With just four bedrooms split across two historic buildings, this home has got space in abundance – you'll easily find a quiet spot to yourself in the tiered stone courtyard, and for larger gatherings, head to the breezy, open lounge in the pool house. And whether you opt for a dip in the hot tub or the infinity pool, you can soak up stunning views over private hills and woodland. Indeed, the estate's castle, perched on the horizon, is a reminder of the additional activities available at this secluded home – from hiking the nearby trails to visits to the estate's restaurant and pony ranch. Meanwhile, Perugia is less than an hour's drive away.

About Perugia

In the heart of picturesque Umbria, the walled city of Perugia radiates history down every winding cobbled alleyway. Sitting atop a hill, streets stacked on top of each other are crowned at the tip with the jutting spire of Piazza IV Novembre with its ancient Cathedral.
