Finishes are entirely consistent with the identity of the property. The principal living areas feature exposed wooden beams; windows are wooden with double glazing, fitted with wrought-iron grilles and traditional shutters, and the internal doors are crafted from solid walnut.
External Areas
The estate extends over approximately 2 hectares of private land including landscaped gardens, olive grove, woodland and a dedicated vegetable garden.
The park is beautifully maintained, with expansive lawns, mature oak trees, perimeter hedges and a variety of shrubs. The Mediterranean woodland is equally well cared for and includes truffle grounds within the property.
The infinity swimming pool measures approximately 15 x 6.5 metres and is perfectly integrated into the garden, with terracotta-paved sun terrace.
Access is via an electric gate with video intercom opening onto a private driveway leading to the farmhouse and garage; a secondary service entrance is also present.
Use and Potential
Thanks to its panoramic setting and proximity to Spoleto, the property is ideally suited both as a primary residence and as an elegant countryside retreat for extended stays or holidays.
The setting offers privacy and tranquillity without isolation, combining natural beauty with convenient access to services and cultural infrastructure. The estate also lends itself to the high-end holiday rental market during periods of non-use, given its strategic position near Spoleto and other renowned historic centres of central Italy, highly sought after by international clientele.
