Historic villa with Italian garden and private park

A few kilometers from the center of Perugia, in a dominant and secluded position, lies this splendid historic villa that retains the charm of centuries. The residence dates back to the 15th century around an ancient watchtower still clearly visible, expanded over time to assume its current configuration. In the 18th century, it was the residence of the Marquises Monaldi, who chose it as a representative residence; in the early 20th century, it passed to the Bartoccini and the Curia, and was later purchased by Count Francesco Maria Guardabassi, who entrusted its restoration to the architect Ugo Tarchi, a prominent figure of the era. The villa was rented for a period to the Bulgari family and during World War II was requisitioned first by German officers and then by Allied high commands. After decades of abandonment, in 1989 the Petrini family undertook a careful restoration, returning splendor to the residence, restoring the Italian garden and creating a pool immersed in the park. The main building, with great scenic impact, is distinguished by its balanced facade and central tower with a clock; inside, the double-height hall with a perimeter balcony, frescoed ceilings, and representative rooms alternating with more intimate lounges are striking. The bedrooms and numerous bathrooms provide spaces suitable for hosting families, friends, or supporting a hospitality use. Particularly impressive is the monumental bathroom with a checkerboard floor and the depiction of Venus, as well as the elegantly decorated small lounges. Every detail, from painted doors to period furnishings, contributes to creating a harmonious and refined whole. The park, extending over about five hectares, houses the Italian garden with a central fountain, tree-lined avenues, clearings, and panoramic views. The property is completed by the ancient farm complex, still partly to be renovated, representing an interesting development opportunity. The location, only seven kilometers from Perugia, allows for absolute privacy while remaining close to the main roads connecting with Assisi, Spoleto, Siena, Florence, and Rome. A residence of rare charm, capable of combining history, elegance, and contemporary functionality.
