Full Description
Nestled amongst the rolling hills of Umbria and surrounded by olive groves, vineyards and a centuries-old cultural landscape, this extraordinary residence is situated in the medieval village of Saragano, a place steeped in history, tranquillity and authentic Italian lifestyle. It combines the original character of an Umbrian castle with the distinctive atmosphere of a tastefully restored natural stone house.
As soon as you step through the door, you sense the home’s unique atmosphere: solid natural stone walls, exposed beams, terracotta floors and traditional details tell a story spanning centuries. Spacious rooms and traditional materials create a warm and elegant atmosphere. Windows and terraces offer sweeping views of the surrounding valleys and Umbria’s green, rolling hills.
From the main entrance, an open staircase leads to the ground floor on the right. Here you will find a spacious living, dining and kitchen area with a fireplace and access to the garden. In front of the kitchen is a small terrace with a splendid panoramic view of the hills. Two further terraces, with lounge areas, are situated in front of the day area. There is also a practical bathroom on this floor. From the entrance, a staircase leads to the left to the first floor, where there is a further living area with a panoramic balcony. On the second floor, there are two bedrooms and a bathroom with a shower.
The outdoor area of the house is particularly charming, with its terraced gardens, natural stone paths and secluded corners surrounded by greenery.
The elevated position within the village ensures privacy whilst offering a spectacular panoramic view of the landscape. It is an oasis of peace, where silence and nature have become a rare luxury.
In the garden there is a separate annexe with a living/sleeping area and bathroom. Two further large terraces are situated above and next to the annexe.
Beneath the garden terraces is a garage, whilst additional utility rooms and storage spaces are built into the terrace walls.
The property is situated in the eastern part of the historic village of Saragano, whose origins date back to Roman times. Over the centuries, the site developed into a fortified medieval settlement of strategic importance between Montefalco, Todi and Gualdo Cattaneo. Even today, cobbled alleys, ancient walls and the characteristic architecture of the 11th and 12th centuries define the village’s appearance. Saragano is considered a hidden gem of Umbria: peaceful, authentic and far from mass tourism.
The history of the place is closely linked to Umbrian culture, particularly winemaking, olive oil production and medieval falconry, steeped in tradition. The region is renowned for its famous Sagrantino wine and the extraordinary beauty of its landscape. Under Umbria’s crystal-clear light, the landscape changes with the seasons: from golden summer evenings to peaceful winter mornings, with views stretching across the Monti Martani, nicknamed the ‘balconies of Umbria’.
This property is ideal as an exclusive retreat, an elegant second home or a characterful holiday home in the heart of Umbria for anyone seeking authenticity and wishing to combine historic architecture with timeless elegance.
