Magione, Umbria 06063

With panoramic views over Lake Trasimeno, nestled amongst the rolling hills of Umbria and with a vista stretching as far as Montepulciano in nearby Tuscany, the Rocca Baglioni is a property of exceptional historical value. The origins of this impressive fortress date back to 1363. Over the centuries, the Rocca was extended, inhabited by prominent noble families and adapted to the turbulent events of history. Today, it stands as a stylishly restored residence that combines the distinctive character of bygone eras with contemporary living comfort. Originally built as a defensive structure, the castle evolved over time into a prestigious, fortified residence for the Baglioni family of Perugia. Following the destruction in the 17th century, the Rocca fell into obscurity for a long time. It was the birthplace of Guido Pompilj until, at the beginning of the 21st century, it was extensively restored with great care and a keen sense of its historical significance. Particular emphasis was placed on the selection of high-quality materials and the preservation of authentic details. The flat offered here comprises approx. 119 m² of floor space across two levels and features a separate entrance from the Roccas upper courtyard. The special atmosphere of this historic retreat unfolds the moment you step inside. The living and dining area, with its integrated kitchen corner and open fireplace, is characterised by the distinctive timber-beamed ceilings and the warm tones of traditional materials. Terracotta floors, handcrafted tiles and lovingly selected fittings create a stylish ambience that harmoniously combines comfort and authenticity. On the same level, there is also a spacious bedroom overlooking the lower courtyard and a tastefully fitted bathroom. Accessible via an internal staircase from the living and dining area, as well as through French doors from the small private road, there is a further room on the lower level. This can be used as a second bedroom for family and guests or as a study. On the opposite side of the small private road is a separate private garden of approx. 180 m² with panoramic views over the lake. A communal private car park is available to all owners of the Rocca. The exterior appearance of the Rocca is also particularly impressive. Massive natural stone walls and the striking towers bear witness to its eventful history. At the same time, the location offers exceptional tranquillity and privacy. Surrounded by the distinctive Umbrian landscape, residents enjoy a unique quality of life combining nature, culture and the Italian way of life. Lake Trasimeno, with its picturesque lakeside villages, is practically on the doorstep and invites you to enjoy walks, boat trips and culinary discoveries.
