Full Description
Villa Mosaico is a splendid luxury villa on the outskirts of the Umbrian town of Città di Castello, sitting atop a gentle hill from which to enjoy a panoramic view.The property has 1290 square metres divided into the four floors of the main unit, a spacious dependence, and the caretaker’s house. The whole lies on two hectares of land and an elegant garden with refined plants, including a majestic thousand-year-old oak, framing and shading the days spent at the villa.The ground floor of the manor house is traversed by a long, high hallway dating back to the 1500s that leads on the left to an original chapel, and on the right to the more modern living room with fireplace, large windows with access to the park, and an entire wall covered in gold leaf. The other locals are two bathrooms, a dining room, a kitchen with direct access to the garden, pantry and access to technical rooms.From here one descends to the smallest but most atmospheric wing of the house: the basement. It is in one of these rooms that the Roman mosaic, completely restored and protected by the Superintendency for Archaeological Heritage, lies. This floor includes three more rooms with characteristic brick vaults dating back to 1800, a cellar, and comfortable access to the outdoor swimming pool. This heated pool, measuring 16 x 9 metres, is one of the best points from which to enjoy the panorama on the valley.The garden of this villa is as cosy as its interior, featuring a small pergola under which to eat on summer days, and a perfectly preserved 16th-century well a few steps away. The large swimming pool reaches a depth of three metres and is equipped with changing rooms, a gym and white marble bathrooms.Villa Mosaico is a canvas that tells and encloses many different stories, starting with the ancient Romans and arriving at the most modern Oriental touches. Close to all amenities, just five minutes from the nearest town, it also offers sheltered and peaceful living.
