Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Here’s a home we really love – an ancient castle in the Umbrian countryside, transformed into a luxurious villa. Set on a vast estate among rolling hills and olive groves, it’s a perfectly picturesque place to relax, and just a short drive from pretty Perugia. With rooms spread across the main house and a separate guest house, it offers plenty of space for a group getaway or celebrating a special occasion. Speaking of which, there’s an 11th century church here which can host weddings and other events, providing an enchanting venue for a memorable day.

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. Fontana Maggiore, an ornate fountain is at the heart of the square which once buzzed with medieval merchants and monks. Follow the narrow streets...
