Historic Palazzo in Umbria, Italy
Palazzo Santi Terzi is set within the historic centre of San Gemini in Umbria, awarded the title of one of the most beautiful villages in Italy.
Offering postcard views over the rolling Umbrian hills, the hilltop village is located on an ancient Roman road about halfway between Rome and Florence.
Dating back to the 16th century, the palazzo was built on the remains of a Roman building which can still be seen in the cellars on the lower floor.
In the 1700s, the palazzo belonged to Antonio Canova, considered the greatest Neoclassical sculptor of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.
Beautifully restored and updated for modern living, the period palazzo has retained much of its charm with terracotta tile floors, beamed ceilings, and stone walls.
Run as a boutique accommodation in the heart of Umbria, the palazzo comes with several independent apartments accessed by an internal staircase, offering a total of 15 bedrooms, including a medieval tower with a panoramic terrace.
The historic palazzo is completely fenced and surrounded by a private park with a heated swimming pool.
A cobbled path provides direct access to the historic streets of San Gemini with markets, restaurants, and a charming piazza.
Close to the best attractions in Italy’s Green Heart, the palazzo is just 30 minutes from Todi and Spoleto, and an hour from Assisi and Peugia.
