Pietralunga, Umbria, ItalyIn the beautiful hills of the green heart of Italy, on the border of Umbria and Le Marche, lies this fully restored sixteenth-century estate. The surrounding sixteen hectares of forest and meadow beckon you outside every morning, perfect for leisurely walks in complete peace and quiet where you often encounter deer or foxes.For centuries, the property served as a large farmhouse for a farming family. After undergoing a complete internal restoration, it has operated for the past 12 years as a small hotel with a restaurant for guests. Due to its various communal spaces, it has also been frequently rented out for weddings, workshops, and family events. The possibilities are diverse: utilizing the villa for commercial purposes or making it available as private property for family use, with the option to invite various guests. Given the space available, guests have a luxurious private residence, but they also have the opportunity to dine together with a large group of thirty people in the charming dining room or outdoors under the veranda with breathtaking views. Additionally, there is an original pizza oven and grill.Villa and Studio:The estate consists of a "Casa Padronale" (the villa) with six luxury rooms with bathrooms, three charming apartments, and a studio. Two of the three apartments are located in an authentic building next to the villa, and the comfortable studio stands freely on the estate. The living space of the three aforementioned buildings is approximately 750 square meters. Furthermore, the villa is equipped with a beautiful office annex reception. In the original kitchen, there is a library/lounge with a large authentic fireplace. On the ground floor, there is a spacious professional kitchen and a very charming restaurant created from the former authentic stables. There is also a playground for children, ample parking, and a beautiful large swimming pool with various terraces spread across the entire property.Well Preserved:Unique to the villa, situated on a hilltop with impressive views, is that it has been very well preserved over the years. The original structure, built of natural stone and thick oak beams, is still fully intact. Little of its authenticity has been lost. The oldest part of the building dates back to the year 1000. The Maltese cross, present above one of the old entrances, indicates that the Crusaders previously visited this property as a resting place during their various expeditions. Additionally, there are still old niches, stairs, arches, a family chapel, and many other original and historical details present. It exudes a centuries-long history. The other part of the uniqueness of this property lies precisely in the fact that it has been completely renovated internally and equipped with all modern comforts and luxuries, without compromising the value of the historical elements.Surroundings:Umbria, also known as the green heart of Italy, is overflowing with breathtaking beautiful views. The region borders the Apennines to the east and the area is rugged and rugged. The green region is sandwiched between Tuscany and Le Marche. Here, the third university city in Italy is located: Perugia, a city famous for its chocolate. Also world-famous is Assisi, the birthplace of Saint Francis, from whom the current pope derives his name. Umbria is more modest than Tuscany, but equally worth visiting in every respect. This applies, for example, to Orvieto because of its wonderful location on a plateau and the beautiful Orvieto Classico wines, but also Città di Castello, Gubbio, and the easily accessible Le Marche cities of Urbino, Senegallia, and Fano are beautiful and definitely worth a visit.For golf enthusiasts, there is a phenomenal 18-hole golf course forty minutes' drive from the villa. Mountain and sports enthusiasts will find their calling in the nearby mountains, where various athletic challenges await them. Horse riding is possible in Pietralunga, as well as in Città di Castello. And nestled in the hills, you wouldn't expect the distance to the sea - the Adriatic coast - to be only forty minutes away!
