Property Description:

Il Monastero, a recently restored luxury country house, church and cottage on the borders of Tuscany and Umbria, central Italy, is now for sale. The main building of Il Monastero was a monastery which was founded in the 1100’s; with nine bedrooms; the church probably stands on Etruscan foundations, and was originally built in the Romanesque style, the cottage, Villa Moscatelli; ref 012; has three bedrooms and elegant living quarters. All the properties are fully furnished and decorated, incorporating elegant traditional and antique furniture, and fittings, and have been maintained to a very high standard. The individual bedrooms have modern en-suite bathrooms lined with travertine marble. The surrounding well-established grounds and gardens contain a large swimming pool, with storage space / double garage, adjacent.

Il Monastero is only some four hundred meters from the village of Calzolaro; in Umbria’s Upper Tiber Valley; with some twenty shops/ bars/ pizzeria/ garage/ post office etc., and with ten medieval cities within 40 minutes, 50 restaurants within 30 minutes, and the Ryanairport of Asissi/Perugia within half an hour, this beautiful property is a unique example of an elegant and sympathetic restoration, offering an unusual opportunity to purchase historic buildings, in excellent structural and decorative order, in a beautiful setting, in a tranquil part of Italy.

This outstanding property is now being offered for sale, and is an opportunity to purchase a freehold home in an area where property prices have been increasing at a rate of almost 9% every year for the last twenty years, and which have now overtaken the nearest, and one of the more expensive, parts of Tuscany with regard to value.

A management, service, and maintenance team are willing to continue assisting any new owners and have all been employed for at least the last ten years.
