The fantastic Torre Alfina castle in Lazio is up for grabs!

Yes! The fantastic castle of Torre Alfina has hit the market! Located in the picturesque village of Torre Alfina, Viterbo, about a 2 hour drive from the Italian capital of Rome, this castle is capable of impressing even those who are not easily impressed!

"Spanning 5,000 sqm of interiors spread over 5 levels and 1,000 sqm of lush private gardens. This majestic castle boasts a history that traces its roots back to the early Middle Ages and extends into the 20th century, reflecting the evolving architectural trends and socio-historical changes it has undergone," reads the listing on Sotheby's realty.

In fact, the first castle, or rather just a watchtower, was built on the site by the Monaldeschi della Cervara family around the 8th century. During the Renaissance it underwent major transformations. But it was not until 1880 that the castle drastically changed its appearance, when it was purchased by Count Edoardo Cahen d'Anvers, who invited the architect Giuseppe Partini and the gardeners Henri and Achille Duchêne to redesign it in a renewed medieval style - or Gothic Revival - that was so popular in 19th century Europe.

The Torre Alfina Castle has 35 rooms and 15 bathrooms. The ground floor has an imposing gallery with frescoed walls, vaulted ceilings with wood inlays, statues and marble floors. From the gallery there is also a splendid view of the village below and the green countryside.

The upper floor, the piano nobile, consists of a spacious and picturesque gallery, more than 10 rooms, a dining room, several reception rooms and a library with wooden floors, according to the listing.

On the second floor are the attic areas, almost entirely composed of a sleeping area with several bedrooms, along with spaces that include attic rooms, closets and storage rooms. The five towers house beautiful rooms with panoramic views that are sure to take anyone's breath away.

But that is not all. There's the Renaissance garden with geometrically designed flower beds and hedges, and a fountain.

Among the castle's amenities are a wine cellar, a spa, billiard rooms, a parking lot, and even a pizza oven!
