At the top of an ancient and classic cypress driveway this charming residence is located. It consists of 3 buildings: the main residence, a gate house and a pool house. It was the most important of the mediaeval farmhouses at the estate and, its closeness to the castle is an additional bonus. In 1996 this property was the first of all estate houses to be renovated, its interiors remain authentic from that period. The villa, whilst very lovely and well kept, is a more simple by standard when compared to the other residences at the estate. The house embodies traditional Umbrian living, from the small market trinkets above the chimney mantel to the tiled kitchen worktop and the richly decorated ceramics in all the bathrooms.
It has an ample layout with 7 bedrooms, surrounded by generous gardens. The villa is obviously designed for outdoor living with wisteria shaded pergolas, a Bocce court and, a covered loggia with bread oven and grill barbeque, facing the swimming pool. It is nestled at the top of its own hill with far-reaching 360° views across to the castle and the hills beyond. The stables, tennis courts, outdoor gym as well as the estate restaurant with its bar, are all within a short walking distance from the front door.
The ground level of the main house welcomes its guests with a large hallway, leading into a double height living room with a fireplace and direct access to terraces and the garden. Also on this level, you will find a large kitchen, a dining room, a double bedroom and a bathroom with shower. The first level includes a generous master bedroom, 2 guest double bedrooms, a guest bathroom and a shower room. The second level is completely dedicated to a sitting room with television with French windows to a covered loggia.
The gate house is set over two levels. The ground level offers an entrance hall, a kitchen and a garage with a separate entrance. The first level features a double bedroom, a bathroom, a small living room, a twin room and a separate shower room.
The pool house has a small living room and a shower room on the ground level and a double bedroom on the first level.
Villa’ exterior invites you into the idyllic Italian setting with all amenities at hand. Guests can relax around the 12m x 6m pool, enjoy savory Italian dishes under the covered pool loggia equipped with a bread oven and a barbecue grill and organize a romantic breakfast at the table just outside the kitchen. The property offers garage and parking for up to 3 cars and can be accessed via the entry gate with an illuminated driveway.
The villa is a part of a very private estate and nature reserve of about 2,700 acres on the borders of Umbria and Tuscany. Distributed widely apart amongst the olive groves, vineyards and lush Mediterranean oak and chestnut woods are 50 farmhouses, of which almost half have been renovated to create excellent private homes designed to the highest international standards. The estate is a unique combination of world class service and a high level of privacy and security.
The estate provides full service including in-house cooking, personal drivers and daily maid service, with every house having its own maid and gardener. The facilities include horse riding and training, tennis, mountain biking and clay pigeon shooting. Classic Italian food can be enjoyed at the private estate restaurant or ordered from the house menu and wine list with delivery to the house or to the poolside.
