Description
Nestled amidst the rolling hills of the Tuscan-Umbrian border, this exquisite property, currently operating as a boutique hotel, offers a unique blend of historic charm and modern luxury. Spanning an impressive 1,420 square meters, the estate is meticulously divided across multiple buildings, providing an abundance of space for relaxation and entertainment.
Renovated in 2014, this property requires no further interventions, although there are plans to reduce the number of rooms in favor of creating more spacious and livable master bedrooms. Additionally, a redecoration project is in the works, aiming to infuse the interiors with a country-chic style, in collaboration with top architects and interior designers. An interesting detail is that the property was once an Olivetans monastery.
This magnificent estate offers an unparalleled combination of luxurious living, historic charm, and agricultural productivity. Whether envisioned as a private residence or a thriving accommodation business, this property provides a unique opportunity to experience the beauty and tranquility of Umbria.

These elegant spaces flow into a bright and spacious veranda on the right side of the main building, offering a seamless connection to the outdoor garden and making this area enjoyable in every season. On the left side of the ground floor lies the ancient chapel of the monastery, now repurposed into a hobby room complete with bookshelves and a billiards table, creating a perfect retreat for leisure activities.
Ascending the beautiful stone staircase to the first floor, one will find a dedicated sleeping area. This level features several well-appointed bedrooms, a magnificent central salon with a fireplace, and access to one of the terraces, providing breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape.
For those seeking physical and mental rejuvenation, the property boasts a private wellness center (420 sqm – 4,519 sqft) located in an annex directly opposite the main entrance.
