In Umbria, along the historic Corso di Ficulle (TR), a few steps from Piazza della Repubblica and the lively cafés and shops of the village, “La Rinascita” is a charming townhouse that represents a rare opportunity to live in—and preserve—an authentic piece of Italian history that has been expertly restored.
In the heart of the historic center of Ficulle (TR), along the historic Corso and a few steps from Piazza della Repubblica, among cafes and shops that enliven the Umbrian village, the charming townhouse “La Rinascita” is a rare example of Italian history restored to its former glory.
With a total area of approximately 200 square meters, the property is composed as follows:
– On the ground floor, we are greeted by two elegant entrances with double doors: the first opens onto the main staircase leading to the refined rooms on the upper floor; the second, embellished with a wrought iron arched lunette, introduces us to the most authentic soul of the property: an ancient “Grotta” with brick and stone arches, finely restored. This evocative space, with large decorative tiles and traditional terracotta flooring, is lit by period chandeliers and wall lights that cast a warm glow on the centuries-old walls. Ideal for welcoming guests and moments of conviviality, the Grotto also offers access to a characteristic underground cellar via the original stone steps, once used to transport barrels between floors.
– The first floor, accessible via a marble staircase, consists of a living room featuring original exposed wooden beams and travertine floors, enriched with select furnishings. Adjacent to this is the informal dining area, dominated by an impressive wood-burning fireplace with a travertine frame and hearth, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The carefully designed kitchen features custom-made cabinets, a new stove and oven, and an under-sink water filtration system, combining tradition and modern comfort.
– A second marble staircase, decorated with original Deruta ceramic medallion inserts, leads to the upper floor where there are two bedrooms and a full bathroom.
the first bedroom is elegantly furnished, with two wardrobes hidden behind hand-painted doors and an original arched ceiling embellished with a delicate floral fresco by a local artist. The second bedroom on this floor is currently used as a laundry and utility room, complete with a washing machine and dryer and approximately 4.5 linear meters of full-height wardrobes, offering great flexibility of use.
– Continuing upstairs, you reach the private master suite with en suite bathroom and adjoining sitting room/study. The latter opens onto a charming terrace overlooking the ancient rooftops and the Corso below. With access to the attic and an instant water heater discreetly located nearby, this elevated retreat is the ideal place for a morning espresso or an aperitif at sunset: a true expression of la dolce vita.
This refined residence masterfully combines historic architectural details and contemporary comforts, creating an elegant oasis in the heart of the historic center.
All furniture is included.
