Our house is located in the private residential area of Capo d’Arco on the shores of the Tyrrhenian Sea, at the foot of Mount Arco, nestled in the Tuscan Archipelago National Park.
An exclusive location with use of swimming pools by the sea and beach for the exclusive use of residents.
Internally it extends over a surface of 75 square meters, it is composed of two bedrooms, a bathroom, a second bathroom built in the atrium, a hallway, a living room and a kitchen. A atrium separates the house from the mountain. The walls are made of stone and are about a meter thick. Three rooms have a Palladian floor with a mosaic workmanship, some parts of the house have an arched brick ceiling.
The external part consists of terraces of about 300 square meters in total and a garden of about 800 square meters. The garden is characterized by the presence of palms Chamaerops humilis (dwarf palm), Washingtonia robusta (palm) and Rhapis excelsa. The Washingtoniana Robusta palms were planted in a circle, it is the most characteristic part of the garden. Gardeners estimate that the palms could be centuries old.
The rarity of this property is that it has been recognized as a Historic Home by the Association of Italian Historic Homes: with a precise identity, for its history, for its historical-cultural value and for the close connection with the territory where it was born.
We know that the house existed in 1840, and over time the owner would like to reconstruct its history.
From 1840/1845 to 1949
At the moment we know nothing about what happened before 1949, but we know that the house existed and was registered in the Leopoldino Land Registry (Pic.2), the identification is evident by superimposing the image of the Leopoldino Land Registry and an extract of the cadastral map taken in 1939.
From 1949 to 1963
During this period the house had been owned by Ernesto Stacchini Società Agricola. During this period the Agricultural Company operated, at the same time Ferromin and Ilva cultivated the limestone quarry located within the area belonging to the Agricultural Company, an area called le Cannelle. The assets mentioned in 1949 include the rural building (Villa ex Rebua) listed in the land registry Sheet 20, map 91, the Villa we are describing.
From 1963 to 1984
The house was owned by Finanziaria Cannelle, then Immobiliare Capo d’Arco. During this period the house was also a hotel.
From 1984
The house becomes the property of the Radaelli family, passed down from mother to daughter.
Staying at Villa delle Palme means experiencing the atmosphere of times gone by, a dream place open to hospitality, for a holiday above all expectations. A unique experience, attentive to the tradition of our genuine and extraordinary island.
