Exteriors & Garden
The luxury of silence: a protected oasis among olive trees, secular lime trees, and the panoramas of the Eastern Hills.

An oasis of privacy. The one-hectare sunken lawn, entirely enclosed, acts as a natural diaphragm between the outside world and the manor. Here, privacy is not an option, but the natural condition of living, making the Villa a secure and impenetrable refuge.
Arrival at the property is a prelude to peace: traveling the road that ascends toward the villa, it is not uncommon to encounter squirrels, hares, and roe deer. Once through the entrance, the world disappears. You enter the internal courtyard, where absolute quiet reigns in the shade of the Centuries-Old Lime Trees that dominate the court.
The Villa's dominant position offers a natural scenario of rare beauty. The gaze meets no obstacles but ranges freely over the Alpine arc, majestic in winter with snow-capped peaks, and gets lost in the surrounding hills. We are in the heart of the Colli Orientali (Eastern Hills): the property is surrounded by a territory with vineyards of various owners, a landscape that changes color with the seasons.
Not a separate body, but a natural extension of the manor. The Barchessa develops in an "L" shape directly attached to the main building, conveniently accessible via an internal passage. Equipped with a monumental fireplace and a service kitchen sized for 200 guests, it is the beating heart of conviviality.
A strategic hub for luxury business: with over 1,800 total sqm and this versatile space already integrated, the Villa lends itself to becoming a prestigious corporate headquarters or an exclusive boutique hotel just 40 minutes from the airport.
The heart of the Barchessa is the "Fireplace Room." Not just a piece of furniture, but a monumental, perfectly functioning hearth, capable of hosting people sitting right inside and around the fire. It is a return to a now-rare convivial experience: welcoming guests with the crackle of wood, chatting warmed by the embers, and rediscovering a human warmth that modernity has forgotten.
The inner courtyard is embellished by one of the most beautiful historic wells in all of Friuli, a stone masterpiece that dominates the outdoor space. All around the villa, over 200 olive trees create a silvery and productive frame: the harvest offers an annual production of private, high-quality extra virgin olive oil.
To the west, an integral part of the complex overlooking the courtyard, stands the family chapel of San Gaetano (documented as early as the pastoral visits of May 13, 1701). It is not a mere annex, but a private and available place of worship.
Villa Ottelio is not just isolated in nature; it is at the center of one of Friuli's most renowned wine areas. Surrounded by the vineyards of the best global producers of the Colli Orientali, the Villa guarantees an immediate connection with Europe:
