The apartment is on top of a hill in the midst of a large valley. The hill is between Perugia and Chiusi Scalo in Tuscany, 16 km from Perugia and 30 from Chiusi Scalo. The apartment and its private garden have an astonishing view on the valley and on  Perugia. It is part of the HOA (Home Owners Association) of Castello Monticelli, a numer of buildings the majority of which are listed by the Italian Government, since the oldest ones are over 1400 years old and since they have a rich history.                                                The apartments of the HOA are 26. They are distributed across several buildings, which are all closeby and which are  surrounded by 8.000 m2 of common gardens and terraces, 2 parking lots and 2 pools. Please search the web site of Castello Monticelli with Google .                                                                                    The apartment is composed of 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms on the 1st floor, a large living room and 1 bathroom on the ground floor. In the living there is a chimney and an elegant kitchenette. It has a private garden of 120 m2. It is well suited  both for a holiday home and for a permanent residence.                          The buyer of the  apartment will also become the owner of a share in the common properties of the HOA. Its careful restoration was finished in 2014. Out of  the 26 apartments, 20 are listed. Castello Monticelli was originally a byzantine fortress at the border of the Eastern Roman Empire with the Langobards, then a benedictine monastery for about 500 years and finally a summer and hunting residence of noble families. On the hill there is a chapel built before the year 1115 with beautiful frescoes painted in 1315-19 by Meo da Siena, an artist who has a whole room dedicated to him both in the National Gallery of Perugia and in the Städen Museum in Frankfurt, Germany. Castello Monticelli is also indicated in the  map of Tuscany and Umbria on the walls of the Vatican Museums, perhaps because in the summer of 1450 one of the greatest popes of the catholic church, Nicholas V,  lived in it for several months.                                                          8 other apartments are being sold by the same owner, the net size of which varies between 43 and 110 m2. Their prices vary between € 255.000 and € 550.000
