This magnificent medieval castle is built on a natural hilltop, enjoying a dominant position over the Nestore Valley. The property, of exceptional historical and architectural value, combines the authentic charm of an ancient fortress with the grandeur of a luxury residence, set within a context of complete privacy and outstanding landscape beauty.
The castle is arranged over five levels, with a total internal area of approximately 1,575 sqm, comprising 54 rooms. Interiors include five grand reception halls, living and study areas, three kitchens and eleven bathrooms. Four spacious bedrooms, conceived as true suites, ensure comfort and privacy. The interiors retain monumental proportions and a layout ideally suited both for private residential use and for high-end receptions and events. The property is completed by an independent apartment of approximately 200 sqm, with direct access to the 13th-century tower.
Externally, the castle is surrounded by a private garden of approximately 2,500 sqm, enhanced by a rainwater collection basin. A large panoramic terrace of about 60 sqm, embellished with crenellations, overlooks the valley below, crossed by the Nestore River, offering views of rare beauty. The parking area, measuring approximately 1,750 sqm, is set amidst greenery with holm oaks and bamboo, and harmoniously connects the garden to the woodland area of over 1.6 hectares, featuring native tree species.
A feature of outstanding prestige is the 13th-century Guelph crenellated tower, accessible via a walkway along the walls and an internal spiral staircase. The property also includes an extensive 74-hectare agricultural estate, further enhancing the value and potential of the complex. An ideal opportunity as a prestigious private residence, a charming relais, or a high-end hospitality investment. Located in the heart of Umbria, in the evocative Nestore Valley, the castle enjoys a strategic yet secluded position, easily accessible and well connected to the region’s main historic towns. A setting of great charm, where history, nature and landscape merge in a timeless balance.
