Casale Bellaluce, Lubriano - Orvieto
Casale Bellaluce is a traditional stone built house, which was completely renovated in 2003 into 4 apartments. The makeover has been done in a very sympathetic manner, keeping many of the original features, yet bringing the property up to date and providing all the expected modern comforts.
The large inviting swimming pool is positioned in one corner of the garden; it is completely surrounded by fencing with a gate for safety. The paved pool surround is furnished with sun loungers, chairs and umbrellas.
The pool is mainly rectangular in shape with an extra section in the top left hand corner where the internal steps lead down into the refreshing water. From the pool and garden you have far reaching views across farmland to the rolling Umbrian hills in the distance.
The original farmhouse was built on this plot around 1000 AD, although the current house is much later. It was also at one time a Benedictine Monastry which is why there is the church attached to one side of the building. The area itself has been inhabited for far longer than that, it was during the renovation work that a Roman cistern was found.
The property has three separate apartments and a detached cottage. The three apartments are located in the main building and the cottage is located opposite the main house. The largest apartment is on the first floor while the ground floor houses the two smaller apartments. Each accommodation has its own private outside space where you can enjoy dining al fresco.
The large communal gardens are mainly laid to lawn with a variety of mature trees and shrubs. The owners have placed large terracotta pots throughout the grounds which are planted with brightly coloured Mediterranean flowers. The Roman cistern that was discovered during the building works can also be seen in the garden.
There is a 13th century chapel attached to the left side of the house which has lovely 16th century frescoes inside. The chapel is still consecrated and at the end of July each year there is a service held to celebrate a local religious festival.
The property is surrounded by farmland and has spectacular seemingly endless uninterrupted views across the countryside. There is a separate small apartment opposite the main house which is on a long term rental to an American lady who sometimes visits on weekends, but she is very discreet and will not disturb anyone.
