    THE TORRE DELLA JACCERA

    One of the property's most valuable features is the historic Torre della Jaccera, a remarkable medieval tower that stands as a testament to Torgiano's rich history.

    Its name recalls an ancient icehouse, likely linked to its exposure towards the Apennine Mountains, from where the coldest winter winds would arrive.

    The tower is an authentic historical and architectural treasure. It currently requires careful restoration, offering the opportunity to further enhance one of the property's most distinctive and fascinating features.

    PROPERTY CONDITION

    The residence is fully habitable and reflects the characteristics of a property renovated during the 1980s, while preserving its original charm and historic character.

    To fully realise its exceptional potential, the interiors would benefit from a programme of modernisation, allowing the future owner to tailor the property to contemporary standards, whether as a prestigious private residence or a luxury hospitality business.

    An important added value is the roof, which was completely replaced approximately 15 years ago, providing a solid foundation for any future enhancement project.

    THE VILLAGE OF TORGIANO

    Torgiano is one of Umbria's most renowned villages, celebrated for its outstanding wine-making and gastronomic traditions. It is home to the historic Lungarotti Winery, internationally recognised for helping establish Umbria among Italy's finest wine-producing regions.

    The village also hosts a number of popular cultural events, including the famous Vinarelli Festival, where artists create paintings using wine instead of paint, and Torgiano Sotto le Stelle, a summer festival featuring music, entertainment and evening events that bring the historic centre to life and attract visitors throughout the year.

    Its strategic location, close to Perugia, Assisi, Spello and Umbria International Airport, makes Torgiano an attractive destination for both Italian and international visitors.

    DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL
