“Casa del Confessore” dates from to the 17th century but its foundation are much older and bring us back to the Roman age. The house has been used for centuries as the dwelling of the priest-confessor of the neighbouring convent from the 13th century; this is the reason for its nickname “Casa del Confessore” .
Thoroughly restored in 1991 and stylishly refurbished in 2006-2008, this exquisite property rises at the top of an ancient walled borgo in the county of Aquasparta, at short distance from the Roman remains of Carsulae and from the E45 motorway (5Km). Spoleto and Todi are both a circa 20 minute drive. The view from the private garden and from the house is truly breathtaking: a quiet, tranquil landscape made of sweet rolling hills without any visual or acoustic disturbances. The borgo has 250 inhabitants, with one bar and 3 restaurants. It is pedestrian only, with parking outside the town walls. Shops and amenities can be found in Acquasparta (4 km).
“Casa del Confessore” is in an excellent condition, finished with the greatest care; it is divided into 2 self-contained units, now connected one another through internal stairs; therefore it is perfectly suited for 2 households.
The main entrance, featuring a splendid stone arch, lies on the first floor, at the ground level of the upper alley. Immediately after the entrance there is an ample lobby, a lounge with an old open fireplace, the nice kitchen with Carrara marble tops and an old bricked sink, a bathroom with a shower and a study room/bedroom. On the second floor there is an ample landing, 2 huge bedrooms with loft floors, a large bathroom with jacuzzi and an additional smaller bathroom. On the ground floor, connected to the first floor through characteristic wooden stairs, but also provided with 2 independent entrances from the lower alley, there are: an additional kitchen, fully equipped, a bathroom with shower, a splendid living room with original stone-exposed walls and a fireplace, 2 huge bedrooms (one currently used as a diner/study room), an additional multi-purpose room; from this latter, one can reach the Roman grottoes (40 sq m) on the lower floor, featuring original stone vaults. The heating system of the lower units, grottoes included, is independent from the upper unit. The magnificent terraced cloister garden with ”Roman bath” - hydro massage in an antique vasca, is totally private and walled-in and boasts magnificent views; it is perfect for eating al fresco, for reading, relaxing or sun-bathing.
“Casa del confessore” is ready to move-in, perfect in every single detail; all services are hooked up, including telephone with broadband Internet.
