Muu osta in Maestrello, Umbria

in the hills of Umbria, not far from Perugia and in a quiet location, property to be restored with historic villa and private chapel. Formerly used as a rehabilitation institute for polio patients, the building (4,103 sqm) is now abandoned and in need of consolidation and renovation works: with the opportunity, a project for the conversion of the structure into a hotel with wellness center and swimming pool could also be presented. Completing the property are 4.6 hectares of land with olive trees and gardens. The complex is in a slightly elevated position and close to basic services (2km; 5'), while the center of Perugia is about 20' drive away. From the property it is then also easy to reach the best-known art cities of Umbria and Tuscany in less than an hour (Umbertide, Cortona, Pienza, Assisi, Orvieto...). The complex (4,103 sqm - 44,148 sqft in total) basically consists of two parts, dating from quite different periods and easily identified by analyzing the architectural features. The original body is a manorial villa (2,062 sqm - 22,187 sqft) built by the noble Belgian Lefebvre family as a vacation home in Umbria. The building was later converted into a rehabilitation institute for poliomyelitic children at the behest of Don Giuseppe Cirinei. The historic building was converted with various works into the administrative and medical headquarters of the complex, where patient clinics, offices, an indoor swimming pool and the physiotherapy room were located. At the same time, the building was enlarged with the addition of a body on the north side that was used as a gym and theater. The former physiotherapy room was built in direction of the aristocratic chapel (85 sqm - 915 sqft), which was then connected to the main building. The upper two floors of the building were instead used as a meeting area, dormitory and bedrooms for the facility's employees. A large secondary body (1,956 sqm - 21,046 sqft) was built next to the chapel, which served on the lower floor as a school for the institute's children and youth (with classrooms, recreation rooms and refectory for meals), while on the upper floor were the large dormitories that complemented what was present on the second floor of the villa. The complex underwent restoration in the 1950s, when it was converted into a rehabilitation center by Don Cirinei. The facility remained operational until 1973, and since then the buildings have been in a state of neglect. The halls of the manor house, in particular, had been the subject of an attempt at restoration in more recent years due to the presence of frescoed and decorated ceilings, but as of today the building is in very poor condition and needs major rehabilitation, consolidation and restoration work before it can be put to use. A possible recovery project could be proposed for the conversion of the structure, given its considerable size, into a hotel with a spa and restaurant. in fact, the secondary body is already divided into many rooms (spacious enough to have a bathroom in each), and several guest bedrooms could easily be created in this building alone. Externally, the complex is surrounded by 4.6 hectares (11.4 acres) of land that include the large forecourt an- fronting the buildings (also good for events and ceremonies once the buildings have been renovated), gardens (in need of restoration and cleaning up), and several olive trees (in need of pruning, cleaning, and putting back into production, however).
