Italy, Umbria - We are pleased to be able to offer for sale an enchanting villa with swimming pool and dependance in Avigliano Umbro - About 30 years ago the current owners, after having spent their holidays in a property in the far north of Sardinia, they were looking for a real estate investment that had the following characteristics: Easy connection with Rome at any time of the year; Uncontaminated and favorable environment for the best relaxation; Proximity to centers of high artistic and cultural interest for short excursions; Possibility of reaching the most important cities in the north center in a few hours. The publication of a research produced by an American university, had classified Todi as the most livable city in Italy, led them to focus their research in this district, where they came into contact with a member of the Corsini family of Florence, owner of 400 years of a vast farm around the Sismano Castle. The negotiations were not easy, as in the same period both one of the best-known entrepreneurs in the Italian sports federations and the best-known national pop music composer had expressed an interest in purchasing the same area identified, looking for a area where to set up a European music center. Having passed this competition and proceeded to purchase an area of approx. 13 hectares with overhanging 2 buildings, the owners began to put their hands on costly conversion work of the farmhouses (the main building had been abandoned for years) into a manor house. Completed the fencing of the entire property and the creation of a new access road, it was maintained on approx. 8 hectares the agricultural destination, which allows you to take advantage of community contributions, while the remaining land has been transformed into a luxuriant park with the planting of hundreds of tall trees (including over 200 olive trees) and flowering plants, with a prevalence of roses.

Ancient towers built in medieval times, between the 10th and 11th centuries, and used to control the valley crossed by the Tiber river, disputed between the cities of Todi and Orvieto. These two structures then passed into the hands of the religious order of the Camaldolese in the 17th century, until Napoleon expropriated them in the 19th century in 1800 and then became the property of the Cathedral. Expertly restored, one in 2009 and the other in 2013 with the help of the Superintendency of Cultural Heritage, they now house two fascinating homes, immersed in a timeless landscape. In the largest tower, of approx. 243 m2, spread over four levels, all connected by the lift, we find a large living area with kitchen and dining area, bathroom and study. On the ground floor and first floor we find another living room, two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The main room is a large suite where the Middle Ages with its slits merges with the Art Nouveau style. Every stone and every niche have been preserved to remember the history of the buildings; through careful study the spaces have been expertly optimized, creating comfortable and bright environments. The other tower, of approximately 170 m2, is spread over three levels; here there is a large living area with fireplace and private access to the outside, kitchen and bathroom on the ground floor, two bedrooms on the first floor and a master bedroom on the second floor.
