The hills of Romagna have a particular quality of light in the early evening — warm, unhurried, the kind that makes you forget what you were supposed to be doing. This Stonewater Sanctuary sits in that light, on a low hill above Forlimpopoli, two kilometres from the medieval borgo of Bertinoro, and it has been doing so since the 17th century.The estate was built on — and named after — an ancient Roman thermal site along the Via Consolare. Consuls once stopped here. The instinct to pause, to restore, to take the long view across the plain to the Adriatic, seems to be written into the land itself.The main villa, restored with patience and an evident commitment to quality, moves across three floors without ever feeling rushed. Ground floor rooms flow into one another in the way old Italian houses do at their best — salon with fireplace, formal dining room, a kitchen that opens directly onto a loggia with an outdoor table and a brick barbecue that has clearly seen serious use. A self-contained guesthouse sits discreetly within the structure, with its own entrance should privacy be preferred.Upstairs, seven bedrooms occupy the first floor, anchored by two principal suites with walk-in closets and bathrooms finished with Jacuzzi and shower. Two of the smaller rooms connect internally — useful, and quietly considered. The attic holds one final room, alone above everything, with the kind of silence that is increasingly hard to find.What distinguishes this estate from others of comparable scale is the annex — a contemporary building reached from the main villa through a vaulted underground tunnel. The transition is deliberate: stone, shadow, then the sudden arrival into a room built around a 60 m² indoor pool, mosaic-lined, heated, with large windows that look out across the garden and the outdoor pool beyond. A bar, lounge areas and a gym; a sauna and Turkish bath; a professional kitchen. The annex works as a self-contained world, and the tunnel connecting it to the 17th-century villa is, in its way, the most honest summary of what this property is: two centuries in conversation.Outside, a 120 m² pool occupies the formal garden, reached from the rose garden above by a marble staircase with water flowing along both sides. The 1.4-hectare park is Italian garden design done with genuine care — linden avenues, fountains, terraced viewpoints, the Adriatic visible on clear days. Nearly 10 hectares of vineyard and agricultural land extend beyond, currently leased, with room to develop further.This is Emilia-Romagna at its most considered: the food, the landscape, the light, and now, available for the right custodian, one of its finest private estates.Forlì Airport is twelve minutes away, Bologna is just over an hour and the Adriatic coast is twenty.

For those who seek the perfect fusion of timeless elegance and modern comfort, this 17th-century estate nestled in the rolling hills of Emilia-Romagna is an exquisite sanctuary like no other. Comprising a stately villa, a dependance with both indoor and outdoor pools, and approximately 10 hectares of parkland adorned with vineyards and olive groves, this property is the very embodiment of Italian artistry. The creation of a visionary mind, this estate is an ode to Italico estro—that uniquely Italian creative flair—offering a transcendent journey through time, from the Roman era to the present day. Every salon, corridor, bedroom and bath whispers stories of a millenary past that comes alive within these walls. The estate is composed of the main villa, a dedicated wellness dependance, and an additional annex whose future purpose awaits the discerning eye of its next custodian. With every detail curated to captivate the senses—light, space, texture, scent—the villa offers not just a place to live, but a way of life. Here, one might begin the day with sweeping vineyard views and end it in the steamy calm of a Turkish bath, all within the sanctuary of one’s own home. The Villa Painstakingly restored over several years, the 17th-century villa has been reborn through a relentless pursuit of excellence. Every choice—be it handcrafted terracotta flooring, fine marbles, noble woods, or intricate mosaics—was guided by the highest standards. Contemporary artists were commissioned to adorn the interiors with frescoes and bespoke finishes, weaving the past and present into a living masterpiece. The main residence, including its luxurious dependance, spans approximately 1.900 sq.m. across three levels: Ground Floor: The villa enjoys three separate entrances and a flowing layout that elegantly connects its internal spaces: an expansive living room with adjoining dining area, a fully equipped kitchen opening onto a loggia with an outdoor dining area and built-in barbecue, a cloakroom, laundry room, guest WC, a second bathroom with shower, a double bedroom, a cosy sitting room, and a secondary kitchen. First Floor: Accessed via three separate staircases, the upper level features an extraordinary master suite complete with walk-in wardrobe, a bathroom with whirlpool tub and shower, and access to a panoramic terrace. This floor also includes a private study, four further bedrooms, four additional bathrooms, a kitchen and two spacious sitting rooms, one of which opens onto a grand panoramic terrace. Thanks to its thoughtful layout, the villa may function as three independent apartments or as one expansive family residence, being all areas interconnected. Attic Floor: Comprises several attic rooms and a bathroom with bathtub. From the ground floor living area, a dramatic tunnel leads from the classical wing to the villa’s modern counterpart, culminating in a spectacular indoor swimming pool (12 × 5 metres), finished in gleaming mosaic and fully heated. This serene space is surrounded by vast glass walls offering uninterrupted views of the landscaped park and the adjoining outdoor pool, giving the illusion of a single, continuous aquatic expanse when the large windows are opened. The living areas here boast a stylish bar, a fully equipped gym, sauna and Turkish bath—creating an indulgent wellness retreat within the home. Water, as a symbolic and literal element, pervades the estate—echoing the site’s ancient past, where Roman consular baths once stood along the historic road. On the first floor of this modern wing are a double bedroom, a twin bedroom and two elegant shower rooms. The Annex Measuring approximately 350 sq.m. over two floors, the annex is restored to a builder’s finish and currently comprises a large storage on the ground level, while the first floor remains unfinished and empty, presenting a blank canvas for the future owner. Whether envisioned as a workshop, private cinema, guest apartment or staff quarters, this structure offers unparalleled flexibility. The Land The estate’s 10 hectares of grounds are a triumph of landscape design and agricultural elegance: 1.5 hectares of enclosed Italian gardens have been meticulously laid out in classical late-Renaissance style. Statues, urns, fountains, watercourses, staircases and shaded pergolas adhere to geometric harmony and symmetry, creating an environment as meditative as it is magnificent. A long, tree-lined avenue—lit by ornate lanterns—leads from the main gate to the northern façade of the villa, where a grand fountain welcomes you into a parkland of wonder and refinement. The gardens are arranged across three tiers, featuring broad avenues, lush lawns, majestic terracotta planters and scenic openings that frame views of rolling hills, vineyards, and, in the distance, the sparkling Adriatic coast. A splendid 130 sq.m. mosaic-tiled swimming pool lies at the heart of the grounds, bordered by a generous sun deck furnished with loungers and parasols. A marble staircase flanked by two flowing streams descends from the rose garden atop a hill, where floral splendour and fragrant air enhance the estate’s idyllic charm.

Located in the heart of Cortona, this exclusive four-star hotel offers 25 elegant rooms with breathtaking views of the surrounding hills and Lake Trasimeno. The building, converted in 2001 from a sumptuous 18th-century villa, is enriched with frescoes from a 14th-century church, giving it a unique historical atmosphere. For years, the property has been dedicated to tourist hospitality, specialising in banquets, conferences and overnight stays. The structure also offers the possibility of developing an individual catering branch, thanks to its generous and charming spaces, all interconnected and equipped with the necessary services. The villa is strategically located, ideal for exploring the wonders of Tuscany and Umbria, with places such as Arezzo, Florence, Siena, Montepulciano, Assisi and Perugia within easy reach. Cortona is at the centre of a world-renowned historical and cultural heritage. The building has four floors, a basement and two gardens, perfect for relaxing outdoors. On the ground floor, guests can enjoy the living area with reception, breakfast rooms and restaurant, professional kitchens and bar area. The upper floors house the bedrooms and service rooms, connected by a modern lift and a beautiful sandstone staircase. The basement floor includes storage areas, staff changing rooms with independent entrance and technical rooms. An additional advantage is the private garage, a rare convenience for accommodation facilities in the area. The renovation work has preserved the historic charm, equipping the rooms with high standards of efficiency and comfort. The 245 m² terrace, connected to the adjoining portion, offers an ideal space to enjoy the open air and tranquillity of the village. Each room is decorated and frescoed by hand, with air conditioning, mini bar, satellite TV, telephone with LAN network, internet connection, safe and en-suite bathroom with whirlpool bath or emotional shower. The common areas reflect elegance and refinement, with blown glass chandeliers, medieval stone inserts, trompe-l'œil, friezes and Tuscan terracotta floors. The furnishings consist of fine antiques and precious fabrics, while the bathrooms are designed in a classic style. The heating is independent and adjustable for each room. This charming villa is located on the ruins of the historic Church of Madonna degli Alemanni, a place of worship with deep roots in local tradition. According to legend, the church takes its name from a colony of Germanic soldiers who camped near Cortona during the Crusades, giving rise to a small but significant religious centre. In the 14th century, a new church was built, richly frescoed and home to the venerated statue of the Madonna della Manna, now preserved in Cortona Cathedral. However, with the increase in the number of worshippers, the church became insufficient and, in 1730, it was decided to demolish it to make way for a new structure, which was completed in ten years. In 1786, by order of Grand Duke Leopold of Tuscany, the church was demolished again and replaced by the current manor house, an architectural masterpiece that retains the charm of history. The hotel lobby occupies the area that was once the church, while the oratory is located on the lower floor, accessible via a staircase connecting the two levels. The villa not only offers a unique investment opportunity in the tourism sector, but also preserves precious historical elements. These include two Gothic capitals and two frescoes dating back to the 14th and 16th centuries, originally located on the north wall of the current buffet room, now housed by the Institute of the Sisters Servants of Mary Reparatrix. This property represents a perfect combination of history, culture and commercial potential, making it an unmissable opportunity for those wishing to invest in a prestigious property in the heart of Tuscany.
