Historic Villa Between Perugia And Trasimeno Lake

Estate of 9 hectares, 8 km from Perugia composed of a large vintage villa of representation with secular park and formal garden, independent farmhouse, private chapel, lemon house and several outbuildings. Ideal as a private residence or for high-level business accommodation and events.

Geographic position
Set atop a gentle hill overlooking the Umbrian countryside, Villa delle Ninfee is an elegant 17th-century country residence, surrounded by a large park with swimming pool.
The property is located on the edge of a peaceful village, just 8 km from Perugia and strategically positioned between some of the most renowned historic towns in Umbria: Passignano sul Trasimeno (29 km), Castiglione del Lago (30 km), Assisi (37 km), and Spello (41 km) are all within a 45-minute drive. In just over an hour, you can also reach Orvieto (70 km), Spoleto (73 km), and, in Tuscany, Chianciano (60 km), Montepulciano (66 km), and Arezzo (92 km).
The nearest airport is Perugia San Egidio, only 23 km away, while the A1 motorway connection is at 39 km.

Description of buildings
The property includes the main villa, two farmhouses with a total of four independent apartments, a private chapel, a limonaia, two storage buildings, a tool shed, a stable, and a barn, with a total commercial surface area of approximately 2,284 sqm.

The Villa – 926 sqm commercial surface
28 rooms – 10 bedrooms – 5 bathrooms
The villa is undoubtedly the highlight of the entire property. Spread over four levels, it has preserved the original architectural features of its period.
The main entrance, accessible from both the north and south sides, serves as a central point connecting the various ground floor rooms: a spacious dining room and several rooms currently used in the hospitality business, including a kitchen.
The piano nobile, accessed via an imposing wooden staircase, includes a dining room with fireplace, a billiard room, a living room with fireplace, a study/bedroom, a sitting room, a kitchen, one bedroom, and one bathroom.
The second floor is entirely dedicated to the sleeping area, with 8 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
The third floor houses the attics, divided into 7 rooms that were once used by the staff.
A double internal staircase allows each level to have separate spaces for the owners and for service staff.

Surrounding the villa are the following buildings:
Farmhouse 1 – 318 sqm commercial surface
8 rooms – 5 bedrooms – 2 bathrooms
Located near the villa, it consists of a single apartment on two levels.
The ground floor includes a kitchen, dining area, living room, and bathroom.
The first floor features a kitchen/living room with a large fireplace, five bedrooms, and two bathrooms.

Private Chapel – 36 sqm commercial surface
1 room

Farmhouse 2 – 364 sqm commercial surface
14 rooms – 7 bedrooms – 5 bathrooms (apartments) + 5 bathrooms (stables)
This building is divided into three independent apartments:
One on the ground floor with living room and kitchenette, one bedroom, and one bathroom.
Two on the first floor, each with kitchen/living room, three bedrooms, and two bathrooms.

This building also contains the stable (75 sqm commercial surface) with 5 bathrooms, and a storage room (32 sqm commercial surface).

The Limonaia – 184 sqm commercial surface
3 rooms
A two-storey building with a portico, partly used as a traditional limonaia and partly as service areas for the garden and the adjacent swimming pool.

The Barn – 265 sqm
1 room
Its volume could be recovered and converted—subject to a recovery plan—into a residential unit of approximately 500 sqm.

The Tool Shed – 191 sqm commercial surface
5 rooms
Divided into five rooms.

The surface area is calculated based on the net usable floor space, including internal partitions, and increased by 10% to account for load-bearing walls.

State and finishing
The property is in good overall condition, although some areas would benefit from renovation.

External areas
The property is surrounded by approximately 9 hectares of land, 3 of which are dedicated to the park—one of the estate’s most distinctive features. Enclosed by a solid stone wall, the park is partly designed in the traditional Italian garden style and partly laid to lawn. It is interwoven with pedestrian and vehicular paths, privacy-giving hedges, and ancient stone walls that once divided the residential area from the agricultural grounds.
Near the swimming pool and the limonaia, there is a charming small woodland, and within the courtyard, two fountains of different shapes and designs add character and elegance.
The property has two formal entrances: the main one is guarded by an imposing wrought-iron gate, while the second, accessible via a grand tree-lined avenue bordered by hedges, leads to the rear courtyard of the villa.

Use and potential uses
Thanks to its location, very near Perugia and equidistant from the other main historical cities in Umbria and Tuscany, Villa delle Ninfee can clearly maintain its vocation as a hotel, which is its current use.
It can also be used as private residence.
