Found on a vast private estate in the Umbrian hills, this beautifully restored villa has an infinity pool, wonderful outdoor living spaces and soaring views rolling hills, olive groves and forests. The perfect base for golfers or simply those looking for a luxurious countryside getaway in this authentic region of Italy.

The villa is nestled on an hill within the noble Murlo estate, one of the largest private estates in the country. The 18,000-acre estate also plays host to the Antognolla 18-hole golf course and Il Caldaro restaurant, ideal for those who would like to take a break from cooking.

The extensive renovations carried out in 2019 have retained the villa’s historic features, like stonework and wooden beams, while bringing it into the 21st century thanks to the addition of the latest appliances, luxurious fittings and a sleek infinity pool.
The complex is made up of a main villa, an annex and pool cottage. The main villa is home to a well-equipped kitchen, dining room, living area and two of the bedrooms. Two other bedrooms are found in the annex. The four en-suite bedrooms are individually decorated and have super-king sized beds, lovely headboards with colorful floral motifs and en-suite bathrooms with marble fittings and extra large showers.

The pool cottage has been transformed into an additional living room, with both an interior lounge and a pergola sitting area that overlooks the pool and the undulating hills of the valley. The L-shaped infinity pool includes a shallow “beach” area and is bordered by sunbeds.

The views can continue to be enjoyed from the shaded sitting area between the main villa and the annex as well as from the al frescodining terrace with a woodfire oven.

The villa is well located for discovering the cultural, culinary and natural pleasures of Umbria. Regional capital Perugia and famous Lake Trasimeno can be reached in less than 30 minutes whereas there are a number of picturesque medieval towns to explore in the vicinity. Many famous sites in Tuscany are only an hour or two drive away.

The 11th-century Castiglione Ugolino sits within the Murlo estate atop a hill overlooking the rolling hills of Umbria. Completely restored in 2019, the ancient castle and adjoining church and annex boast a large infinity pool and close proximity to a renowned golf course. The well-appointed 10 bedrooms with their en-suite sumptuous marble bathrooms (6 in the main unit of the villa and 4 in the annex villa) make an ideal setting for large group holidays.

Due to the vast size of the 18,000-acre estate, the former castle benefits from a secluded location surrounded by greenery and manicured grounds. The extensive renovations have maintained the historic character of the buildings all the while adding luxurious modern amenities. Fresh white walls are juxtaposed to vaulted ceilings, terracotta-tiled floors, stone fireplaces and original wall paintings.

Guests can gather in the large open-plan ground floor living room which has a comfortable sitting area with attractive leather armchairs, a dining area and a large kitchen equipped with brand new top quality appliances.

The covered pergola is the perfect place to take in the sunset over the valley before settling around the long dining table on the panoramic terrace for an dinner under the stars.

Adjacent to the villa is its private chapel, Santa Maria Maddalena, whose historic frescoes have been meticulously restored, making it an enchanting setting for weddings and other special occasions.

The castle has retained its defensive character from the outside, but four years of intensive renovation have turned the interior into an extremely welcoming and comfortable house for 14 to 35 guests.

The owners of the estate are descendants of the family of Napoleon Bonaparte and the castle has been in their family since 1830. The castle is surrounded by a park with centuries’ old trees, large lawns and a beautiful pool which looks out over the hilly 1400-acre estate. The estate is signposted with beautiful walks and in the appropriate season you can even go truffle hunting with local experts.

The reclaimed flatlands where cattle used to roam herded by the local cowboys have today largely been given over to well-husbanded vineyards yielding some of the most prestigious vintages in Italy (Sassicaia, Ornellaia). These are the surroundings of Villa Tombolino, an elegant beach house with private access to the beach.

The villa was fully refurbished to a very high decorative standard in 2008 and is a marvel of modern technology with computer controlled air conditioning, heating and lighting and many other conveniences. The house develops over three floors, each bedroom has its own bathroom.
