Poggio Bello

This elegant five-bedroom farmhouse is fully renovated and surrounded by a generous garden and pool in stunning countryside.


Nestled in a secluded valley in the hills northeast of Perugia, this charming 18th-century farmhouse enjoys privacy and greenery while remaining just an 11-minute drive from the heart of this vibrant, cosmopolitan city.

The current owners undertook a complete renovation in 2005, carefully preserving the home’s authentic character—barrel-vaulted ceilings and exposed wooden beams—while introducing refined upgrades for modern comfort. Warm wooden flooring runs throughout, and outside, a generous swimming pool framed by a handmade cotto-tile surround creates a classic Italian setting for summer living.

With five spacious bedrooms, the property is ideally suited as a family residence or a welcoming home for entertaining. The kitchen, positioned on the first floor, opens onto a rear terrace that captures the morning sun and features a beautiful raised fireplace—an elegant reminder of the farmhouse’s centuries-old origins.

Set within almost two hectares of private land, the house is embraced by a lawned garden and mature trees. Weeping willows provide shade beside the pool, complemented by walnut trees, fruit orchards, and a small olive grove. A charming outbuilding, currently used for storage, offers excellent potential for restoration and additional accommodation or leisure space, subject to permissions.

The large eat-in kitchen is typical of a house of this period. Located on the first floor, it boasts a very large, raised fireplace and a beautiful double window. It connects to a pantry and is next door to a cosy sitting area that opens onto the terrace behind the house that catches the morning sun and makes a perfect place for breakfast.

Double doors lead to a large billiard room. All the rooms on the ground floor have direct garden access.
