Convento Viandante del Cielo

Full Description

Originally a 16th-century Capuchin convent, this remarkable luxury villa has been masterfully restored under the direction of filmmaker George Lucas, blending centuries of history with the finest modern comforts. Every detail has been considered to create a peaceful haven, with contemporary facilities throughout, a private spa, and even a helicopter landing area on the grounds – the ultimate arrival to your luxury villa in Umbria.

Set within 60 acres of manicured gardens and natural beauty, the villa offers countless spaces to dine al fresco, bask in the sun, or simply admire the sweeping lake and countryside views. Olive groves, vineyards, trellised vines, and a truffle-rich forest reserve make wandering the grounds an experience, reflecting the very best of luxury villa life in Umbria.

For leisure and recreation, this luxury Umbrian villa provides exceptional facilities, including a 20-metre swimming pool, tennis court, croquet lawn, bocce pitch, badminton net and a basketball hoop. A serene chapel within the grounds offers a space for quiet reflection, completing the sense of retreat.

Inside, the villa in is arranged across three spacious floors, featuring a series of elegant living areas – from the grand sitting room with fireplace and the piano salon with its gleaming grand piano on the Ground floor of the main villa, to the games room with billiards and shuffleboard on the First floor of the library building, a cinema room with an extensive film library on the Ground floor of the library building, and a peaceful reading nook also located in the library. The wine cellar invites private tastings in the Winery building, while the spa – with sauna, hammam, and massage room in the Spa and Gym building – ensures every stay is one of deep relaxation and indulgence.

The library building is a highlight of this luxury villa, housing thousands of books and an exquisite dining hall that seats up to 35 guests beneath its vaulted gallery. The villa’s professional kitchen team prepares authentic Umbrian feasts, though guests are warmly welcomed to join in and learn the secrets of regional cuisine.

Each of the villa’s ten refined bedrooms features an en-suite bathroom, individually controlled air conditioning and is equipped with Satellite TV, Netflix, Amazon Prime, Apple TV, and a Sonos system, which can be connected remotely. Many rooms offer their own sitting areas or fireplaces, providing privacy and comfort in equal measure.

With its magnificent setting, extensive grounds, and exceptional amenities, Convento Viandante del Cielo is far more than a luxury villa in Umbria – it is a sanctuary of style, heritage, and tranquillity, offering an unforgettable escape in the heart of Italy.
