Rovello is a historic house in the Sydney suburb of Bellevue Hill. It is listed on the Register of the National Estate.[1]

History and description

This two-storey house was designed by Wilson, Neave and Berry. It is younger than other houses in the area, such as Rona, Fairfax House and Caerleon, having been built in 1936. It was designed around a courtyard modelled on the colonnaded Roman atriums. Features include a two-storey hall and a prominent set of timber stairs.[2]

The Australian Heritage Commission describes Rovello as "Probably Wilson, Neave and Berry's finest extant piece of architecture. It is also an important element in Ginahgulla Road, grouping with No 14 and with Rona, Ginahgulla and Trahlee to be an outstanding streetscape."[3]
