Borgo San Sisto is an authentic architectural jewel nestled in the Tiber River Park, on the slopes of Todi. A 13th-century medieval complex built in limestone over an ancient Roman site, it is distinguished by its imposing watchtower and the historic church dedicated to Pope Saint Sixtus. Today, it hosts three distinct residences of rare character and originality, all set within a timeless atmosphere. The residence offered for sale primarily occupies the 19th-century wing of the hamlet, spanning two levels with triple exposure. Set within its own private park and olive grove, this semi-detached farmhouse has undergone a masterly sympathetic restoration, preserving the soul of the ancient structure while offering comfort and elegance. On the ground floor, an extraordinary double-height loft, currently used as an artist's studio, is perfectly suited for a refined residential conversion. Adjacent to it, stunning raw spaces with barrel vaults offer versatile environments with direct garden access. The first floor features a magnificent enfilade of reception rooms, comprising eight inviting and elegant spaces aligned along a central axis with dual-aspect views. These rooms are enriched by decorated ceilings and walls restored by the owner: two living rooms, a dining room entirely adorned with trompe-l'oeil, a kitchen with a fireplace, three bedrooms, and three bathrooms. The library, located in the medieval part of the house, once served as the church's sacristy. Generously proportioned windows frame suggestive views of the surrounding landscape from every room. The property is completed by a productive, sun-drenched olive grove on a gentle slope-the ideal site for a swimming pool with a spectacular view of Todi-and a large pergola. It is equipped with solar panels and a pellet boiler. A sanctuary of silence between Todi and Orvieto, the property enjoys a privileged position, well-connected to Umbria's main landmarks, with Rome just 140 km away.
