Set in the rolling hills surrounding Città di Castello, Casa Mosaico lies within the landscape of the upper Tiber Valley. The property reflects several historical layers, ranging from Roman origins to later interventions in the 20th century.
On the lower level, a Roman mosaic dating back to the 1st century AD has been carefully restored and is protected by the Italian cultural heritage authorities. This archaeological feature gives the estate its name and remains one of its defining elements.
The property offers approximately 1,290 m² of built surface, distributed across a four-story main residence, a separate guest house, and a third residential building. The grounds extend over roughly two hectares and include landscaped gardens, mature vegetation, a pergola, and open views across the surrounding countryside.
The origins of the site date back to an 18th-century monastery built on Roman foundations, some of which are still integrated into the structure today.
In the 1980s, parts of the property were redesigned with the involvement of Japanese designer Kazuhide Takahama, most notably in the upper floor, where a more contemporary spatial layout was introduced.
The ground floor of the main house is arranged around a long 16th-century corridor connecting the various rooms. It includes a former chapel, several living rooms with fireplaces and park views, a dining room, a kitchen with direct access to the garden, and utility spaces.
The lower level offers a markedly different atmosphere. Brick-vaulted rooms, a wine cellar, and direct access to the heated swimming pool frame the most distinctive feature of the house: the original Roman mosaic preserved in situ.
The first floor contains a study, four bedrooms with walk-in closets, and a bathroom, arranged around a central hall.
The top floor has a more contemporary layout and can function as an independent living unit with bedrooms, bathrooms, a living area, and a kitchen.
The guest house of approximately 170 m² is arranged over two levels and includes a full living area with kitchen, dining space, two bedrooms, and bathrooms. A traditional wood-fired oven is located near the entrance.
The former caretaker’s house, approximately 160 m², includes garages, living areas, and additional bedrooms, and can be used as a separate unit.
Outside, the grounds feature a pergola for outdoor dining, a well-preserved 16th-century well, and a heated 16 x 9 meter swimming pool with changing rooms, a gym, and bathrooms.
The estate is just a few minutes from Città di Castello and all essential services, while maintaining a high degree of privacy in a natural setting.
