Prestigious period estate for sale in
In the heart of Assisi, just steps from Piazza del Comune, stands a magnificent 19th-century palace that blends history, art, and elegance. With 700 sqm of interiors across two main floors plus an annex, the estate features 30 sqm of balconies and terraces, crowned by a spectacular rooftop terrace overlooking the Temple of Minerva and Assisi’s medieval rooftops. A rare convenience accompanies its historic charm: a 22-sqm garage located just 50 metres away. Built in the mid-19th century by the Fioretti family and later enriched by the noble Cilleni-Nepis family, the palace boasts interiors adorned with frescoes, stuccoes, and period furnishings. Among its treasures is the “Dante room,” painted by Umbrian artist Matteo Tassi in 1870. The palace even hosted King Umberto I of Italy in 1882, a visit still commemorated by a plaque. The layout offers 12 rooms and 3 bathrooms on the first floor, an annex with two bedrooms, and 14 rooms with additional bathrooms on the upper level. Lavish halls with coffered ceilings, frescoed vaults, marble fireplaces, and gilded mouldings create a princely atmosphere. With its panoramic terrace, noble history, and proximity to Assisi’s landmarks, this estate is ideal as both a private residence and a refined luxury retreat. Ref: 14439
