San Venanzo, Umbria 05010

Romantic townhouse for sale in the enchanting medieval village of Poggio Aquilone, an unspoilt jewel in the heart of Umbria, where history, authenticity and comfort come together in perfect harmony. The house rises elegantly across three floors, built directly against the ancient city wall beside the historic village gate. Restored with care and taste over the last 5 years, it offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere, where traditional details meet modern comfort. The natural brightness of the interiors, with windows on two sides, enhances the charm of each room and gives the home a particularly inviting feel. Life here unfolds with ease: on the ground floor, the kitchen and dining area open directly onto a small outdoor space, ideal for al fresco breakfasts and summer dinners. From here, an internal staircase connects the different levels of the house. A mezzanine floor provides access to the main entrance and the picturesque village piazza, while the first floor reveals the heart of the home: a living room with fireplace and balcony, complemented by a cosy study with library and a guest bathroom. The top floor is reserved for rest and privacy, offering three bedrooms. Two of them share a bathroom and one enjoys access to a balcony while the third features an en-suite bathroom. Two balconies and an outdoor sitting area offer different perspectives of the village and the surrounding countryside, providing an opportunity to savour the rhythm of Umbrian life throughout the seasons. A garage close to the house ensures secure parking and storage space. Though Poggio Aquilone has retained its quiet, timeless character, a small bar adds conviviality and vans selling fresh bread and other produce come to the piazza several times a week. Essential services are available in nearby Marsciano, just a ten minutes' drive away. A rare benefit further enriches the property: for spillover guests, holiday cottages can be rented reasonably within a 100 metres, which also provide access to a beautiful swimming pool and gardens. This property is ideal for those seeking an authentic Italian retreat, a holiday home steeped in atmosphere, or a base from which to explore Umbria and central Italy, while enjoying the serenity of a truly traditional village.
