Those looking for a fine balance of history and modern luxury will adore this dreamy country home and its glorious sun-drenched views. On the border of Umbria and Tuscany and sensitively restored throughout, the property is bursting with potential as an idyllic family home or summer getaway base.

By day, take in the stunning views of the Tiber Valley and woodlands as the smell of the nearby olive groves drifts up over the terraces, take a dip in the swimming pool discreetly concealed by a row of olive trees, lavender and yellow flowering bloom - or enjoy al fresco dining with the help of an exterior wood-fired oven. When night falls, the twinkling lights of Assisi and Perugia can be admired from the front terrace.

The castle’s interior is equally enthralling. Despite renovation, period features have been retained throughout, with a range of impressive stone fireplaces, detailed ceilings, original walls and wood beams being standout features of many rooms.

A cavernous sitting room, restaurant-grade kitchen and grand dining area make up one wing of the ground floor, with a palatial principal suite on the floor above. Across an open atrium are seven more suites over three floors, with a gym, hammam and spa underneath.

All eight suites benefit from spectacular views and fireplaces restored to their former glory using original details salvaged from other buildings in the area and beyond. Further attributes include private parking, staff accommodation and a roof terrace.
