Dating from the 12C, this borgo is perched at 700m looking down into the Niccone Valley and onto The Reschio Estate. The main house has 7 double bedrooms, 2 drawing rooms, open fire places, a large dining room and fantastic views. The borgo (collection of farmhouses) has a dedicated pool (open from June to Sept), a stand alone - non-consecrated chapel - and an old grotto where Saint Donino is said to have contemplated life.

This house has soul, is very old and been renovated to honor its past as well as adding in some of today's comforts - private pool, wifi etc. Close to Citta di Castello, Assisi and other historic towns, it provides a great location with true peacefulness. Great for the summer, but also in spring and autumn - where the colours and light are fantastic.

Significant time has been placed into retrofitting solutions to take the property's impact to minimal. Solar water, photovoltaic, batteries etc are in place. No fertilisers, herbicides and or sprays are used on the land.

There is a substantial veg garden - with orchards.

Water is used from a lake (garden) and from a well (house), and as much minimization procedures have been put in place as possible, so this is not a property of green lawns in the summer.

Lastly, the map on this site showing the house location is slightly inaccurate. The house should be between San Leo Bastia and Lisciano Niccone - and on the Umbrian-Tuscan border.
