Historic center of Assisi - we offer for sale a prestigious villa of great historical and artistic value. Framed by the Rocca Maggiore and the Minor, overlooking the Cathedral of San Rufino and the Valley of the Wolf, this home is unique in the Umbrian landscape. The history of the villa began in 1300, when it was the seat of the Brotherhood of St. Lawrence, and reached the height of its splendor when the property passed into the hands of the Countess of Berkeley who fell in love with the city of Assisi, and bought it in 1933 and made a artistic coterie attended by the most important artists of the era. A large gate, with a large wooden door surmounted by a fresco of Cola Petruccioli (about 1394), gives access to the villa. The outdoor space is articulated on various levels whose steps are enriched by flower beds and testimonies of the history of the place. From the first level adjacent to the entrance, where it is clearly visible the bottom of medieval apse, we arrive at a grand piano terrace that features a hot tub with a water heating system, with breathtaking views of the cathedral San Rufino, a fountain with Roman elements, panoramic corners with tables and chairs. The interior space is spread longitudinally from a large hall covered by the original terracotta floor from the Upper Basilica of San Francesco, then moved to another living roomroom, to the kitchen, to a library up to a bright dining room. On the west side a pointed arch opens the passage to a hallway that leads to the sacristy of an old medieval deconsecrated church, now used as a recording studio. In the same wing, along the stairs you will find the three bedrooms, all with private bath and two with fireplace. That mansion on the top floor has a terrace of 15 sqm with a unique view of the Rocca Maggiore, on Rocchicciola and the Valley of the Wolf. The wooden ceilings (some painted), antique doors, floors, emphasize the research and attention to detail in the furnishings of the villa that the countess considered his masterpiece. The property also includes a garage of 60 square meters, while the location, scenic but convenient, allows you reach the square in 5 minutes walk. The international airport of Perugia, which has daily flights to London, it is only 13 km.
