Elegant 16th-century historic Palace
Nestled in the charming "Valley of the Castles of Baiano" in Spoleto, an internationally renowned medieval art town famous for its theater festival, stands a unique 16th-century hunting lodge. Surrounded by 95 hectares of private parkland including natural springs, wooded hills and olive groves, this Baroque residence, built in 1580, retains its original layout.
The main structure extends over three levels, finely woven around two dovecote towers one incorporated, the other adorned with austere 18th-century decorations, linked by a suspended gallery. The annex includes a 17th-century chapel adorned with frescoes and antique shelters, offering potential for conversion into residential spaces as well as the adjacent henhouse.
Rooted in history, this sumptuous estate proudly hosted Galileo Galilei, whose rooms feature impeccably preserved frescoes designed specifically for the scientist's stay. Meticulously restored by the current owners, the property reveals its original floors, arches, fountains and fireplaces in grand and voluminous rooms.
This unique and extraordinary estate, harmonizing nature, art and history, is now available for sale after an extensive process of conservative restoration. The stage is set for the new owner to adapt it to his or her preferences and needs.
