Restored Former Convent with Church, Guesthouse, Two Pools and Olive Grove near Todi

This restored former convent near Todi is a substantial historic property in Umbria with an 11th-century church, guest accommodation, two swimming pools, park gardens, olive grove and open views across the Tiber Valley. The estate is in a hilly panoramic position about 8 km from Todi, with excellent paved road access and practical connections to Perugia, Orvieto, Rome and central Umbria.

The property has approximately 1,105 square metres of internal space arranged across three connected structures: the main residence, the ancient church and a separate guesthouse. There are 28 rooms in total, including 8 bedrooms, 9 bathrooms, 7 reception rooms and 4 kitchens. The layout gives the estate flexibility as a large private residence, a hospitality property, a retreat venue, or a home with guest accommodation.

The main building retains many original and traditional materials, including stone and brick walls, terracotta floors, exposed wooden beams, stone fireplaces, brick arches and columns with decorated capitals. Large windows and panoramic terraces connect the interiors to the surrounding countryside and offer wide views over the Umbrian hills and the Tiber Valley.

The historic church is one of the most important parts of the estate. Although the wider convent dates back to the 13th century, the church itself has origins in the 11th century and retains its Romanesque structure, stone façade, simple portal, bell gable, apse, and exposed timber roof. The apse includes a 16th-century fresco of the Crucifixion attributed to the school of Giovanni di Pietro, known as Lo Spagna, an artist closely associated with Umbria and Todi. The church is currently used as a contemporary art gallery and relaxation space, giving the property an unusual cultural and architectural element.

The estate covers approximately 2.6 hectares, equivalent to about 6.4 acres. The grounds include a well-maintained park garden of around 5,600 square metres, panoramic terraces, outdoor dining areas, mature trees, and approximately 1 hectare of olive grove producing Umbrian extra-virgin olive oil.
