Città di Castello Umbria Quality Villa property

Villa delle Palme is a splendid large luxury villa, boasting an elegant Liberty Style facade that blends seamlessly with its surroundings, offering unparalleled privacy while being just a short walk from the vibrant heart of Città di Castello. This property, exceeding 400 sqm in size, is nestled within a secluded garden, encased by tall walls. Entry is through a gate, leading up a stone staircase flanked by majestic palm trees that enhance the symmetrical beauty of its exterior. Dating from the 1920s, it stands elevated behind high walls that sequester it from the tranquil Piazza San Francesco.

The villa’s prime location ensures easy access to the amenities in the bustling historic centre of Città di Castello and swift connectivity to the E45 motorway, facilitating travel across the Tiber Valley and to Rome, which is just over a two-hour drive away.

Spanning four levels, the heart of the villa is a beautiful staircase in honey-toned wood that spirals around the core structure, accompanied by a modern ivory-panelled lift for effortless movement across floors, from the basement to the attic.

The ground floor features an entrance hall, living room, cosy corner, kitchen with veranda, bathroom, and a fully equipped laundry room. Direct garden access from these living spaces creates an idyllic setting for social gatherings and peaceful relaxation in complete privacy.

Ascending to the first floor, there are two double bedrooms, one with a spacious en-suite bathroom and a 20 sqm terrace offering views of the historic centre’s rooftops. A dressing room and a second bathroom separate these bedrooms.

On the second floor, the property offers an additional bedroom, bathroom and a space with provision for use as a kitchen with direct access to the sunny 60-sqm terrace overlooking the square, which the owners have already arranged for conversion into a sunbathing area with Jacuzzi tub.

A staircase from the ground floor descends to a corridor, cleverly designed as a cloakroom, leading to a wine cellar. This inviting space, crafted from large wooden planks and featuring modular wine racks, creates a perfect atmosphere for wine tasting, centred around a circular table with solid wood stools.

In the opposite direction, the corridor opens to an apartment with its own entrance from the adjacent alley, designed to host guests with their privacy intact. This apartment spans two levels, with a living room on the street level and, a few steps up, a dining room, kitchen, bathroom, and double bedroom.

To the right of the villa is a dedicated area for firewood storage and a shelter for motorcycles and bicycles.

No restoration is required for this property, as it has been recently refurbished (2018) to the highest standards of modern living while carefully preserving its original Art Nouveau charm. Villa delle Palme exudes harmony both inside and out, with all materials, finishes, and fixtures selected to complement the building’s style, accommodating bespoke furnishings that respect its architectural heritage.
