The Property
Perched high in the hills of Umbria, just 20 minutes from Città di Castello, Il Palazzo is a luxurious 18th-century estate that offers an unparalleled experience of refined living in the heart of Italy. With its 9 exquisite suites, this exclusive retreat accommodates up to eighteen guests, providing an opulent escape surrounded by the natural beauty of the Umbrian countryside. The villa’s fifty-acre estate, featuring olive groves, citrus trees, and vineyards, perfectly embodies the harmony between luxury and nature.

The estate’s outdoor spaces are nothing short of breathtaking, offering guests numerous opportunities to bask in the beauty of the surrounding landscape. The expansive hillside lawn and terraces provide stunning panoramic views of the Tiber Valley and the rolling hills beyond. Guests can relax by the large invisible-edge pool, where the horizon seems to blend with the distant mountains. The estate’s gardens are filled with the scents of citrus and olive trees, adding to the sensory delights of the surroundings.

Dining al fresco is a highlight at Il Palazzo, with the estate’s terraces and lawns offering perfect settings for enjoying meals prepared by Chef Patrizio. The chef sources much of the ingredients from the villa’s own gardens, ensuring fresh, hearty Umbrian-Mediterranean cuisine that can be savoured against the backdrop of the ever-changing colours of the landscape. For those cooler evenings, the candlelit dining room with its vaulted ceiling offers a romantic and intimate dining experience.

Step inside Il Palazzo, and you are greeted by a world of elegance and sophistication. Each of the three floors features its own art-filled living room, adorned with a curated selection of books. From rare garden books to biographies of historical figures, the reading materials offer a glimpse into a highly civilised world. The interiors are a testament to craftsmanship, with Florentine artists having spent over two years creating masterful faux surfaces, intricate ceiling patterns, and unique colour schemes for each room.

The villa’s nine suites, including seven in the main palazzo and two in a charming palazzina below the house, are sanctuaries of comfort and style. High ceilings, exposed beams made from reclaimed wood, and large windows that open to the hillside breezes characterise each suite. The rooms are furnished with English-made linens with a silk content, ensuring a luxurious sleeping experience. The bathrooms are grand, some featuring old-fashioned bear-claw tubs, and all are designed to offer a sense of indulgence.

Dining at Il Palazzo is an experience. Chef Patrizio’s creations, inspired by the rich culinary traditions of Umbria, are a highlight of any stay. Guests can enjoy cooking classes led by the chef, learning to make homemade pastas and breads in a fun and engaging environment. The estate’s wine cellar, illuminated by grand chandeliers, offers an impressive selection of wines, perfect for pairing with the meals or enjoying during a quiet evening.

For those seeking relaxation and rejuvenation, the villa offers a range of activities, from lounging by the pool to taking long walks on the hillside trails.
