11 bedroom property

Welcome to Our Charming Farmhouse in the Heart of Umbria

Nestled in the lush, verdant landscape of Umbria, our agriturismo offers an enchanting retreat steeped in history and natural beauty. The origins of the farmhouse are shrouded in mystery, with its construction date uncertain. However, a brick discovered during renovations, dated 1767, hints at its long-standing heritage.

Originally part of a vast agricultural property owned by various noble families, the farmhouse is situated within the ancient domains of the San Quirico Abbey. This abbey, just 1 km away, dates back to the 10th century. It is first mentioned in a papal diploma issued by Pope Urban III in 1185, which references the Monasterium Sancti Quirici of Bettona.

San Quirico Abbey flourished during the 11th and 12th centuries, amassing a substantial landholding with numerous dependencies, likely including our farmhouse

Renovations and Modern Comforts

The farmhouse underwent significant restoration in 1993-1994, with a complete reconstruction that adhered to the original layout and foundations. This renovation included the rebuilding of entire sections and the installation of an earthquake-resistant roof. The first-floor ceiling was hollowed out and lightened to preserve the beautiful beamed ceilings on the ground floor. Oak beams were inspected and replaced where necessary, with reusable materials like stone, wood, and bricks being carefully conserved.

Subsequent renovations have incorporated innovative building techniques, such as the use of hemp insulation and large windows. The most recent update was completed in 2020. Additionally, the former horse stable, built in wood in 1997, was converted into charming apartments for agritourism in 2010, with the latest improvements made in 2024.
