Exclusive 12th-century estate with 10 apartments, 20 bedrooms, park, pool, and tennis court in the Umbrian countryside
Historic estate for sale in Corciano, Perugia. A restored 12th-century castle-turned-resort with 10 apartments, 20 bedrooms, a park, a pool, a tennis court, and an agritourism license.
General Description:
Nestled in the picturesque Umbrian countryside, on the border with Tuscany and just 10 minutes from Perugia, this historic estate stands as a centuries-old residence, beautifully restored into a luxury resort with an agritourism license.
Located in a dominant position at 280 meters a.s.l., the property offers breathtaking views over the Caina River valley. The estate extends over 2.8 hectares (6.9 acres) of private parkland and is just 6 km from Corciano, one of Italy’s Most Beautiful Borgos, and 15 km from Lake Trasimeno.
Originally built as a defensive castle in 1100 over the remains of a Roman fortress, the property still retains its medieval bastion shape and natural stone facades. Over the centuries, it underwent significant transformations: in the 1500s, it likely housed a convent with a church and a refectory, while in the 18th century, it was transformed into an elegant four-story country villa. The estate features a three-arched portico leading into an inner courtyard, paved with handmade terracotta tiles in a herringbone pattern, adding to its historical charm.
A meticulous restoration has divided the estate into 10 independent apartments with 20 bedrooms in total, offering a perfect setting for hospitality, retreats, or a boutique agritourism business.
Interior Description:
The estate’s interiors reveal a thousand years of history, featuring vaulted ceilings, some adorned with exposed brick, others showcasing traditional wooden beams, and handmade terracotta flooring. Many walls preserve historic paintings and ancient altars, reflecting the property’s religious past.
The main villa houses eight apartments with a total of 16 bedrooms, each with its own unique architectural charm. The ground floor features a loggia, a studio/office, and several storage rooms.
The lower level boasts a stunning banqueting hall, formerly a refectory, featuring three central brick archways, a fireplace, and direct access to the garden, making it a perfect tavern with a full kitchen and a bathroom.
The former barn, a separate building within the estate, has been converted into two additional apartments, each offering two bedrooms.
Exterior Description:
The estate is fully fenced and surrounded by lush greenery, including a vineyard planted with white grape varieties, an olive grove, and a beautifully manicured park.
A swimming pool with sunbathing areas offers relaxation with panoramic countryside views, while a tennis court provides recreational activities for guests. The courtyard, with its 1759-dated entrance gate and a decorative tile depicting the Virgin Mary and Baby Jesus, enhances the property’s rich historical ambiance.
