Description of buildings
The Castello del Cavaliere is a striking fortification with an important historical value. Its history goes back to ancient times, as it dates back to the year 608.
The property consists of the Castle, an adjacent Villa, and over 4.5 hectares of land, with an olive grove of 350 trees that produces olives and olive oil.
Due to its commanding position at 337 meters above sea level, it was an important outpost of defence from enemies and it suffered numerous attacks over the centuries, some of which led to its partial or total destruction.
The castle was also in the "Byzantine Corridor," a portion of territory administered by the Byzantines and the only link between Rome and Ravenna during the period when the Goths and Lombards settled on the peninsula.
In the 1400s, the fortification was an outpost that defended the Umbrian territory. Later on the small village that currently exists, and is inhabited, was created around it.
The Castle - 1,700 sq. M. Net saleable area, plus terraces and courtyard
The castle is being renovated and it has undergone structural consolidation work and re-roofing. Most of the flooring, the facilities and the existing frescoes were also renovated.
It consists of two contiguous blocks connected by inside stairs and external entrances.
On the ground floor, the plan is to build a reception area, large reception rooms, two restaurant rooms, the kitchens, a cafeteria room, and restrooms.
From this floor you can reach the beautiful panoramic terraces.
On the second floor there are more common living areas, an additional kitchen and 4 studios with bathrooms.
On the second floor there is a large apartment with a large entrance hallway, kitchen, dining room, living room, study, two bedrooms with bathrooms and two additional bathrooms.
The Villa (net saleable area of about 998 sq.m)
The Villa has four floors in addition to the two floors of the turret.
The current renovation was limited to the conservation and restoration of the walls and the laying of only the beams that will support the floors.
The original floors were recovered and preserved, and they can be reassembled.
The renovation project involves the construction of 6 apartments, each with its own living area, two bedrooms and two bathrooms, and common and service areas in the basement.
The measurements provided indicate the liveable surface area.
The liveable surface area is the same as the walkable surface area (which includes internal walls) plus 10% to take into account supporting walls.
The surface area occupied by stairs may only be calculated once.
State and finishing
The current architectural layout of the Castello del Cavaliere is the result of the transformation of the building over the centuries, at the hands of the various families who owned it, until the very last works, which were responsible for the frescoed ceilings.
In the basement part of the castle, the grotto was also restored. It is a long tunnel entirely dug into the rock, taking us back to the past of the fortification, as we imagine it was used as a secret passage to be able to escape outside the walls in case of siege (currently the tunnel is closed).
The sales price refers to the current state of the renovation, as shown in the photos, and also includes the exterior windows and doors (not yet installed).
External areas
The land is over 4.5 hectares, with 350 olive trees that produce olives.
Within the surrounding walls there are wonderful panoramic terraces, one of which has a lake view.
If you’re interested, you can request a permit to build a swimming pool.
Use and potential uses
The renovation of the Castle and Villa includes numerous large spaces for hosting guests and events, and the rooms and apartments make the property perfect as a high-end accommodations facility.
