Description

Surrounded by greenery and anchored to the same rock on which hundreds of olive trees stand proudly, this charming farmhouse combines rusticity and elegance in perfect balance. Its brightness, guaranteed by excellent exposure and numerous glass openings, together with its spacious and welcoming rooms, immediately gives a feeling of warmth and authenticity. A few metres from the road that connects the countryside homes to the urban centres of the area and the Tiber valley, the house is located in a slightly elevated position above the dense olive groves that line the private driveway, protected behind by a lush forest. Spread over four levels, one of which is used as a garage (basement on two sides), the property welcomes guests with a bright ground floor, where the entrance opens onto a large living room connected to all the rooms on the floor. Here there is a panoramic fireplace, shared between the main rooms, followed by two halls, one of which is a dining room directly connected to the kitchen. In the centre, a delightful panoramic veranda offers a splendid view of the valley. Between the living room and the kitchen is the staircase to the upper floors, with perfectly optimised spaces that include a bathroom and a storage room. The built-in kitchen, equipped with a wood-burning stove, has a secondary entrance leading to the terraced courtyard, which offers a direct view of the olive groves. On the first floor, where the view opens up further onto the countryside, there are two bedrooms and two bathrooms, one of which is en-suite, as well as an elegant mezzanine overlooking the living area, with a characteristic panoramic porthole window overlooking the valley. The second floor, the attic, houses a large room with a bathroom, ideal as additional space or a private study. Fine flooring, exposed beams and finishes that alternate modern elements with period details give the house a unique character, where refinement and rurality blend in perfect harmony. Outside, on approximately 1.7 hectares of land, there are over 160 olive trees and a lush green lawn with trees and plants of various species. Among them all, a centuries-old olive tree stands out, dating back to the time of St Francis of Assisi, an authentic witness to the history and Umbrian soul of this extraordinary property.

Location: Amelia, Umbria

Porchiano del Monte is a beautiful hamlet of Amelia, located just 9 km from the town and a 12-minute drive from the Autostrada del Sole (A1) highway, with easy access from the Attigliano tollbooth. An ancient village contested since the Middle Ages by the main neighbouring towns for its strategic position, it dominates the Tiber valley from a hill surrounded by greenery, offering its inhabitants a peaceful environment, far from the urban chaos but perfectly connected. From here, Rome — with its international airports — can be reached in less than an hour by car, while Florence is about 2.5 hours to the north, along a route that passes through the beautiful Etruscan city of Orvieto, world-famous and only 45 minutes away. The Tyrrhenian Sea is the closest, less than an hour and a half away, and nearby are also the most picturesque lakes in central Italy, including Lake Bolsena, which is suitable for swimming and can be reached in less than an hour. Continuing north along the E45, you will reach the main Umbrian cities such as Perugia, passing through Todi and then Assisi, while Spoleto and Foligno are more easily reached via Terni, a modern and well-served provincial city, located just 30 minutes away by car. Close to numerous towns and equipped with all the amenities that the Tiber valley has to offer, Porchiano del Monte offers unique views and a setting of rare tranquillity. Due to its location, the property is ideal as a private residence, either permanent or holiday home, but it also represents an excellent investment in the tourism sector.
