Villa Attems Cernozza de Postcastro is an estate dating back to the 1600s, which has always been a property of Counts Attems.

The complex is surrounded by an enchanting overlook of the English-style park, full of numberless varieties of plants, colours and fragrances. There are magnolias (Magnolia grandiflora), laurels (Laurus nobilis), palms, cypresses (Cupressus sempervirens.), maritime pines (Pinus pinaster), Lebanon cedars (Cedrus libani), lindens (Tilia spp.), oaks (Quercus spp.), sweet cherry trees (Prunus avium) and many other fruit plants, perfectly coexisting with jasmine (Jasminum spp.), camellias (Camelia spp.), hydrangeas (Hydrangea spp.), oleanders (Nerium oleander), pittosporums (Pittosporum spp.), geraniums (Pelargonium spp.), tulips (Tulipa spp.) and ancient roses (Rosa spp.).

There is the fountain designed in 1760 by Nicolò Pacassi, the architect who also worked for Maria Theresa of Austria. This fountain was originally built in the park of Villa di Piedimonte, survived the bombings during WWI and later moved to its current location here.
There is also an ancient well, now used only as a decoration, originally serving the community of Lucinico. This village has actually other four wells, conveniently located within its boundaries.
