If
you would like to live a dream, taking in the magical atmosphere of living
in a palazzo from the 15th century - Palazzo Costaguti is the perfect
place. Situated near Orvieto, the palazzo sits on top of a high hill,
forming part of the central square of an antique village of 200 people,
from where one can enjoy the stunning panorama of the surrounding countryside.
Time seems to have stopped in this small village, with its characteristic
piazza, onto which the entrance of the palazzo faces. The owners, descendants
from the noble family that built the palazzo, have recently restored the
building with excellent taste, respecting all of the historical characteristics
of the palazzo, from the carved wooden ceilings to the original frescoes,
particularly delightful in the dining room. The entrance hall is decorated
with antique arms and family emblems, reminding you of the glorious times
of the palazzo. The palazzo is divided into three levels: the ground floor
where two elegant apartments have been renovated, both with an independent
entrance; the first floor or "Piano Nobile", given this name as the original
noble family lived here; the second floor - divided into seven apartments
for rent. The privacy of the Piano Nobile is guaranteed in regards to
the other two levels, as the very high ceilings and thick walls stop any
noise penetrating from the other floors. Elegance and attention to detail
can be found everywhere on the Piano Nobile, due to the professional work
of the owner's wife, a brilliant architect who personally designed some
of the décor. All of the baths are elegantly restored and follow the style
of the palazzo. In the lower part of the village, a three minute walk
from the palazzo, there is a splendid garden with a private pool. The
garden is located between the countryside and the last houses of the village.
It is partially fenced by the antique walls of the property and some plants.
A wall separates the pool area from the outside dining area that consists
of a BBQ, cooking area and an original open air bathroom. For groups of
more than 10 people, it is also possible to use one or two of the apartments
on the ground floor, reaching a capacity of 14 people. The pool is for
the exclusive use of the guests in the Piano Nobile and the two ground
floor apartments, only if they are part of the same group. PIANO NOBILE
