Centrally located between Assisi, Orvieto, Spoleto, Perugia, Florence, San Gimignano, Siena and Cortona, this property sits on a hilltop above Umbertide and offers the opportunity to live in the peaceful and private atmosphere of the Umbrian countryside yet coupled with easy accessibility to the numerous historic towns of Umbria and Tuscany.
This private, gated Estate consists of many buildings, as follows:
a) Monastero (420, 91 square metres-4530 square feet) is an amalgam of many historic parts constructed over a 500 to 600 years period. It is said that the Hermitic monks were here long before the stone structures. The monastery is laid out on three floors and comprises nine guest rooms and bathrooms, TV room, computer station, a dining room/library, bar, kitchen and a vast living room in the former chapel.

d) Half way up the driveway from the main gates is Tonino (33,98 square metres-365,77 square feet), a small cottage that once housed 6 people, but now only two, with a bedroom, a bathroom and kitchen/living area.

f) Studio (18,57 square metres-199,90 square feet), a smaller, private caretakers’ cottage. Casetta includes two bedrooms and two bathrooms; the Studio, a single studio of bedroom, bathroom and kitchen.

The land includes 66 olive trees, 43 chestnut trees and a variety of fruit trees.
Just outside the estate, there is a large church ruin, which has led to speculation that buildings relate back to the Templar movement.
