangea garden, crossed by a marvelous stone staircase and furnished with large hammocks placed under centuries-old pine trees. On the first floor, you’ll find the large 80-square-meter living room, featuring a Kawai piano, a Louis XVI fireplace, designer sofas, and lamps by top Italian brands such as Cassina, Poltrona Frau, and Flos, a smart TV, and a 5-meter-long glass window offering one of the most stunning views of the Romagna hills, the sea, and the coastline, along with a view of the infinity pool and garden, and providing direct access to the main terrace; to the left of the living room is the main kitchen—45 square meters—fully equipped and featuring a spacious dining area, four large windows overlooking the beautiful landscape, and direct access to the main terrace; to the right of the living room is the study, which can be converted into bedroom no. 1 (see photos 61 through 65) with direct access to the main terrace, and bedroom no. 2 (pictures 66, 67, 68), featuring an authentic Poltrona Frau Lullaby round bed, an en suite bathroom, and very large windows overlooking the pool and the beautiful landscape.
