12 bedrooms farmhouse, 1300 m²

Massa Martana, Perugia (province)

Castle Le Rocchette is a stunning manor dating back to the 14th century, located in Umbria, halfway between Todi and Montefalco. Perched atop a green hill, it offers breathtaking views of the splendid surrounding nature, enveloped by a mosaic of olive groves, sunflower fields, and oak forests.

A unique place steeped in a magical atmosphere, so picturesque it seems straight out of a storybook.

Over its centuries-long history, the castle has been owned by noble and powerful families. It has undergone significant restoration (not yet completed), which has brought it back to its former glory. Externally, it features elegant natural stone facades of great charm. Internally, it is centered around a delightful courtyard housing the Church of Santa Maria della Concezione.

Features

Castle Le Rocchette, with a total area of 1,300 sqm, comprises four distinct sections: the noble residence, the watchtower, the central structure housing the church, and a 19th-century building.

The Noble Residence, fully restored, spans two elevated floors (first and second).

- First floor: Entered through a grand double-height foyer with a gallery, historical bas-relief, and a frescoed ceiling dating to 1769. It features a spacious, panoramic kitchen with wooden ceilings, a stone sink, and a fireplace; a charming living room with narrow defensive windows; and an expansive noble hall with a fireplace. The study, hallway, and service areas complete the floor.
- Second floor: Four exquisite bedrooms and service areas. The first features trusses and observation seats, the second a loft with access to an upper level, the third an en-suite bathroom with a tile ceiling, and the fourth is raised.

The Watchtower, a quadrangular structure of sandstone, features pointed arch windows, arrow slits, and "colombare" holes. An approved restoration project envisions developing the tower over six levels and adding brick corbels at the top.

The Central Structure spans multiple levels:

- Ground floor: Originally cellars, storage rooms, and stables with mangers, which are planned to be converted into a restaurant.
- First and second floors: Six unfinished apartments intended for rental, featuring stone walls, classic stone slab flooring, and ceilings with beams and tiles.
The 19th-Century Building: A beautiful two-story residence connected to the tower, overlooking both the castle’s inner courtyard and the surrounding countryside.
