A former Benedictine monastery in Umbria has been quietly transformed into a private residence with its original structure intact. Located just outside the hilltop town of Bettona, the setting offers views across the Umbrian valley within easy reach of Assisi and Perugia.

The green heart of Italy is having a moment as the insider’s choice for discreet Italian luxury. With estates like Reschio leading the way, Umbria now rivals Tuscany for beauty and design—without the tourist footprint.

Located in Lubriano, Lazio—just minutes from the Umbrian border—this 18th-century estate blends the slow living of the Italian countryside with easy access to Orvieto, Civita di Bagnoregio, and the wine-rich hills of Umbria.

Just 13 miles from Perugia, this luxurious Italian villa offers a unique fusion of historic elegance and modern comfort—complete with stunning views of Umbria’s Tiber Valley.

Surrounded by formal gardens, this boutique castello is nestled in the Great Green Heart of Umbria, set in the heart of a 128 acre estate, just 20 minutes from the renowned Castello di Reschio.

Offering panoramic views of the Italian countryside, this imposing castle towers over the village of Torre Alfina, classified as “The Most Beautiful Villages of Italy”—I Borghi più belli d'Italia.

Located in the ‘Green Heart of Italy’ and offering lovely views of the rolling Umbrian hills, the property comprises two former watchtowers restored into farmhouses, and a new construction farmhouse built in the same style, all completed in the early 2000s.

Known as Tenuta Galileo, the restored Baroque hunting lodge is named after its most well-known visitor and the father of modern science, Galileo Galilei, and features a room especially frescoed for him.

Dating back to the 17th century, this beautifully preserved Baroque palace in south-western Umbria overlooks the Tiber valley with far-reaching views of Umbria and Lazio up to Tuscany. 

This stunning property, which was transformed in 2022, is the perfect retreat for those seeking a peaceful and luxurious escape in the Italian countryside, with five-star service and amenities.
