1700s Elegant Villa with park close to city center, Perugia - Umbria
A few minutes from amenities, authentic country villa with double entrances, great halls, cross vaults, park and private driveway for sale in Perugia. Nestled among the green hills minutes from the historic centre of Perugia, this elegant 18th-century villa enjoys a secluded and panoramic position within the residential area of Piscille. The property is reached via a private driveway through woodland, a discreet approach that opens onto a private residence overlooking the surrounding landscape. From here the view unfolds across gentle olive-covered slopes and the profiles of Umbrian hill towns, with evocative vistas that on clear days extend as far as Assisi and Mount Subasio. With its warm terracotta tones and the understated lines typical of Umbrian architecture, the villa blends harmoniously into the private park, ensuring privacy from neighbouring properties. The terraced garden is dotted with mature trees, ornamental shrubs and open green areas that create tranquil corners throughout the grounds. The land also offers the possibility of creating a panoramic swimming pool, further enhancing the residential and hospitality potential of the estate. The villa extends over three floors for approximately 463 square meters (4984 sq ft), internally connected by two staircases and featuring double entrances, a configuration that allows considerable flexibility of use. The interiors retain traces of the original 18th-century character, with spacious and light-filled rooms, elegant travertine staircases and cross-vaulted ceilings that evoke the long history of the residence. Over the centuries the structure has been updated and restored on several occasions, with significant works carried out in the 1990s and again in 2012, maintaining the property in good overall condition. The internal layout can easily be divided into separate units, making the property suitable both as a private residence and as a hospitality project, boutique hotel or student accommodation, also thanks to its proximity to the faculties of Veterinary Medicine and Agriculture, the railway station and the main highway. On the ground floor houses a central hall, two sitting rooms, the kitchen and several service rooms. The first floor hosts a bright living room with a panoramic balcony, a study with access to a terrace adorned with a wrought-iron bersot, four bedrooms and a bathroom. The second floor offers additional versatile and independent spaces with a kitchen, a bedroom and four rooms currently used as attic storage. Adjacent to the villa stands a two-level former greenhouse currently used as a storage space, which could be reimagined as an atelier, a guest house or an evocative garden-facing living area. A property of authentic character where history, nature and sweeping views come together in a convenient setting, on the threshold of one of Italy’s most captivating cities.
