An ancient 17th-century convent transformed into a refined late-Renaissance villa, set within a landscaped park of about 2 hectares, an historic botanical heritage dominated by a majestic monumental oak tree, subject to academic publications. Located in the Alta Valtiberina, one of the most exclusive areas of Umbria, the property enjoys a hilltop position with a view of Città di Castello, renowned for the prestigious Burri Foundation's.
The main villa, spanning over 900 sqm across 4 levels, features elegant reception rooms that open onto the garden, and 6 bright en-suite bedrooms on the upper floors. The basement, with spaces vaulted in brick, evokes 15th-century atmospheres. Completing the property, the 18th-century wing houses an independent apartment with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a gym, while the ancient 19th-century caretaker's house includes garages and residential spaces to be restored. In the park, a stunning heated swimming pool with a gazebo and changing rooms offers modern comforts amidst a natural setting.
Built on the remains of a Roman domus dating back to the 2nd century BC, where a valuable mosaic protected by the Superintendence is preserved, the villa underwent an elegant restoration in the 1980s by Japanese architect Kazuhiro Takahama. His vision skillfully reinterpreted the residence, blending Renaissance elegance with the simplicity and delicacy of Asian architectural lines. The restoration preserved the original structure, characterized by a classic layout with symmetrically arranged rooms along the central axis, enhancing brightness and highlighting historic elements such as arches, vaults, and stuccoes, enriched by refined monochromatic tones and modern reinterpreted furnishings.
The result is a timeless luxury residence where tradition, innovation, and sustainability coexist harmoniously, creating spaces with luminous linear perspectives and evocative transparencies. A unique property, perfect both as a prestigious private residence and as an elegant hospitality venue. For further details and inquiries, please do not hesitate to contact us.
