Condition and furnishings

The ambiences are embellished with decorative details and beautiful floors, and the other buildings have been restructured in such a way as to maintain the typical characteristics of rural Umbrian farmhouses: stone façades, terracotta floors and wood beamed ceilings.
Outdoor space
The buildings are surrounded by 74 hectares of olive groves, vineyards and woodlands.
The villa itself boasts a lovely Italianate garden while the other buildings are surrounded by fields and olive groves.
There are two swimming pools on the property, each with an adjacent panoramic sunning terrace. There is an ample area for parking.
Services and utilities
All of the utilities have been installed in keeping with the regulations and are in perfect working order.
Use and potential
The estate has been a well-functioning, high-end tourist accommodation for some time now.
Its proximity to Lake Trasimeno, Perugia, Umbria and Tuscany’s other important historical towns and villages and the fact that it is a well-known destination advertised through national and international channels would indicate that continuing the activity as such is advisable.
However, the property could also service other purposes – as a beauty farm, or as a corporate representation residence, specialised clinic or private office centre.
Another option could be to use the main house as private residence and continue the tourist accommodation business in the other buildings.
