In the heart of Umbria, amid the rolling hills of the Tiber Valley, stands this extraordinary historic estate, converted from a 13th-century medieval abbey and now transformed into an exclusive boutique hotel. Surrounded by vineyards, olive groves, and Mediterranean woodland, the estate enjoys a commanding position with unobstructed views of the surrounding countryside and encompasses over 1,000 m² of internal surfaces, two swimming pools, a 5,600-m² private park, and an olive grove.

 

The abbey’s origins are documented as early as 1275, when it appears in ecclesiastical records pertaining to the payment of the tithe. For centuries, it served as an important administrative center for the territories of Todi and Orvieto, belonging to the noble Clementini family from Amelia until the end of the 18th century, when it became part of the assets of the Episcopal Seminary of Todi.

 

Thanks to its exceptional architectural value, commanding location, and proximity to major cities such as Todi, Perugia, and Rome, the estate is equally suited as an exclusive private residence or as a refined, charming hospitality property, capable of combining authenticity, privacy, and a landscape of the highest quality.

Umbria - Perugia - Todi

Often called the "green heart of Italy," Umbria is a picturesque region characterized by lush landscapes, medieval hilltop towns, and a deep-rooted connection to art and spirituality. Nestled between Tuscany and Lazio, Umbria is less frequented by tourists, offering a more serene and authentic Italian experience.

Umbria's cuisine is rustic and hearty, reflecting its agricultural traditions. Known for its black truffles, which grow in abundance in the region’s forests, Umbrian dishes often feature this earthy delicacy in pasta, risotto, and sauces. Porchetta, a savory roasted pork dish seasoned with herbs, is another local favorite, often enjoyed at village festivals or as street food. Lentils from Castelluccio, grown in the Sibillini Mountains, are prized for their quality and flavor, often used in soups and salads. Olive oil from the region is also exceptional, with many small-scale producers offering tours and tastings.

Wine is equally important, with Umbria producing notable varieties such as Sagrantino di Montefalco and Orvieto, a crisp white wine that pairs beautifully with the region’s lighter dishes. The rolling vineyards and olive groves create a stunning backdrop for wine tours and tastings.

Historically and culturally, Umbria offers a wealth of treasures. Assisi, the birthplace of Saint Francis, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and an important pilgrimage destination. Its Basilica di San Francesco is adorned with frescoes by Giotto and Cimabue, offering visitors a spiritual and artistic journey. Perugia, the region’s capital, is known for its lively atmosphere, medieval architecture, and the Umbria Jazz Festival, one of Europe’s most renowned music events. Spoleto, famous for its Festival dei Due Mondi, is a cultural hub, while Gubbio retains a well-preserved medieval charm.

The natural beauty of Umbria extends to its landscapes. The Valnerina Valley, with its cascading waterfalls and rugged mountains, is perfect for hiking and outdoor activities, while Lake Trasimeno, Italy’s fourth-largest lake, offers tranquil views and opportunities for boating and swimming.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDINGS

Located in the hills just outside Todi, the property is currently used for high-end hospitality and spans three floors, comprising three distinct yet interconnected structures: the main residence, the ancient church, and a separate guesthouse. The sleeping quarters are distributed between the main building and the annex and comprise a total of eight bedrooms, enhanced by furnishings that evoke the historic character of the ancient abbey. Antique terracotta floors, ceilings with exposed wooden beams, handcrafted furniture, and refined fabrics help preserve the home’s authentic charm, reflecting its more-than-eight centuries of history.

The living area stands out for its spaciousness and includes seven reception rooms, four kitchens, and numerous stone fireplaces – elements that lend warmth and character to the spaces. Original stone arches elegantly punctuate the interior spaces, while large panoramic windows allow natural light to enhance every room and offer an unparalleled view of the Tiber Valley.

 

The true jewel of the property is the ancient Benedictinechurch, which preserves its original structure – dating back to the early 11th century – almost intact. The stone façade, featuring a simple Romanesque portal, a bell gable, and a small central window, leads into a space now used as a contemporary art gallery and relaxation area. The building retains the architectural features typical of the period, with a Romanesque apse, masonry made of filaretto ashlars, and a wooden truss roof supported by imposing exposed beams. Of particular note is the 16th-century fresco preserved in the apse, depicting the Crucifixion and attributed to Giovanni di Pietro, a pupil of Perugino. The interplay between medieval architecture and contemporary artworks lends this space a refined atmosphere, where history and modernity coexist in perfect harmony.

EXTERIOR

The outdoor spaces are set within a park of approximately 5,600 m², framed by centuries-old pines, oaks, and beeches. Panoramic terraces, relaxation areas, and spaces dedicated to outdoor dining allow guests to fully experience the natural surroundings, offering spectacular views of the valley and making the property ideal for exclusive receptions and events. The garden features two swimming pools with spacious stone sun decks: one with a distinctive teardrop shape and a second, larger pool overlooking the rolling hills. The estate is rounded out by approximately 1.0 hectare of olive groves, which produce excellent Umbrian extra virgin olive oil.
