13th Century church and 18th century Farmhouse In Umbria. Nestled in a peaceful Umbrian valley surrounded by meadows, vineyards, olive groves and woodland, This rare and outstanding property sits in a private Estate amongst the vineyards and just a short walk to the Estate winery and first class restaurant, an enchanting countryside retreat that blends deep history with refined comfort. The property consists of an 13th-century church and an 18th-century farmhouse, both lovingly restored to the highest standard. Purchased in 2009 and brought back to life with great care, vision, authenticity representing timeless Italian charm.
The heart of the property is the 134 square meter ancient church, now transformed into a magnificent living space that preserves its spiritual tranquility. Its original architecture has been carefully revealed, including the discovery of a small crypt, and the space now houses a large, well-equipped kitchen, a dining room, and an impressive main living area. Floor-to-ceiling windows open onto un-spoilt classical Umbrian views, while the atmosphere remains magically peaceful, perfect for reading, relaxing, yoga and especially for hosting friends and family.
The restored farmhouse of 340 square meters accommodates up to fourteen family and friends, five bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, two single bedrooms and one double bedroom sharing a bathroom. Each room combines rustic character with elegant design stone walls, reclaimed terracotta floors and beamed ceilings giving a warm peaceful atmosphere. Several bedrooms enjoy private terraces with panoramic views. One of the ground floor suites is designed for disabled access another with a free-standing bath and the principal bedroom with a fireplace and private terrace. All six double bedrooms and the kitchen are air-conditioned. The entrance to the farmhouse boasts a feature stone flying staircase to the lower and upper floor with arches and a brick vaulted ceiling.
The outdoor areas are equally impressive, covering 3.77 hectares (9.32 acres), this includes a truffle wood of 2.7 hectares (6.67 acres) and landscaped gardens overflowing with lavender, rosemary and olive trees. Stone terraces and pergola-shaded dining areas provide ideal settings for alfresco meals, while a peaceful courtyard with its round table is perfect for an evening aperitivo. A small pond with a fountain adds a tranquil touch, and a vegetable garden supplies fresh produce for the kitchen.
A Roman-style walkway lined with cypress and holly oak trees leads to the 15 x 5.5-metre swimming pool, surrounded by lawns and sun loungers. With a shallow children’s section, shaded pergola, outdoor shower and a pool house equipped with a fridge and restroom, the pool area offers complete comfort and seclusion.
Beyond the garden boundaries, the estate’s farmland thrives once again under organic cultivation, with vineyards of Sangiovese, Sagrantino and Merlot, century-old olive groves and alfalfa meadows. A nearby dam and private lake, home to wild carp, enhances the property’s harmony with nature.

Access is via a quiet gravel road, and Antognolla Golf Club, one of Italy’s finest courses, is just a ten-minute drive away.
