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 18th century farmhouse is just 11 minutes’ drive from the centre of the cosmopolitan city.

Fully renovated by the current owners in 2005, they retained the property’s original charm, including the barrel-vaulted ceilings and exposed wooden beams. Newer additions include wooden flooring throughout and the large pool with handmade cotto tile surround.

With five generously sized bedrooms, it’s the perfect house for a large family or for hosting guests. The kitchen, located on the first floor with doors to a terrace at the back of the property that gets the morning sun, features a beautiful, raised fireplace – a nod to the house’s centuries-old roots.

The house is surrounded by nearly a hectare of private land that includes a lawned garden and mature trees. Weeping willows offer shade by the pool and there are also walnut trees, fruit orchards, and a small olive grove. A charming outbuilding currently used as a storage shed presents an exciting opportunity for further restoration.

Layout

Bedrooms

There are five double bedrooms, four of which are upstairs. Only one is currently in use as a bedroom and it has a wooden staircase leading up to a beamed mezzanine. The other three rooms on this floor are currently in use as a library and two studies. The downstairs bedroom is a self-contained en-suite apartment with a large private sitting room.

Bathrooms

There are five bathrooms. There is also a guest toilet/shower room on the ground floor.

Kitchen

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.

Living room

The spacious ground-floor sitting room was once the stables and it still has the typical vaulted ceiling and archways. An open fire in the corner is a new addition, likewise the pale wooden floor. Double doors lead to a large billiard room. All the rooms on the ground floor have direct garden access.

Other rooms

There’s a large laundry area and technical room on the ground floor. The property benefits from large amounts of secure storage space downstairs and there’s a 20sqm steel shed at the far end of the property for storing garden tools.
