About this property
Anchored by a 17th-century watchtower and restored in the 1990s, this four-bedroom hilltop house in Umbria is the kind of property that makes you wonder why you ever bought a flat in the city. Original chestnut beam ceilings, terracotta tile floors, and 550 ancient olive trees across 4.2 hectares of carefully tended land: this is rural Italy done properly, without the usual caveats about 'full renovation required'.
The panoramic position delivers views all the way to Mount Soratte, and the terraced garden, with its ornamental planting and ancient trees, already has space identified for a swimming pool. The house is in excellent condition overall, though the roof will benefit from some modernisation and improved insulation, so factor that into your budgeting before you start pricing up sun loungers.
Situated just 1.7 km from a village with basic services and ten minutes from the historic centre of Amelia, this works equally well as a private residence or a tourist accommodation venture. Amelia itself is one of Umbria's quieter gems: walled, hilltop, and considerably less trampled than its more famous neighbours.
