Description

Renovated period mansion in the heart of Spello. Commercial area of 349 sqm on 3 levels, with characteristic and ornate interiors. Large representative living areas, 4+1 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. Geographic position The Palazzetto di Porta Venere is located in Spello, a charming medieval town among the most beautiful in Italy, nestled on the slopes of Mount Subasio, between Assisi and Foligno. Nestled in the exceptional naturalistic setting of the Mount Subasio Park, in the green heart of Umbria, Spello is a town on a human scale, ideal for living or as a base for visiting the art cities of Umbria and central Italy: it is 10 minutes from Assisi (13 km) and about half an hour from Spoleto (34 km) and Perugia (30). Spello is perfectly connected to the main road system, with access to the superhighway just 5 minutes from the palazzetto, making it possible to reach both Rome (160 km) and Florence (174 km) in less than two hours. In addition, thanks to the Foligno-Civitanova Marche supestrada, the Adriatic Sea with its beaches is only an hour's drive away. The connection to Perugia S. Egidio International Airport (22 km), just a 20-minute drive away, is also excellent, while the airports of Rome Ciampino (176 km) and Rome Fiumicino (193 km) can be reached in just over two hours. Description of buildings The building has three levels, the last of which is attic, with a commercial area of 349 sq m living space, plus 77 sq m of attic space useful as attics. Ground floor On the ground floor we find a large entrance hall with a woodshed room and the staircase leading to the upper floors. First floor The right wing houses the large living/dining room with a large fireplace, the kitchenette, a partly lofted room currently used as a study and with a panoramic window overlooking the valley, another room, also with a panoramic view, and the bathroom. In the left wing we find a charming living room with a ceiling with decorations, a room/sitting room entirely decorated with Art Nouveau motifs, a living room with a panoramic window, the fourth room of the floor, a bathroom and a small private chapel, also with decorated walls. Second floor The second floor is attic, with a ceiling with exposed wooden beams. Part of it is used for living, with windows offering beautiful views of the Umbrian valley and glimpses of the rooftops of the historic center. There we find a large kitchen/living room with kitchenette (max h of the room 2.75 meters, minimum h 0.80 meters), a bedroom and a bathroom. On this floor there are also about 77 sq m of attic areas (with max heights of 1.5 meters) useful as an attic. The area is calculated on the basis of the net floor area including interior partitions and increased by 10% incidence for load-bearing walls. State and finishing The building has very ancient origins, as evidenced by foundations dating back to Roman times, while the attic area was elevated in the early 1900s. The property, which has been completely renovated by the current owner, including providing for the restoration of the paintings in the hall, room/sitting room and chapel, is in excellent condition. Inside, the finishes are of quality and recall the old period residence, while blending harmoniously with contemporary elements as well: ceilings with original exposed beams, refined decorations in the living room, chapel and bedroom/living room, flooring and coverings in pink perlino and walkable glass, glass and window frames in the living room, decorated room, living room and kitchen original to the period, doors designed ad hoc and made with period wood, custom-made furniture designed and made by recognized craftsmen. All to create a warm and sophisticated atmosphere. Use and potential uses For those looking for a property in which to savor the peaceful lifestyle of characteristic Umbrian villages, surrounded by silence and beauty, in a place rich in history and culture, Spello is the ideal destination. Its location also makes it unsurpassed as a starting point for excursions and trips to nearby historic centers, rich in events throughout the year (such as Umbria Jazz in Perugia and the Festival dei Due Mondi in Spoleto). Thanks to this, the property is ideal both as a private residence and for income-generating, with the possibility of including it in the international weekly vacation rental circuit.
