Period apartment for sale: Umbria

Castles, wine estates and country properties: La Verde

Umbria, known as the green heart of Italy, is the fourth-smallest region in the country. Its landscape is shaped by Lake Trasimeno - the fourth-largest lake in Italy - as well as rolling hills and mountain ranges. The region is renowned for olive oil production, wine growing and traditional agriculture.

On the international property market, Umbria often remains in the shadow of neighbouring Tuscany, although it offers comparable architectural and landscape qualities. Historic wine estates, agricultural properties and characteristic stone houses reflect the region’s long rural heritage.

Artists and creative residents have transformed historic structures in La Verde - including medieval watchtowers, country properties and former religious buildings - into homes and workspaces.

Medieval castles are widespread throughout Umbria. Built in strategic locations, many of these fortifications still define the hilltop landscapes of the region today.
