Villa Delizia is a prestigious historic residence, located in a hilly and scenic position just 1 km from Spoleto, Umbria’s renowned city of art. Cantata da S. Francesco, extolled by famous visitors of the past such as Goethe and Michelangelo, a candidate to become a UNESCO World Heritage Site (in the Italia Longobardorum project), Spoleto is a splendid, amiable city which stands out in the international scene thanks to the artistic and cultural initiatives. Without a doubt the most important event is the Festival dei Due Mondi. In addition to interesting artistic and historic opportunities, this area in Central Italy is the perfect destination for its fascinating religious itineraries, interesting gastronomy, and the countless opportunities for regenerating outdoor activities. Villa Delizia is nestled in this exceptional setting, an inhabited and unsecluded area on the edge of the center of Spoleto, protected by a splendid 2.3 hectare park with a swimming pool. The highway is less than 5 minutes away, connecting Villa Delizia to some of the most famous cities of art in Umbria known worldwide, such as Assisi (49 km) and Todi (42 km). A bit further down the road is Perugia (58 km) and Orvieto (79 km). Rome (124 km) and Florence (192 km) are easy to reach by car or train. The railway station is just 3 km away and the Perugia “S. Egidio” airport only 60 km away.

An elegant row of sculpted hedges and high trees make way from the entry gate to the villa that appears in its simple elegance. A lovely garden opens up in front of the entrance way, full of plants dominated by an imposing horse-chestnut tree. Here, a gazebo shaded with vines, creating a peaceful oasis to read and mediate looking out to the evocative view towards the valley.

LAND: The external layout is well cared for and a great contribution to the noble and landmark character of the property. The large 2.3 hectare park is embellished with high trees and promenades edged with flowering hedges. The vast lawns are outlined by skillfully combined bushes that create angles with different shades of green. The private area has a beautiful swimming pool, served by a small wooden outbuilding and surrounded by a spacious flat lawn. The park also has a small kitchen garden located in front of the tavern.

GENERAL CONDITIONS: The villa is in general good condition.
