House for sale, Umbria, Italy

This house for sale in Umbria is a very special property. A former abbey and church, it lies at the foot of the hill topped by the Umbrian hilltown of Todi.

The house, measuring 450 square metres over two floors, once belonged to the Knights of Malta and to a religious order in the Middle Ages. At that time it was used as a hostel and inn for pilgrims walking to Rome. You can still still see the old frescoes in the area occupied by the church.

Today the property is a farmhouse surrounded by fields, near to a stream, and handily situated for the shops on the fringes of Todi. From the farmhouse you can see hilltop Todi, the rolling green hills and fields planted with sunflowers and corn.

The house was last inhabited in December 2004. This house could be the ideal venue for a bed and breakfast or for a holiday village. There is available of a renovation project to convert it a holiday hamlet with gardens, porches and pool.
