Unique Residence for Sale in Mantignana with Pool

A millennium-old residence of 1100 m², transformed into an elegant agritourism with 10 apartments and 20 bedrooms, a park, a pool, and a tennis court, is up for sale in Perugia.

Located on the border with Tuscany, just a ten-minute drive northwest of Perugia, amidst charming historical towns including Corciano, recognized as one of the most beautiful villages in Italy (only 6 km away), and close to the picturesque shores of Lake Trasimeno with its islands (15 km), lies this exceptional Santa Maria residence.

This remarkable complex stands on a hill, 280 meters above sea level, offering stunning views of the Caina River valley. It is surrounded by a private park of 2.3 hectares, fully enclosed and lush with greenery.

The history of the residence dates back to 1100, when a defensive castle was built on the site of a Roman fortification, elements of which are still distinctly visible in the massive natural stone facades that retain the form of a bastion. Over time, the structure evolved: in the 16th century, it likely housed a monastery with a church and refectory, and by the mid-18th century, the building was transformed into an elegant four-story country villa adorned with a magnificent three-arched colonnade leading to an inner courtyard paved with herringbone-patterned stone. Above the gates, the year 1759 and a ceramic image of the Virgin Mary with child are preserved.

The villa's interiors bear the imprint of a thousand-year history: vaulted ceilings with charming brickwork or natural wood beams in a traditional rustic style. The floors are entirely laid with handmade terracotta tiles. In certain rooms, ancient frescoes, altars, and niches have been preserved.

Following meticulous and careful restoration, the villa now houses eight apartments with 16 bedrooms, as well as a loggia, a spacious office/studio, and auxiliary rooms on the ground floor. In the basement, the former monastery refectory has been transformed into a majestic banquet hall with three brick arches and a fireplace—an ideal space for a tavern with a full kitchen, garden access, and a bathroom.

Next to the bastion, the former barn has been converted into two additional apartments—each with two bedrooms and two bathrooms.

On the grounds: a well-maintained Mediterranean park, a large pool, a tennis court, a small vineyard with white grape varieties, and an olive grove. The residence is fully ready for living and hosting guests.
