Historic Luxury Villa in the Heart of Umbria

Description

This magnificent property is located in the heart of Umbria, in Pila, a village located a short distance from Perugia. The location is highly suggestive and strategic, offering easy access to art cities such as Assisi, Spoleto, Siena, Florence, and Rome, making it an ideal choice for those who want to live immersed in the history and natural beauty of central Italy.
The current configuration of the villa is the result of a project carried out by the architect Ugo Tarchi, who reinterpreted in an innovative way the Roman and Tuscan architectural models of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. One of the most distinctive features of the property is the stone tower, added to the original structure, topped by a belvedere that offers a breathtaking view of the surrounding plain, the hills of Assisi and Perugia, and all the way to Lake Trasimeno, creating an enchanting panorama.
The origins of the villa date back to the fifteenth century, when it was built around a watchtower. In the 1700s, it became the property of the noble family of the Marquises Monaldi, who built a large residence with a garden. At the beginning of the twentieth century, the villa changed hands several times, until in 1930 it was purchased by Count Francesco Maria Guardabassi, who commissioned the architect Tarchi from Rome to carry out a major renovation.
After a long period of abandonment, in 1989 the current owner, Maurizio Petrini, restored the villa to its ancient splendor, carefully restoring the residence, the Italian garden, and the park. This outdoor space is embellished with fountains, a swimming pool, a swan pond, and a small amphitheater, all elements of great historical value that reflect the taste and style of the time.
The villa consists of four large suites, each equipped with an antechamber, bedroom, private bathroom, and terrace with a splendid view of the surrounding landscape. These spaces, designed to offer maximum comfort and refinement, represent the perfect balance between historical elegance and modern comfort.
This extraordinary property is a unique opportunity for those looking for a prestigious property of great artistic and cultural value, immersed in the tranquility of the Umbrian countryside, with all the necessary amenities for a life of luxury.
