Stunning 15th-century Relais With Pools And Spa In Umbria

In the leafy heart of Umbria, among the rolling hills of Castiglione del Lago and just a few minutes from the town centre, lies this exclusive relais for sale. The property, which extends over a vast plot of 12 hectares, comprises 1,500 sqm within a 15th-century building complex. Surrounded by nature, the property boasts a charming private park, 17,000 sqm of vineyards, 30,000 sqm of olive groves and arable land for a further 50,000 sqm. With a total of 15 bedrooms, the property is now dedicated to accommodation and offers every imaginable comfort, including a splendid outdoor swimming pool, a spa, a fitness trail amidst centuries-old olive trees and vineyards, and a characteristic tree house that is at a height of four metres.

The property is located in the heart of a charming village on the shores of Lake Trasimeno, in an area rich in history and natural beauty. A few kilometres away, there are places of interest such as Perugia, Assisi and Magione, all reachable in a short time. This privileged position allows you to enjoy the tranquillity of the Umbrian countryside, without giving up the convenience of being well connected to the main communication routes. Surrounded by the Crete Senesi and green hills, the location is ideal for those seeking a peaceful retreat immersed in nature.

The relais was built on the remains of an ancient monastery founded by Olivetan monks in the 15th century, a characteristic that makes this property unique. The main building, which retains original architectural details such as exposed beams, barrel vaults and stone walls, has been skilfully restored to retain its historic charm. Next to the former convent, a more recently built annexe houses a wellness centre complete with an indoor pool, sauna, Turkish bath and massage rooms, offering guests a luxury experience in a unique historical setting.

The interior of the relais is a perfect blend of history and modernity. The main building is on three levels: on the ground floor, we find the reception, a living area, a bar and a restaurant divided between the old refectory with exposed beams and a panoramic bistro. There are four bedrooms with en suite bathrooms, as well as several relaxation areas and technical rooms for staff. On the first floor, there is a second living area connected to a large terrace, accompanied by nine bedrooms with en suite bathrooms. The second floor houses the last two bedrooms, also with an en suite bathroom. The property is completed by an exclusive suite located in a 40-sqm tree house, and further spaces dedicated to relaxation and conviviality, including a billiard room set up in the convent's old church.

The exterior of the relais is a true paradise for lovers of nature and relaxation. The 23,000 square metre garden is enhanced by a 15 x 7.5 metre outdoor swimming pool, surrounded by lavender bushes and fruit trees, with a panoramic patio equipped with comfortable lounges for relaxation. Next to the outdoor pool, an outdoor fitness trail winds through the olive groves and vineyards, offering guests an immersive experience in nature. The vineyard produces Sangiovese and Merlot grapes, while the olive grove, with its 390 trees, guarantees the production of high-quality olive oil. The large park is perfect for outdoor events such as weddings, graduation parties and private celebrations, with numerous romantic corners and spaces dedicated to conviviality.

Purchasing this property is immersing oneself in an unparalleled oasis of peace and beauty, where every detail is designed to offer a unique and unforgettable experience. The perfect fusion of the historical charm of the former 15th century convent and modern comfort including spa and swimming pools makes this relais an unmissable opportunity for those who dream of a life immersed in nature. Situated in one of Italy's most picturesque regions, this location allows guests to enjoy the traditions, good food and breathtaking landscape of Umbria. The proximity to cities of great cultural and artistic interest such as Perugia and Assisi, and the possibility of living each season in a unique landscape context, make this property a perfect choice both as a receptive investment and as a luxury home.
