It belonged to one of the most illustrious families of Ameno since the 14th century, known for their roles as notaries, militia leaders, general counselors, men of culture, and ecclesiastics. This historic residence stands at the beginning of the village, next to the Oratory of San Bernardino, dating back to the 16th century, and is distinguished by its architecture that traces back to the same period, if not earlier. The property is built around a quadrangular courtyard with three wings, featuring a portico with columns, surmounted by cross vaults leading to the ground floor rooms on one side and a staircase to the upper floor on the other. Here, a small loggia with cross vaults and a corridor lead to the bedrooms. Adjacent to the main building are other service structures, including the caretaker's house. The green spaces of Casa Obicini are equally fascinating and historic. An elegant formal garden, accessible via an entrance avenue, offers a corner of serenity. Next to the garden, a cobbled path descending near the Oratory of San Bernardino leads to a vast orchard that extends down the slope of the land, offering picturesque views. A small greenhouse, probably built in the 20th century, further enhances the charm of this residence. Living in Casa Obicini means immersing yourself in a timeless setting, where every corner tells stories of a glorious past. The coffered ceilings, loggias, and cross vaults create a unique atmosphere, while the garden and orchard invite you to stroll and enjoy the tranquility of the place. The proximity to the historic center of Ameno and its amenities makes this property not only an exceptional investment but also a perfect place for a serene and comfortable life.
