At the back of the villa there is another building with a large garage and an area currently used as a gym.
State and finishing
Villa has been fully restored both structurally and in terms of insulation, both for heat and soundproofing, and also the internal finishings, all excellent quality and made in Italy.
The kitchens are custom-designed and feature fitted appliances.
The bedrooms and sitting rooms have parquet flooring.
The shutters are wood with double glazing.
The bathrooms are finished with the best quality tiles.
The shutters are unbreakable metal with locks and mosquito screens.
All the cupboards in the bedrooms and the living areas were custom made by hand, by a local carpenter.
External areas
The grounds, landscaped with tall trees and evergreens for guaranteed privacy, measure around 6600 sq.m, are fully fenced in and benefit from automatic irrigation and security camera systems.
Within the grounds there are little lanes which provide access both to the ground and basement floors of the villa, and a large parking area.
Situated a little above the villa, the recently-built swimming pool measures 10x6 m and features tuff and travertine coping and a panoramic view of Orvieto.
Use and potential uses
The villa is ideal both as a permanent residence, thanks to its proximity to Orvieto, or a holiday home.
The current layout, as two apartments, with the additional possibility of separating the basement floor, also makes it an interesting prospect for those looking for a place for two family units or for those who would like to generate an income by renting out the areas not in use on a weekly basis.
