A Hidden Gem for Sale in the Umbrian Hills - near Spoleto
Umbria, Perugia
€150,000 ID: 174191
Catinelli is a place you can’t quite imagine - it must be experienced. To reach it, you follow ancient forest mule tracks along the ridges of the historic Arnolfe lands. It’s an almost otherworldly place, perched like a stone outpost on a lunar hillside. A sanctuary for the soul, where time seems to pause and nature takes over.
When you arrive, everything else fades away. Your gaze soars above the clouds, over the little chapel’s bell tower set into the rock, at the top of a ridge lined with white stone terraces.
Catinelli is a hamlet in the municipality of Spoleto, nestled among pine forests, chestnut groves, and truffle-rich woodlands. The surrounding 55+ hectares of pristine forested land are part of the sale, along with beautifully restored stone farmhouses. The homes feature traditional stone facades, chestnut-beamed ceilings, and exposed rock — houses born from stone and infused with its strength and beauty. Inside, they still preserve the original feeding troughs and pantry niches once used by local farmers.
Caving lovers from all over the world come here to explore the famous Grotta del Chiocchio, a star attraction for spelunkers seeking the hidden depths of the earth.
Once you're here, you may never want to leave. There's a kind of enchantment - a sense of simplicity and magic that feels centuries old.
A fairytale castle, a forgotten village, a place that truly exists and invites you to stay - or at least return.
An exceptional opportunity for private retreat seekers, eco-tourism developers, or anyone in love with timeless, untouched countryside.
