Villa San Benigno – ready for occupation	Iconic Umbrian view	Vineyard at Monte Nibbio

The Monte Nibbio portfolio comprises:

• One completed property with its own vineyard – Villa San Benigno – €1,350,000
• One ready to be completed property – Monte Nibbio – €3,200,000
• Three properties available for development from €350,000
• All five properties – €6,000,000

Surrounded by iconic Umbrian countryside and located close to the historic town of Todi – approximately 30 kms south of Perugia and mid-way between Florence and Rome – the five individual properties offer a wide range of possibilities to the private owner or institutional investor. While the smaller properties are perfect for development into private homes, Monte Nibbio and Villa San Benigno could potentially become a boutique hotel or spa.

Several of the properties have historical provenance, none more so than Monte Nibbio which dates back to medieval Christian times when it offered sanctuary to returning Crusaders in the 13^th century, and was a Benedictine convent in the 16^th century.

The properties all enjoy wonderful rural locations, deep in hidden valleys, surrounded by olive groves and vineyards, or positioned on a private hilltop with 360° panoramic views and accessed via an ancient country road.
