Marsciano, Perugia (province)

Lake Trasimeno

Marsciano, apartment of about 109sqm, with garden of about 90sqm immersed in a magnificent hamlet with pool and land.

Description:
This beautiful apartment consists of 2 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a large living room and kitchenette. This apartment is nestled in a magnificent hamlet in the heart of Umbria. The castle dates back to 593 AD and was built on the borders of the Byzantine Corridor. Around the year 1000 it became a monastery, and in 1474 it was given to a family of counts who used it as a summer residence. For more than 500 years the surnames changed only by inheritance to their daughters. The mansion consists of 27 units, 11 apartments and 16 suites, all finely restored with chestnut wood beams and old terracotta floors. The restoration was carried out with the help of the Ministry of Culture, which considers it a model restoration because of the thoroughness of the work and the quality of the materials used. 23 units are of considerable public interest with large tax benefits. The units range from 59 to 186 sq. m. and have 1 to 3 bedrooms, 96 percent of which have their own bathrooms. Many living rooms have a fireplace. In the Small Tower there is a 186 sq. m. unit with a large living room, 2 double bedrooms and two bathrooms. On the second floor there is a 170 sq m unit with a large living room, fireplace, and 7 beds. The view is magnificent from all windows and yards. The hill is on the maps at the entrance to the Vatican Museums because a saint took refuge there in 174 A.D. and because in 1450 Pope Nicholas V (1447-55) lived there for months, who founded the Vatican Library, crowned a German emperor in Rome for the last time and accepted the resignation of the last antipope. In the chapel of St. Paul, first mentioned in a papal bull of 1115, there is a beautiful canopy for papal visits with his coat of arms. There are also delicate frescoes from 1315-19 painted by Meo da Siena, who was a pupil of Giotto and has an entire room dedicated to him in the Städel Museum in Frankfurt and the National Gallery in Perugia.

There are communal spaces in the hamlet such as a spa with a sauna, Turkish bath, sensory shower and heated whirlpool, a restaurant room with a ribbed cross-vaulted ceiling and a 129-square-meter iron pergola with stunning views of Perugia, opening windows and a kitchen.

Outdoor Spaces:
