Description

The Villa – the main house - occupies four storeys, for an overall gross area of 1065 sqm. It retains the original characteristics of its period.

The main entrance, with accesses from the northern and southern sides, leads into all the different rooms on the ground floor: a large dining room and other rooms currently used by the hotel, including a kitchen. On the main floor, to which one arrives by climbing a majestic wooden flight of stairs, are the dining room with a fireplace, the billiard room, the living room with a fireplace, an office, a drawing room, a kitchen, a bedroom and a bathroom.
The second floor is dedicated exclusively to sleeping quarters, with 8 bedrooms and two bathrooms. The third floor is the attic, made into 7 rooms, which were originally the servants' quarters.
The double inner stairs provide each floor with an area destined to the owners and another to the servants.

All the other buildings are located around the main house:

·facing the lemon garden, a building that occupies two stories, for a total of 200 gross sqm, with a covered arcade. Part of the building is the lemon garden itself, while the remaining parts are used as service areas for the garden and the nearby pool;

·nearby, next to a lovely hedge labyrinth, there is a warehouse of about 50 gross sqm, which could be converted into a house, obviously in accordance with an urbanization plan;

·behind the main house there are two interconnected buildings, both ancient. The first, nearest the main house, consists of a single apartment on two levels, with the kitchen, dining room, living room and bathroom on the ground floor and another kitchen/living room with a large fireplace, 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms on the first floor;

Outdoor space

The property is surrounded by about 9 hectares of land, three of which make up the park, enclosed by a solid wall. The park is another strong asset of this magnificent property: part of it is accurately managed following the typical schemes of an Italian garden, while the remaining area is grass-covered. The park is criss-crossed by paths and narrow roads, hedges that offer privacy while marking boundaries, ancient low stone walls that used to separate the inhabited parts of the property from the areas used for agriculture.

Near the swimming pool and the lemon gardens there is a lovely wood, while the patio has two fountains, different in appearance and material.The property has two entrances: the main entrance is protected by a majestic cast iron gate, while the other leads into a stately tree- and hedge-lined alley, which in turn gives access to the area behind the main house.

Usage and potential

Thanks to its location, very close to Perugia and equidistant from the other main historical cities in Umbria and Tuscany, this property can clearly maintain its vocation as a hotel, which is its current use.

It could also be used as private residence.

It should be emphasized that the Villa has a series of interesting tax incentives, on the acquisition as well as for renting if used as a hotel.
