9 bedrooms palace, 850 m²

Todi, Perugia (province)

Beautiful substantial property of 900sqm housed in an independent palace for sale in the centre of the historic medieval hill town of Todi. This stunningly appointed period property is situated on one of the principle residential streets of the city, just a five-minute stroll from the bustling town square, the Piazza del Popolo.  The property has recently been improved through the addition of a new roof, constructed in traditional style.  The entire property has been lovingly and sympathetically renovated by the present owners, who run the property as a guest house.  While the layout and scale of the property lends itself to use as a guest house or boutique hotel, the house could readily be used as a large private residence for a family who enjoy receiving visitors.  Alternatively, the property could be divided into separate apartments or would work very well as a location for retreat centre for any number of purposes, including art, cuisine or language courses.  The property is set on three levels, a top floor comprised of six good-sized bedrooms, all beautifully presented, and each equipped with a bathroom.  One of the bedrooms is a very large suite, while another has a separate kitchen.  Each bedroom offers lovely country views.  The top floor also contains a communal kitchen and seating area.  The middle floor is comprised of two further large bedrooms, two substantial bathrooms, a large lounge with an elegant wood-burner, a charming country kitchen, and a number of smaller rooms.  This level is currently used as a private residence and is accessed from street level, via a pretty vicolo.  A large entrance hallway provides access to both the middle and top floors. Stunning original ceilings featuring large original wooden beams can be found throughout the building, while each of the two residential floors have underfloor heating, which can be controlled from every room.  All living areas have immaculate terracotta tile flooring.  The bottom floor is made up of a number of empty rooms, each of which are clean, painted and ready to be used as the new owner sees fit.  These rooms include a large street fronted area that could readily serve as a shop or other commercial usage.  These can be accessed internally and externally The property has a private back garden of some 4000sm, which has been partially landscaped, includes a pretty terrace, and provides space for parking.
