Unique Residence for Sale in Mantignana with Pool

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

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

The complex is situated on a hill at an altitude of 280 meters above sea level, offering breathtaking views of the Caina River valley. It is surrounded by a private park covering 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 visible in the massive natural stone facades retaining the shape of a bastion. Over time, the building evolved: in the 16th century, it is believed to have housed a monastery with a church and refectory, and by the mid-18th century, it was transformed into an elegant four-story country villa with a magnificent three-arched colonnade overlooking the inner courtyard paved in a herringbone pattern. Above the gates, the date 1759 and a ceramic depiction of the Virgin Mary with child have been preserved.

The villa's interiors retain the imprints of its centuries-old history: vaulted ceilings, some with charming brickwork, others with natural wood beams in a traditional rustic style. The floors are laid with handmade terracotta tiles. In certain rooms, ancient frescoes, altars, and niches have been preserved.

After meticulous and respectful restoration, the villa now houses eight apartments with 16 bedrooms, as well as a loggia, spacious office/study, and auxiliary rooms on the ground floor. The former monastic refectory in the basement 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 building, the former barn has been converted into two more apartments—each with two bedrooms and two bathrooms.

On the grounds: a well-maintained Mediterranean park, a large swimming 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.
