Apartment Il Castello, Panicale, Perugia – Umbria

Apartment with small panoramic terrace for sale in Panicale, Perugia. The apartment spans 120 sqm, over two levels, on the second and third floors. Close to Panicale, surrounded by centuries-old olive groves and immersed in the tranquility of the green Umbrian hills. The property overlooks Lake Trasimeno, offering one of the most evocative views of the “lake of a thousand colors”. The apartment is within the castle building, its origins dating back to the early Middle Ages (5th century). Its historical profile testifies to the ancient history of this Byzantine fortification, destroyed and rebuilt several times during the wars. From the 13th century, it fortified the powerful city of Panicale and became a milestone of the Perugian defensive system: it was the tallest and most impregnable castle in the area. Recent renovation of this medieval village in 1995 has seen the return of this castle to its original residential functions. All structures completely restored with high quality materials and with typical Umbrian-Tuscan characteristics, such as terracotta flooring including the stairs, exposed wooden beams and brick arches. Surrounded by greenery, it is an oasis of peace. A unique atmosphere in a pure and natural environment, enabling you to feel the history, which is part of the territory's heritage. Whilst the apartment is part of the castle there is complete privacy making it an excellent option as both an investment for a first or second home, also as holiday let.
