Rustico

Just 4 km from the historic center of Todi, in a privileged hillside position overlooking the ancient Umbrian town and the surrounding valley, this remarkable historic estate is currently operated as an Agriturismo and combines an exceptional historical heritage with extensive hospitality facilities and significant development potential.

The history of this remarkable property is deeply connected with Todi and its surrounding territory. Documentary evidence confirms its existence as early as the 15th century, although its origins are considerably older. During the restoration works, archaeological and architectural elements were discovered that point to a Roman foundation.

Among the most significant finds are a bronze coin depicting Caesar Augustus, fragments of mosaic, numerous worked travertine stones and substantial stone and brick arches. These remains indicate that the present complex was built following the demolition of the so-called “Palazzo di Traiano”, a Roman villa whose surviving concrete structures can still be identified within the foundations of the current building.

The property subsequently came into the possession of the nuns of the ancient Lucrezie order. Their presence is documented by a notarial deed dated 1699, and they are known to have remained here until at least 1747. In that year, the small internal church dedicated to Saint John was stripped of its fresco depicting the Virgin Enthroned with the Child. The artwork was subsequently transferred to the chapel of a local parish church, where it remains today.

Following this period, the complex was converted into a traditional farmhouse.

In 1999, the current owners began an extensive program of restoration, carefully bringing the historic property back to its former splendor. Today, all the buildings are in excellent condition and retain the characteristic materials of Umbrian rural architecture, including stone walls, wooden and terracotta ceilings and solid wood doors, gates and window frames.

Immersed in the gentle hills of Valdinievole, this extraordinary historic property represents an authentic expression of Tuscan lifestyle, combining panoramic views of the countryside, hospitality, and the timeless charm of a traditional Tuscan country house.

Located in a commanding position over the valley, the property benefits from an open view of olive groves, woods, and countryside, offering a rare sense of privacy and tranquility, while remaining well connected to major destinations in Tuscany.

The nearby village is particularly known for its historic gardens and for the tradition of citrus cultivation, made possible by the favorable microclimate of the area. Here, history and nature coexist in perfect harmony: ancient architectures, olive groves, gardens, and citrus groves create an atmosphere of rare authenticity and tranquility.

Today, the property represents a particularly interesting opportunity for an international buyer seeking a home capable of combining history, privacy, hospitality, and quality of life. It is a well-established structure.

The facility could continue its activity as a boutique hospitality, with the possibility to further develop its positioning, or be transformed into a private residence of great charm and character.

On the hills of Casentino, at about 500 meters altitude and a very quiet and reserved position, 211-hectare estate with Agriturismo and livestock for sale. The activity is very successful in the tourist accommodation circuit (by 2025 there were 25 weeks occupied annually) with a clientele largely made up of European and American guests. The structure is also used for weddings and could be expanded to corporate meetings. There is still significant development potential with the renovation and reactivation of the horse stables and a ruin located in a panoramic position.

The Agriturismo (1,500 m² – 16,140 ft², 20 bedrooms and 23 bathrooms) is a large stone building with a typical Tuscan style, spread over three above-ground floors. The common areas include the reception, a restaurant with a professional kitchen, relaxation rooms for guests, and a wellness center (hot tub, Turkish bath, sauna, and fitness area). The accommodation part includes eleven bedrooms with private bathrooms and six independent apartments:

• Apt. N°1: living room with kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom;
• Apt. N°2: living room with kitchen, reading room, two bedrooms, and three bathrooms;
• Apt. N°3: living room with kitchenette, two bedrooms, and two bathrooms;
• Apt. N°4: living room with kitchenette, two bedrooms, and one bathroom;
• Apt. N°5: living room, bedroom, and bathroom;
• Apt. N°6: studio with bathroom.

The farmhouse is surrounded by 8,500 m² of well-kept garden organized into two main sections. At the top, there is a real garden with shady tall trees, a canopy serving as an outdoor extension for the restaurant, and a convenient parking area for guests. The lower terrace features a 15 × 8 m swimming pool and an outdoor playground for children.

The property also includes various agricultural buildings (about 2,700 m² – 29,052 ft²) which house a large cattle barn and a horse stable (currently not in use) and a ruined farmhouse (885 m² – 9,523 ft²). The livestock includes 10 lactating cows and 3 donkeys, very interesting from an educational point of view for guided tours with guests.

Water supply is ensured by the municipal aqueduct, but the property also has two internal springs and the possibility to draw water from a nearby stream. For electricity, there is a 65-kW photovoltaic system that covers most of the property’s energy needs, in addition to supplying current to the grid for profit. The possibility of exploiting the roofs of the farm buildings for the installation of additional panels is currently under consideration.

In the historic heart of the small village of Civitella d’Agliano, this remarkable property comprises two independent town houses, meticulously restored to combine the authentic character of traditional architecture with the comforts of a refined contemporary residence. Set against the surrounding landscape, the property enjoys an outward-facing position, a private garden descending towards the valley, a swimming pool and a panoramic terrace, while a large natural cave offers the intriguing possibility of creating a private spa.

The property is particularly suited to those who appreciate the charm of historic villages and are willing to embrace their distinctive layout and character. The houses are connected by different levels and stairs, while the pedestrian setting means that the car cannot be parked directly at the property. These characteristics are more than compensated for by the tranquility, privacy and authenticity of village life, making the property ideal for those seeking a slower pace and a genuine connection with the surrounding landscape.

In the heart of Casentino, at the foot of the Casentino Forests that guard the ancient Hermitage of Camaldoli, this property preserves a history deeply linked to the secular presence of the Camaldolese Monks, who for centuries played a key role in the religious, economic, and agricultural life of this territory.

The history of the property is part of the broader network of lands, farms, and agricultural structures that, over the centuries, belonged to the monastic community founded by St. Romuald at the beginning of the 11th century. The Camaldolese system developed not only around the Hermitage and the Monastery but also included an extensive rural estate to support the community's life and organize the agricultural activities of the area.

The origin of the estate is intertwined with this ancient organization. The estate's locations were originally owned by the monks and served a significant function along the old route of Casentino: it was a postal station for horse changes, located along the carriage road that crossed the countryside following the course of the Archiano river.

A crossing and connection point, therefore, between the agricultural world of the valley and the monastic one of the mountains, where the productive vocation and hospitality were already deeply connected.

Today, this ancient vocation lives on through the farm and agritourism activities, in a landscape of extraordinary authenticity where nature, agriculture, hospitality, and history still coexist harmoniously.

A few kilometers from Lake Trasimeno, on the hills surrounding Magione and Perugia, a renovated farmhouse with 10.6 hectares of land for sale. The property's location is extremely panoramic and very convenient, being just a few hundred meters from a village that offers all essential services. Despite this, the buildings are surrounded by trees that ensure privacy and confidentiality and shield the property from noise and prying eyes.

The farmhouse (324 m² – 3,486 ft², 2 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms), completely renovated in the 1990s and in good aesthetic-structural condition, is arranged over two levels. On the ground floor, there is the living area consisting of two large lounges, a spacious kitchen with direct access to the porch and the terrace (ideal for outdoor dinners and lunches), an entrance with stairs, an office space, two service rooms, and a bathroom. Moving upstairs, accessible both from the inside and directly from the outside, you reach the sleeping area composed of a spacious master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and a private walk-in wardrobe (technically an additional room), a second bedroom, a separate bathroom, and a small lounge.

The house could feature up to four bedrooms but the current owners went with a two-bedroom layout based on their personal needs.

The building is also equipped with an alarm system that ensures safety and tranquility.

The outbuilding (58 m² – 624 ft²) is located not far from the house and is currently used as a garage (two separate rooms) with a small cellar at the back. The building is already equipped with utility connections and could easily be converted into a guesthouse.

The house is surrounded by a lush terraced garden of about 6,400 m² with lighting and irrigation systems. The paved terraces surrounding the building offer breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside, as does the 8 × 4 m swimming pool located slightly lower than the house. Just below the pool is a bocce court which needs a few works.

In the upper part of the property, where guests and service staff usually park, one could easily create a tennis and/or pickleball court.

The rest of the property (about 10.0 hectares) is located on the hillside down to the valley and is entirely covered by woods (5.1 hectares) and olive trees (4.9 hectares) that produce excellent extra-virgin olive oil every year.

Nestled among the gentle hills of Maremma in southern Tuscany, a few minutes from the famous thermal spa town of Saturnia, 15.1-hectare estate with vineyard and olive grove for sale. Located in a commanding position, the property enjoys a rare sense of privacy and spectacular views of the surrounding Maremma countryside, extending to the Argentario promontory and the Tyrrhenian Sea.

The farmhouse (180 m² – 1,937 ft², 2 bedrooms, and 2 bathrooms), dating back to the late-19th century and carefully restored, is spread over two levels: the ground floor is entirely occupied by the living area composed of a lounge, open-plan kitchen, and dining room. Upstairs are two elegant bedrooms, both with en-suite bathrooms. One of the bedrooms opens onto a spacious terrace with extraordinary views of the surrounding countryside to the sea, a distinctive and scenic element of the estate.

Every environment reflects the attention given to preserving the historic identity of the farmhouse. The travertine floors, traditional architectural elements, and carefully selected contemporary finishes create a sophisticated atmosphere, while maintaining the authenticity typical of Tuscan homes.

The guesthouse (28 m² – 301 ft², 1 bedroom, and 1 bathroom) hosts a third bedroom with a private bathroom, offering guests and family the possibility to stay in complete privacy.

Of particular interest is the possibility of creating a cellar of about 400 m² to develop a true wine project and produce wine directly from the estate’s vineyards. This possibility adds a completely new dimension to the estate, allowing the future owner to transform an already exceptional private residence into a Tuscan estate dedicated to wine and olive oil production.

Country house of ancient origin, with agricultural outbuildings to be renovated, about 2.6 hectares of agricultural land and an area with building potential for residential use for sale. An interesting combination that offers multiple and diversified development possibilities.

This property is located in an area immediately close to the historic center of Bibbiena, in Casentino, where all necessary services are available. Of particular interest also from a historical-landscape perspective, the toponym has been documented in the ancient cartography of Tuscany since 1710, where it appears with the name “Podere del Apparita”. 

The name itself recalls one of the most distinctive features of the place: the elevated and strategic position, from which a wide view of the surrounding territory and the valley can be enjoyed. In the Tuscan tradition, the term “apparita” indeed identifies a place from which, traversing the territory, a sudden wide view of the landscape opens up.

The estate is distinguished for its panoramic position, direct relationship with the historic center of Bibbiena, the presence of historic agricultural terraces, and building potential.
