Prodo

Authentic living in the heart of Umbria, overlooking a medieval castle

On the outskirts of the charming castle village of Prodo, nestled amongst the rolling hills of Umbria, lies this fully restored property, brimming with character and charm. Situated on a quiet little square next to the imposing 13th-century castle of Prodo, this exceptional house offers a unique combination of historical authenticity, comfort and breathtaking views.

From the secluded little square, you can enjoy a magnificent view of the castle’s oldest façade and the unspoilt nature reserve of the Parco Fluviale del Lago di Corbara. On the other side of the village, a panoramic view unfolds over the Umbrian countryside as far as the Apennines, which are often covered in snow in winter.

The property has a living area of approximately 50 m² and is spread over two floors. On the ground floor, there is a cosy kitchen-diner, a charming sitting area and a fireplace that creates a warm, authentic atmosphere. On the first floor, you will find a spacious bedroom, a bathroom, a second toilet and a balcony. The house also features two practical storage rooms in the basement.

The house was originally built around 1890 and has been renovated with great care and attention to quality. The characteristic natural stone walls, 60 to 70 cm thick, ensure a pleasant indoor climate. For added comfort, the property is fitted with air conditioning.

The fully equipped kitchen features a hob with both gas and electric cooking options, an oven, fridge, freezer and dishwasher. The bathroom is fully fitted with a shower, washbasin, toilet and bidet.

A particular highlight is the tasteful interior design, much of which is included in the sale. Various pieces of furniture and interior features have been crafted by Fausto Sangiovanni, an internationally renowned furniture maker who draws on Orvieto’s centuries-old woodcarving tradition.

Life in an authentic Italian village

Prodo has a population of only around 50 to 60 and still exudes the atmosphere of traditional Italian village life. Around the large piazza, directly in front of the castle, residents meet for a cup of coffee in the local bar. The community consists of local residents, Romans with second homes and a number of international residents, creating a warm and close-knit social atmosphere.

Despite its peaceful location, all amenities are easily accessible. A small supermarket is just 5 km away, whilst a wider range of shops, restaurants and a railway station are approximately 16 km away. The beautiful town of Orvieto, famous for its cathedral, charming streets and excellent cuisine, is just 20 km away. Thanks to its convenient location near the motorway between Florence and Rome, Rome’s international airports can also be reached in around an hour and a half.

An ideal home for lovers of tranquillity, nature and authentic Italy

This property, with its very attractive price, is an excellent choice as a second home, holiday home or romantic retreat in one of the most beautiful parts of Umbria. A move-in-ready house with character, history and an exceptional location in one of the most authentic corners of Italy.
