Umbria, Perugia, Perugia, Italy

Portion of a medieval castle within the borgo of Sant'Apollinare, close to the charming village of Spina

Once part of the circle of defense castles built to protect the city of Perugia, the main building probably dates from the 10th century and appears in historical documentation. The castle later became home to a monastery and eventually home to a noble family. It has always been habitated, which means it is beautifully preserved and structurally sound with recent works undertaken in 2017.

The castle has a gated formal garden of approximately 2,500 sq m, a parking area, and woodland whilst the full estate includes olive groves, arable land, vineyards, woodland, and a truffle reserve. The agricultural buildings - a casa colonica, a tobacco tower, and annexes - can be recuperated to become further accommodation.

Arable fields, olive groves, woodland, and 4 ha of Grechetto vineyards that this area is renowned for - the castle even includes its own original cantina, with ample buildings to create a new cantina if a more serious wine production was required. An area abundant in water due to the Nestore River that borders the property there is irrigation for the farmland. There is a truffle reserve on the property and approximately 2 ha of olive groves.

The formal gated garden that forms part of the castle could be brought back to its formal glory and would be ideal for events and weddings. There is ample private parking and the parkland around the castle can be irrigated using its large rainwater collection tank.
