12 bedrooms villa, 1300 m²

Attigliano, Terni (province)

In the heart of southern Umbria, in Attigliano, on the border between Umbria and Lazio, stands this extraordinary historic palazzo set on a natural terrace overlooking the Tiber Valley.

With a total cadastral surface area of approximately 1,300 sqm, the property represents an authentic period residence encompassing more than four centuries of history, impeccably preserved and consistently enhanced over time.

The building is not merely a residence, but a layered architectural organism that narrates different eras. The oldest core dates back to the 17th century and retains highly evocative spaces, including a characteristic grotto and rooms originally used as storage and pantry areas. Between the 18th and 19th centuries, the palazzo acquired the grandeur and elegance that still distinguish it today: generous volumes, harmonious proportions, and the refined character typical of Umbrian noble residences.

In the 20th century, an additional wing and a new staircase were constructed, an intervention that also allowed the division into two separate units, increasing the property's layout versatility.

Over the years, the estate has benefited from continuous maintenance and conservation works. A significant structural renovation was carried out in 1980, including the restoration of façades, roof, and metalwork. Further modernization and restoration works were undertaken between 2005 and 2021, culminating in 2021 with the restoration of plasterwork, staircases, and the ancient main entrance door.

The interiors preserve their original charm, seamlessly integrated with modern comforts. The living areas feature expansive reception rooms with fully functional period fireplaces, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Original terracotta floors, restored in 2021, harmonize with decorated and frescoed ceilings that have been meticulously recovered.

On the first floor, the sleeping quarters are distinguished by refined olive wood parquet flooring, adding further prestige to the interiors. The property includes three bathrooms, fully renovated between 2005 and 2014, as well as a convenient laundry room on the ground floor.

The historic wooden window frames have undergone careful conservation restoration, while in 2014 grey aluminum shutters - some reinforced - were installed in full respect of the original aesthetic. The property is equipped with an alarm system, structurally sound floors regularly inspected over time, and high-quality finishes throughout.

A truly rare feature is the large flat garden of approximately 3,500 sqm surrounding the palazzo - an exceptional luxury for a property set within a historic context. Within the grounds lies a charming 19th-century stone fountain fed by one of the two active artesian wells (drilled in 1990 and 2020 respectively), ensuring constant irrigation through an automated system.

The estate also includes three additional buildings:

A large two-level structure, formerly a granary/garage, renovated in the 1980s;

A 35 sqm roadside warehouse with roof rebuilt in 2013, offering significant development potential, as it may be expanded and elevated to become a showroom, office, garage, or independent guest annex;

A further single-level storage building.

The location is another major strength. The palazzo is just minutes from Attigliano-Bomarzo railway station on the Rome-Florence line, with direct connections to Rome Termini, Orte, and Viterbo, and enjoys immediate access to the A1 motorway.

Rome is reachable in under one hour, while Orvieto and Viterbo are approximately 25 minutes away. Just 11 minutes from the property lies the renowned Parco dei Mostri di Bomarzo, as well as the cyclopean walls of Amelia and the principal art cities of Umbria and Lazio.

Thanks to its generous dimensions, spatial distribution, annexes, and expansive garden, the property lends itself to multiple uses. It could be transformed into an elegant boutique hotel or charming hospitality venue; it could host a high-end senior residence in a peaceful yet well-connected setting; or it may return to its original vocation as a prestigious private residence or representative headquarters, combining history, privacy, and architectural distinction.

A residence that has traversed great History intact and now presents itself in excellent condition, ready to begin a new chapter - whether as a high-profile entrepreneurial investment or as an exclusive representative estate in the heart of central Italy.
