Rustic Country House in Scenic Umbrian Countryside

Details

Nestled among the gentle hills on the border between Umbria and Tuscany, just minutes from Castiglione del Lago and Lake Trasimeno, this former 15th-century Olivetan monastery still carries the quiet light of the Italian countryside. Now an elegant boutique hotel, the estate unfolds across 1,420 sqm of interiors set within 12.24 hectares of land, where vineyards, olive groves and open fields shape the horizon. Arched stone passages and luminous reception rooms create a seamless dialogue with the surrounding landscape. The 16 bedrooms and 20 bathrooms are arranged across multiple buildings, carefully restored in 2014 and maintained in excellent condition, featuring radiator heating and air conditioning, internet connectivity and an energy performance rating of 69.96 kWh/sqm per year. The former chapel, now a refined leisure room, and the dining areas preserve the property’s monastic heritage while embracing contemporary hospitality. Opposite the main building, a 420 sqm private wellness centre offers a more secluded dimension, with sauna, Turkish bath, treatment rooms and an 8 x 5 metre heated indoor pool overlooking the rolling hills. A short walk through the landscaped park leads to the 14 x 7 metre outdoor swimming pool, complemented by a 60 sqm poolside canopy ideal for breakfasts and sunset aperitifs. A charming 25 sqm tree house with bedroom, bathroom and walk-in wardrobe adds a touch of suspended intimacy. The 3.00 hectares of olive groves with approximately 390–400 trees yield up to 600 kg of olive oil per year, while the 1.70 hectares of vineyards produce up to 7,000 bottles of Sangiovese and Merlot, blending hospitality with agricultural authenticity. Here, days unfold between ancient rituals and modern comfort: dawn light filtering through olive branches, the gentle shimmer of water, long dinners as the hills glow at sunset. Whether preserved as a thriving hospitality business or reimagined as a private estate of remarkable scale, this property offers a rare harmony where history, landscape and refined living converge.
