Main Features
Description
Built on the foundations of an ancient Roman watchtower, the main building of this large property was built in two phases, the first part in 850 AD (including the tower) and the second part in the 12th century.
In medieval times it was used as a military outpost, overlooking the valley. Over time it was transformed into a palace and a small private chapel was added together with a large farmhouse (approximately 500 sq m - not renovated) divided into stables and apartments for workers.
Situated in two hectares of mature parkland, a driveway of approximately 150 m opens onto a square in front of the manor house (approximately 1,400 sq m). The manor house has been completely renovated, retaining as many original features as possible and using carefully selected materials of the appropriate period.
On the ground floor there is a large entrance hall, two winter garden rooms, a large double reception room, a guest bathroom, a TV room, a double dining room, a kitchen and a pantry. There is also a small cellar where the original medieval urns are still visible and two small storage rooms. Space has also been created for a lift that will rise to the third floor.
The second floor has four double bedrooms each with its own bathroom. A reception room, a library, a small laundry room and two terraces.
The third floor houses a large studio-like living room, three further double bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, two closets, a billiard room, a small living area and in the tower a living room with a stunning view of the valley. From this room, climbing the ancient stone staircase, you reach a mezzanine and a terrace overlooking the gardens and the valley. From the terrace you enjoy a breathtaking view of the valley and the surrounding towns.
Completing the property are approximately 15 hectares between woodland and olive grove (600/700 trees) and a 400 sq m vegetable garden equipped with a spring, an iron and glass greenhouse and 4 caves used in antiquity as cellars for wine and oil.
A consecrated church is located on the access avenue as well as a dependance of approximately 400 sq m, patio and various gazebos in an oasis of greenery and tall trees.
In addition to the above, there are 15 hectares of woodland and olive grove (about 600 trees), a vegetable garden (400 sq m) with its own spring and a small greenhouse. There are also 4 caves carved into the rock, one of which was the old mill and the largest where you can still see the old wine barrels. The main house has 6 GPL boilers, two for each floor, for heating together with 2 ancient terracotta wood burners and 6 ancient fireplaces. All the doors in the house are antique as are the wooden ceilings and the terracotta ceiling. The built-in wardrobes were made using original wardrobes from the 16th and 17th centuries. The flooring on the ground floor is almost entirely basalt stone, except for the TV room, pantry and bathroom in terracotta and one of the winter garden rooms which is in pebbles. The second floor, which also has the master bedroom, has antique parquet flooring with stone flooring in the bathrooms. The third floor and the tower have a mixture of the above-mentioned floors.
This marvellous property is located at the crossroads of upper Lazio, Umbria and Tuscany, in an area steeped in history and art. It is in the famous Calanchi Park, in front of Cività di Bagnoregio, the 'dying city', 20 km from Orvieto, just one hour from Rome and one and half hours from Florence and is easily reached from the A1 motorway.
