In 1984, the property was divided into 38 units and converted into a residential complex. The shared park covers approximately 40,000 m² and includes Renaissance-style gardens with rare plant species, influenced by the English Romantic garden tradition. The grounds also contain the Romanesque church of Santa Maria di Loppia.
