Standing on a small hillock in outstanding countryside with splendid views in every direction, you can find this lovely complex of buildings. Formerly a rural parish, a meeting place for believers who lived in the surrounding countryside, it was meticulously restored in the 1990s to create a private home and accommodations for international tourists.
This extensive property lies over a plot of land of almost 4 hectares, which on one hand provides a lot of privacy and on the other hand allows to have a small vineyard of Bianchello wine, in addition to fruit trees, for production of home-made, organic jam.
There is no swimming pool at the moment, but it could be built in several panoramic spots of the garden.
Former farmworkers’ cottage is a handsomely restored 18th-century stone cottage, covering an area of 166 m², that provides exceptional accommodation for up to 4 people. Upstairs are 2 spacious double bedrooms and 2 bathrooms (one en suite). Downstairs are a sitting room and a country kitchen, both opening on a delightful and private south-facing garden and paved terrace with a pergola where you can enjoy breathtaking views of the nearby high mountains as you sip your Italian wine.
Attached to the main building, there is the old San Cristoforo church, built in the 1700s and now no longer consecrated. This part was restored in 2002 and measures about 83 m²: it is now a lovely independent apartment for guests, boasting a four-metre high, pitched ceiling, and composed of a very large open-space room in the former nave, featuring a sitting area, kitchen and dining zone, with direct exit to a lovely terraced area overlooking the vineyard with uninterrupted views of delightful rolling hills. A double bedroom with en-suite bathroom has been made in the sacristy.

The main building was originally the old canonica, the priest’s house attached to the church. It was attractively converted at the end of the ’90s into a cozy and welcoming private home. The private home covers a total area of 373 m² on 2 floors:
Ground floor: small studio, large studio with exit to the garden, laundry room, storage rooms for gardening and other tools, cellars.
First floor is accessible, not only via internal staircase, but also through 2 large French doors in the kitchen and in the living room. From the living room, you are directly connected, on one side, to a master bedroom with en-suite bathroom, on the other side, to the kitchen/dining room. The kitchen features a French door, which leads you out to a panoramic terrace with bread/pizza oven. From the dining room, you enter a majestic library, characterized by a double-height ceiling with massive wooden beams. From this room, you access 2 spacious double bedrooms with panoramic views, which share one bathroom.

The pieve of San Cristoforo stands on a small hillock in outstanding countryside with splendid views of Le Marche countryside in every direction. To the front lie fields and woodland that lead the eye to the high peaks of Monte Catria, while to the sides are the tree-clad slopes of a small river valley and vineyard and views of rolling hills as far as the horizon.
Getting to Cagli, the closest town with services, is a matter of minutes, thanks to a comfortable paved road. Situated on a plateau set between two rivers, Cagli still recounts its medieval past, which has left traces on its territory, in its architecture and in the narratives that have come down to us. In Cagli you can find all you need for your daily life.
The property is ideally located for discovering the cities of Marche and Umbria. Just 30 minutes from San Cristoforo is Urbino, cradle of the Renaissance, and Gubbio, Umbria’s medieval jewel.
