luxury architect villa for sale Città di Castello, Italy

Hidden among the gentle hills of the Upper Tiber Valley, this refined Renaissance hamlet, built around an ancient 16th-century military tower and masterfully restored, now stands as a true oasis of charm, comfort, and Italian art. It is a place where history meets modern comfort, where every stone bears the breath of centuries, and every corner is filled with harmony and light. The estate encompasses approximately 1,200 square meters of living space and is spread across 40,000 square meters of land, with manicured gardens, silvery olive groves, and exquisite panoramic views, providing a complete sense of peace and privacy. The complex comprises six independent residences, four houses, and two cottages, housing 15 bedrooms and 15 bathrooms. Each room has a private entrance, a fully equipped kitchen, bright living rooms, and a private outdoor space for relaxation. The layout, which preserves the spirit of the medieval settlement, creates a picturesque ensemble: stone courtyards, arched loggias, terraces overlooking the valley, ancient staircases and mysterious alleys leading to enchanting views and quiet corners. Of particular value is the consecrated chapel of Saint Lucia, dating back to 1707, with its original monolithic altar, a rare monument of spiritual architecture that allows weddings and intimate celebrations to be held here in an atmosphere of exceptional beauty. Common areas include a panoramic swimming pool with a solarium area, relaxation and barbecue areas surrounded by greenery, and ample parking for guests. The interiors carefully preserve the historic aura of the borgo: antique terracotta tiles, hand-carved wooden beams, stone walls, and authentic fireplaces, combined with modern engineering solutions, independent heating, and fully equipped kitchens. Each room has been meticulously designed to create an atmosphere of harmony, comfort, and inspiring luxury. This unique estate is ideal for exclusive retreats and private audiences, as well as themed workshops, cultural events, and celebrations. The property already operates successfully as a luxury boutique complex, offering private stays, individual residence rentals, or complete reservations of the entire borgo.
