luxury apartment for sale Bagnoregio, Italy

Civita di Bagnoregio, perched on a tufa cliff rising from a plateau surrounded by deep ravines, is a captivating Italian period hamlet. With 2,500 years of history, it is an authentic, well-preserved jewel of ochre-walled medieval dwellings and Renaissance architecture, accessible only by a suspended footbridge. This remarkable example of human ingenuity has long defied the challenges of its iconic 'badlands valley' terrain. Entering through the Gothic portal, you are enveloped in a timeless atmosphere, akin to an open-air museum. In this perfectly preserved gem, we offer for sale a maisonette on the top two floors of a quaint medieval building. Meticulously renovated with conservative restoration, it blends contemporary comforts with historic charm, featuring exposed ancient tuff walls. An outdoor staircase, shared with a neighbor, leads to an airy living room with a fireplace and open kitchen/dining area. The upper floor has two bedrooms and a bathroom: a twin room overlooking a back alley and a bright, sunset-exposed double room with spectacular views. This apartment is also a profitable holiday rental. Civita di Bagnoregio has inspired artists from the Renaissance to Romanticism and modern filmmakers. Now a haven for intellectuals and creatives, it hosts major cultural events and is being considered for UNESCO World Heritage status.
