OF VILLA BISSINIGA
SINCE 1410
In 1410, Villa Bissiniga first took shape in Renzano, a small hamlet near a river. This marked the beginning of a remarkable journey through time.
A prosperous Salodian family gradually acquired all the land east of Renzano, stretching to the lake’s edge. This vast estate yielded substantial income, primarily from oil, wine, and fruit production.
Six centuries on, the house still stands proudly atop the hill, having weathered time’s passage and changed hands occasionally.
Each new family added their own wing, expanding the Villa and reflecting the diverse tastes of its inhabitants. Some nurtured century-old plants, others adorned it with statues and fountains. Some embellished with frescoes depicting bourgeois country life, while others enhanced the furnishings or increased the park’s animal population.
In 1720, the villa underwent a major renovation, incorporating what is now the kitchen. Later owners added a frescoed hall for grand parties and receptions, ushering in an era of nobility and grandeur.
The current owners purchased the property four decades ago. In 2007, the Bortolotti and Bellini families embarked on a meticulous restoration to revive the Villa’s former glory. This ongoing project included new earthquake-resistant foundations, reinforced slabs, fortified walls, and roof repairs. Every stone was carefully preserved, honouring the Villa’s rich history.
Nothing of the Villa’s 600-year legacy has been lost. Everything has been lovingly restored. Now, new projects are underway, including the renovation of two interior halls and the creation of a natural phyto-organic pool using Bissiniga water, showcasing aquatic vegetation.
This historic property now boasts a unique charm, blending avant-garde projects with environmental sustainability. Alongside the natural pool, the Villa features photovoltaic panels, solar panels, and a large wood-burning stove using wood from the park. Electricity comes solely from renewable sources, and all operations follow strict waste management practices – small gestures for the greater good.
Villa Bissiniga strides confidently into the future! It’s a place to learn from the past, savour the present, and dream of better days for ourselves and future generations.
The Villa offers a perfect retreat for various travellers. Luxury seekers and honeymooners will find romance in its historic charm. Wedding parties can create unforgettable memories amidst its beautiful surroundings. Wellness enthusiasts will appreciate the natural pool and eco-friendly practices. Nature lovers can explore the lush parklands, while food and wine connoisseurs can indulge in local delicacies.
For those interested in culture and heritage, Villa Bissiniga provides a living history lesson. Families and multi-generational groups will find activities for all ages. Corporate teams can use the space for retreats and team-building exercises.
Villa Bissiniga welcomes all who seek a unique blend of history, luxury, and sustainability. It’s more than just a stay; it’s an experience that will linger in your memory long after you’ve left
