State and finishing The origins of the property complex date back to the 14th century, with the presence of a watchtower dating to the 1300s. The most recent restoration involved the entire complex and allowed for a careful and functional recovery of the buildings, adapting them for continuous hospitality and training use, while fully respecting the original structures. The finishes reflect choices that are consistent with the character of the property and the Umbrian context. Interiors feature terracotta and ceramic flooring. Ceilings alternate between traditional exposed wooden beams with terracotta tiles and more linear solutions, particularly suited to the common areas and rooms intended for collective activities. Exposed stone masonry characterises both the exterior façades and several interior spaces, contributing to an authentic yet functional atmosphere. The windows and doors, made of wood and aluminium, represent a solid and appropriate choice for the period of the restoration, ensuring durability and harmonious integration with the architecture of the complex. External areas The property extends over 1.7 hectares of fully enclosed land. Access is via an electric gate leading to a well-organised and functional internal driveway. The green areas surrounding the buildings are well maintained and thoughtfully arranged, with lawned areas, perimeter hedges and landscaped spaces connecting the various structures. The garden is equipped with an automatic irrigation system. The swimming pool is one of the focal features of the outdoor areas. Generously sized at approximately 16 × 7 metres, with a maximum depth of 2.40 metres, it is PVC-lined and blends naturally into the garden setting. The pool area is surrounded by spacious sunbathing areas, screened by hedges to ensure privacy. The land also includes approximately one hectare of olive grove. Use and potential uses Thanks to its overall size, the layout of the spaces and its environmental setting among the hills in the heart of Umbria, just a few kilometres from Assisi, Villa Morning Star lends itself to a variety of uses, both private and hospitality or educational in nature. The presence of a main villa, large multi-purpose rooms and numerous independent guest bedrooms makes the property particularly suitable for those wishing to combine private residence, creative activities and hospitality. The complex could be ideal, for example, for an artist or a creative collective seeking dedicated spaces for production, studios, workshops and retreats, with the possibility of accommodating participants and collaborators in a private, nature-oriented setting. Similarly, the property is well suited to being used as a centre for wellness-related activities, yoga, meditation and holistic disciplines, thanks to the spacious multi-purpose rooms, the tranquillity of the location and the availability of outdoor areas that can be enjoyed throughout the year, including the swimming pool area. The configuration of the complex allows for flexible management, making it possible to keep part of the property for private use while dedicating another part to hospitality or activities, without interference between the two. Alternatively, Villa Morning Star may be envisioned as a prestigious private residence or as a mid to high-end hospitality property with a clearly defined identity, oriented towards experiential, educational or retreat-style stays.
