Castle Le Rocchette

About the Property

Castle Le Rocchette is a splendid manor dating back to the 14th century, located in Umbria, halfway between Todi and Montefalco. Perched atop a green hill, it offers spectacular views of the beautiful surrounding nature, enveloped by a succession of olive groves, sunflower fields, and stretches of oak forests. A unique place where one can feel an atmosphere rich in suggestion, so picturesque it seems taken from a fairy tale. The castle, which throughout its centuries-long existence has seen a succession of owners from historic and powerful families, has undergone significant restoration (not yet completed) that has brought it back to its former glory. Externally, it features elegant facades made of natural stone that are highly evocative. Internally, it develops around a delightful inner courtyard that houses the church of St. Mary of the Conception. Features Castle Le Rocchette (totaling 1,300 sqm) consists of 4 separate bodies: the noble residence, the watchtower, the central body that also houses the church, and a 19th-century building. The noble residence, completely restored, is spread over two raised floors (first and second). The first floor is introduced by a spacious double-height entrance with a balcony, a historical bas-relief, and a frescoed ceiling from 1769. It boasts a large panoramic kitchen with wooden ceilings, a sink, and a fireplace. It features a beautiful living room with arrow slits and a large noble hall with a fireplace. The study, hallway, and services complete this floor. On the second floor, there are four beautiful bedrooms and services. The first has trusses and lookout seats, the second has a loft and access to the upper floor, the third has a bathroom and a ceiling with tiles, and the fourth is raised. The quadrangular watchtower is made of sandstone. It features pointed arch windows, arrow slits, and “Colombare” holes. The approved recovery project foresees the development of the tower over six levels and the addition of brick corbels at the top. The central body is articulated over multiple levels. On the ground floor, a series of rooms, originally intended for cellars, warehouses, and stables with a feeding trough, are planned to be converted into a restaurant. On the first and second levels, there are 6 unfinished apartments intended for rental, with stone walls and classic stone slab flooring from the era, and ceilings made of tiles and beams. The 19th-century building is a beautiful two-story residence connected to the tower, overlooking the castle’s inner courtyard and the surrounding countryside. Exteriors Castle Le Rocchette features a large external courtyard that surrounds the manor on three sides. An important area introduced by a splendid winding avenue leads to the 14th-century courtyard that houses the church of Santa Maria dell’Immacolata Concezione, which contains an interesting cycle of 16th-century frescoes.
