The dreamy Umbrian hills frame this masterful 17th century residence, making a statement from the moment you pull into the private park.

Each room is imbued with timeless charm in its priceless custom details, marble floors, and silk wall coverings. On the property you also find a stately museum hosted in the old farm buildings where you can now admire the original use of the rooms and their ancient crafts.The ResidenceThis majestic 2202 sq.m. historical residence sits by a magical medieval hamlet nestled in the Umbrian hills.
