Incredible, elegantly and meticulously restored castle in glorious Umbrian countryside.
Breathtaking, restored castle situated in idyllic countryside between the famous Reschio and Antignollo estates in Umbria. This beautifully restored castle dates to 1359 and is one of the most well-preserved in Umbria. Now a private residence and stately home, it is close to the pretty town of Umbertide and within around a 40 minute drive from both Lake Trasimeno and Perugia. A great location from which to explore all that this wonderful area has to offer (if you can drag yourself away!). As soon as you walk through the ancient carriage doors you are transported into another world. A stone-paved road, once used by horses and carriages leads to to a wide, vaulted tunnel and through this are the incredible views over the fields and woodland. Manicured grounds and gardens surround the castle and at a lower level, on the edge of the olive grove, is the panoramic, infinity heated pool, again with gorgeous views. A short walk from the pool through beautiful garden is the recently built walled tennis court with a little pavilion. Above the tennis court is an enchanting, illuminated tree-house that can host more than 20 people, perfect for dinner parties. The Castle Main Building (approx.1,325 sqm): consists of 4 main floors accessed by a beautiful old brick and stone staircase. 1st floor: billiard room, library, huge living room (115 sqm) with lovely stone fireplace.
