Description of buildings Although its origins are lost in time, the first official news of the house-fortress from which Villa Piccolomini originated dates back to the mid-14th century when the Tibaldeschi family obtained the property from the Bishop of Ascoli Piceno in perpetual emphyteusis. As a setting of many historical events, such as the conspiracy against Pope Urban VIII, this villa was home to some of the most influential families of that time, from Cardinal Centini to the Piccolomini. Over the years, it went through periods of splendour and neglect before undergoing a recent renovation. Hic secura quies, hic pax, hic gaudia vera (Here is quiet, here is peace, here is true joy). This motto carved in stone on the entrance door reflects the true essence of Villa Piccolomini. Spirituality permeates this place. You can feel the vibrations of the prominent people who formerly resided here and commoners and farmers who used to flock to the villa at the end of the 1800s for the Perdonanza fair, held in the property's courtyard and gardens. The buildings cover a net area of more than 1,600 square meters that include the main villa, guest annex, an independent apartment for the janitor, and the private chapel, plus accessory spaces serving the swimming pool and the garage.

A large block of Carrara marble with delicate veining and warm tones was used to clad the bathrooms and its accessories. The ceilings' original frescoes were renovated, whereas other living areas have been embellished with William Xerra's paintings and polychrome ceramic tiles handmade by Cleto Capponi inspired by Renaissance motifs and local rural life.
