9 bedroom villa

This splendid historical residence was built in the 17th century and sits on the edge of a small medieval hamlet, in a panoramic position overlooking the rolling Umbrian hills and the Tiber valley, just 18 km from Orvieto.

This palace belonged to several noble Umbrian families and has always been looked after and restored by the most skilled hands of the various eras. The current owners have taken this heritage and transformed the palace into a contemporary residence. Despite its history and impressive living space, the palace offers a comfortable and homey environment.

The property comprises a main building, a former farmhouse, which has been turned into an impressive museum where you can admire the original feature of the rooms and the individual crafts, and a spacious garage. The palace is surrounded by a private park, an adjacent fenced garden/orchard, which can be used as a parking space, and approximately 3 ha of land with woods.

The palace's main entrance can be reached through the park and has a large entrance hall with a water cistern below leading to a former garrison room characterised by impressive cross vaults and special acoustics. From the entrance hall you can also reach the basement rooms and the former servants' quarters. These rooms could be ideally transformed into a wellness center with an indoor pool.

A Bernini-style staircase leads to the upper floors.
The first floor features a spacious reception room with a stone fireplace, silk-lined walls, and a frescoed vaulted ceiling. There are also several lounges, a dining room with a vaulted ceiling, a fireplace and access to the large terrace, a breakfast room, a kitchen, a library with a coffered ceiling and a fireplace, and two bedroom suites with dressing rooms. This floor is characterised by sophistication and elegance in every detail, from the coffered ceilings, the marble and terracotta floors, the silk wallpaper, and precious frescoes by the famous artist Andrea Galeotti from 1853.

The second floor hosts four bedrooms, some with fireplaces and bathrooms, and all enjoy the same elegance and style as the rest of the palace.

There is the possibility of a swimming pool being built in the park and the former greenhouses can be converted into a pool house if needed.
The palace can be used as a private residence or a hotel/restaurant/SPA.
