This farmhouse dating back to 1575 was once part of the stables of the renowned Villa del Colle del Cardinale, one of the most beautiful villas in Umbria, located just a few kilometers from Perugia. The villa was commissioned by Cardinal Fulvio della Corgna, nephew of Pope Julius III and was likely designed by the Perugian architect Galeazzo Alessi.
The property underwent a meticulous restoration in 2008, enhancing every single niche with exquisite materials and architectural choices, offering a sophisticated balance between historical charm and contemporary comfort.
La Corte dell’Armonia extends over two levels with a total commercial area of 380 sqm and is divided into two separate yet connected living units, allowing them to remain distinct or combine into one expansive residence.
The first apartment, approximately 220 sqm, is laid out as follows: the large living room features stone arches, exposed beam ceilings and terracotta tiles and opens to a beautifully maintained garden of over 1600 sqm a true oasis of tranquility. Inside, this apartment includes a bright and airy lounge that leads into a masonry kitchen with a fireplace, a study also with a fireplace, a bathroom, a storage room and a cellar ideal for wine preservation.
Representative stairs lead to the upper floor where a charming gallery connects two bedrooms, both with en suite bathrooms and a third room currently used as a study, complete with a bathroom and storage space.
The second, smaller apartment measures approximately 164 sqm and is composed as follows: entrance is via the garden into the kitchen, followed by a dining room and a spacious living room with a fireplace, a bathroom and a laundry area. Stairs lead to the upper floor where there is a master bedroom with an en suite bathroom, a study, and a living room featuring a 17th-century period fireplace.
