Thinking that the past concerns only a temporary fragment limits us to a single observation. The past resides in every single gesture and thought of our present and piece by piece creates the expansion of our future.
This is what happened, happens and will happen in the DIMORA OF SANTA BARBARA.
The CHURCH OF SANTA BARBARA represents an exceptional testament of history and elegance in the heart of Ravenna, next to the prestigious Basilica of Sant’Apollinare Nuovo, a UNESCO site of world importance. This building, with origins dating back to 1100 as a monastic sanctuary, has undergone several phases of transformation over the centuries, becoming a residence of rare beauty and prestige.
Thanks to the commitment and care of its owners, the Dimora Santa Barbara has been expertly preserved and enhanced, letting itself be transformed into a living work of art that enchants and inspires anyone who looks at it.
Passing through the front door, adorned with elegant illustrative plaques, you are immediately transported on a timeless journey through history and art. Every detail, from the entrance gate to the layout of the premises, tells the ancient history of this unique place.
The room opens onto a studio overlooking the evocative UNESCO square, then leads to a living area with a refined design, characterized by a modern kitchen and a fine oak floor. An outdoor space offers a private garden that blends harmoniously with the sky, while an evocative mood room invites reflection at the foot of the magnificent rose window.
Every architectural and decorative detail, the result of patient restoration work, contributes to creating an atmosphere of refined elegance and comfort. The bathroom, with its imposing stone and brick structures, transforms the everyday experience into a ritual of wellbeing, evoking the atmosphere of a modern spa.
Upstairs, two bedrooms welcome natural light from the skylights and the outdoor terrace, offering an oasis of tranquility and refinement, in a perfect balance between tradition and modernity.
Every detail within this residence is a precious piece of a unique art, where culture and design merge in a symphony of style and refinement. Here, every element on display is an integral part of an evolving work of art, destined to enchant the eyes of those who know how to appreciate authentic beauty.
With over 240 square meters of living space, every single element, furnishing complement and architectural detail allows you to stop no longer to look at a single work of art, but to live within a gallery that preserves memories and future projects at the same time.
Experiencing a moment of intimacy, enjoying a fine glass of Italian wine while taking in the view of the Basilica of Sant’Apollinare Nuovo, becomes a cinematic experience intertwined with the magic of the moon illuminating the scene.
The Church of Santa Barbara, with its aura of historic grandeur and modern elegance, awaits its final completion, ready to welcome those who will appreciate and enhance its timeless beauty. The 2 bedrooms can be easily converted into 4 bedrooms according to the vision of the future owner.
