Imago

This beautifully restored and impeccably maintained property is perfect for those looking for a peaceful and private retreat in unspoilt countryside.


Imago is a typical Umbrian farmhouse set in rolling countryside in the heart of Italy. For many years it was home to an important English family who sold the house to the current owners. They, in turn, undertook a full renovation in 2022 and have transformed Imago into a comfortable and welcoming home, while respecting the property’s many original details.

The house is set over three levels and retains beautiful cotto floors, wooden ceiling beams and large stone fireplaces. The rooms are bathed in light and there is a wonderful connection between the house and the outdoor areas from all the rooms on the ground floor. 

A new kitchen with a wood-burning stove occupies a double-height, galleried room, while there is a fully equipped prep kitchen in another room behind, both fitted with Shaker-style wooden units. The four bedrooms are on the first floor, each with a private bathroom, while a sitting room on the second floor could become an additional bedroom.

The house is surrounded by a landscaped garden, rich in both colour and fragrance, that has been immaculately maintained. It includes a pool with a sun terrace and a separate shaded dining area. There are further dining terraces either side of the house to catch the sun throughout the day.

The property is in an ideal position, close to both Perugia and Umbertide, in some of Umbria’s prettiest countryside.

Bathrooms

All the bathrooms are en-suite and there is a guest loo on the ground floor.

Kitchen

The large, hand-crafted kitchen blends rustic elegance with industrial touches and occupies a double-height room with doors to the garden. There is a separate prep kitchen behind which doubles as a pantry with plenty of food storage space and a handy door to outside.

Living room

The sitting room has a beautiful stone fireplace with a window either side and is big yet cosy. A large stone arch connects to the dining room which, like the sitting room, has a ceiling made of beams and cotto tiles.

Other rooms

There is a small garage by the pool that provides excellent storage. The house has a small pantry area that is currently used to store wood.

Facilities

The enclosed garden has been thoughtfully designed and beautifully maintained. An oasis of scents and colours, there is a large collection of roses, pine trees, herbs, shrubs, flowers and topiary, as well as an immaculately kept olive grove.

The driveway to the house is lined with cypress trees and access to the property is via an automatic gate. The property is surrounded by rolling hills and woodland, is entirely private and offers wonderful views.
