A historical gem with a cinematic soul - the estate of Michelangelo Antonioni

Amidst the rolling hills of Bovara di Trevi in the picturesque province of Perugia, Umbria, an estate of exceptional beauty and historical significance awaits you. This farmhouse with medieval origins was once the retreat of the famous director Michelangelo Antonioni - a place where creative visions came to life and unforgettable masterpieces were created.
The estate is perched 300 metres above sea level and offers breathtaking views over the Valle Umbra. Surrounded by a well-tended olive grove that extends over 6,000 m², the property is a haven of peace and inspiration. A fully fenced area guarantees privacy and security.
Historic flair and authentic details
The property comprises three buildings with a total area of around 800 m². Two of the buildings are connected and masterfully combine the traditional charm of their medieval origins with many lovingly preserved details. The rooms impress with their brightness and inviting atmosphere, which emphasises the character of the property in an impressive way.
The main house boasts a spacious dining room with seating for up to 14 people and a cosy living room with a fireplace. A highlight is the large, fully equipped kitchen, which also has a fireplace. The kitchen offers direct access to a terrace area and a garden - ideal for al fresco dining.
On the upper floor there is a large master bedroom and a bathroom, which is fitted with marble and impresses with its spaciousness. A walk-in closet and a small study on an open gallery complete this area. The bedroom has independent access through a charming arched loggia.
The room opens onto a cosy living room with a fireplace, from which a single bedroom and a mezzanine with a further single bed can be accessed. The two single bedrooms share a bathroom with bathtub and a walk-in closet and offer flexible usage options.
Independent guest wings:
The first guest wing has a bedroom with en-suite bathroom, a large cloakroom and a laundry room on the ground floor. The upper area offers a further bedroom, a bathroom, a living room with fireplace and a small kitchen with its own access.
The second guest wing consists of three charming bedrooms, each with its own access from the garden. Each room is uniquely designed and has a bed located on an open gallery, a cosy living area and an en-suite bathroom. This well thought-out layout makes the guest wing a perfect retreat for guests who value privacy and comfort.
An inspiring place with a cinematic history.
Another part of the house relates directly to Michelangelo Antonioni's creative past. His former study, a quiet and light-flooded room, has been carefully preserved and reflects the atmosphere in which some of his ground-breaking ideas may have been conceived. Directly adjacent is a spacious room that Antonioni used to use as a film projection room.
This room, furnished with charming period furniture, offers an authentic insight into the world of the famous director. Today, it could be used as an inspiring venue for cultural events, creative projects or private film evenings.
Another remarkable detail is the wine cellar, which is located in a former cistern with an impressive vaulted ceiling. This extraordinary room adds an extra historical touch to the property and is the perfect place to store and present the finest wines.
A paradise in the open air
A highlight of the property is the 14 x 6 metre mosaic heated swimming pool with hydromassage system. Next to the pool you will find a covered outdoor kitchen with a stone sink, barbecue and a long table for up to 20 people - perfect for socialising in the midst of nature. Both the pool and the outdoor kitchen are fenced and offer maximum security.
Ideal location for culture and relaxation
The location of this property is just as spectacular as its easy accessibility: Trevi 1 km, Spoleto 12 km, Assisi 30 km, Perugia 45 km, Rome 150 km, Florence 200 km.
