Diana

Nestled in the hills that border Umbria and Marche, this beautifully restored house, once an ancient fortress, exudes timeless elegance and charm.


Diana is a large, traditional stone villa in a breathtakingly beautiful location amongst the wooded hills where Umbria becomes Marche, in the heart of Italy. Not far from Gubbio and Montone, it’s also only 40 minutes from Fano and Pesaro on the Adriatic coast.

The main house was meticulously restored in 2012 and is characterised by stone walls, ancient wooden beams, cotto floors and beautiful big fireplaces. On the ground floor there is a tiny chapel – further proof of the property’s age and history.

Up until the end of 2024 the estate was used for short-term holiday lets and for events. As such, the main house includes a reception area, a professional kitchen and a restaurant that can accommodate 30 guests, as well as a covered dining terrace at the back with incredible views over the surrounding hills, woods and valleys.

The large annex next to the main house was renovated in 2009 and includes two apartments and a technical room. There are two separate apartments located in the main building, as well.

The property is set in almost 16 hectares of private land that includes a pool and a playground with a trampoline.

This unique estate offers a rare opportunity to own an historical building that blends traditional charm with modern comforts, all in a location of unparalleled natural beauty.
