Velia

Its very symmetric layout, with elegant entrance and stairs, its unique view toward the historical center of Orvieto, that it seems to be touchable with one finger, the extra annex to be refurbished and its private chapel make all this villa, a real dream


Nestled in the peaceful countryside with sweeping panoramic views toward the iconic hilltop town of Orvieto, close to the town of Porano, this elegant villa that dates back to XVII century, offers a rare opportunity to own a timeless piece of Umbria. Surrounded by several hectares of gently rolling land, the property provides both privacy and a quintessential Italian elegan charme of old villas.

The main villa is a beautifully plastered residence, blending charm with elegance as the old ladylike villa can provide . Spacious and light-filled interiors and original architectural details reflect the character of the region.

A first restoration has been conducted in 1966 and a second one, in which few details have been changed, has been done finishing in 2007.

Set apart from the main house, the property includes an annex with tremendous potential. While in need of refurbishment, it offers ample space for a guesthouse, artist’s studio, or additional accommodation.

Adding to the uniqueness of this estate is a historic chapel on the grounds: it retains a serene and atmospheric presence—ideal for events, or just as per architectural enhancement.

Whether as a private residence, vacation home, or investment opportunity, this estate is a rare gem in the Umbrian countryside, combining breathtaking views, authentic character, and development potential—all just a short drive from the cultural treasures of Orvieto.
