Appartamento Palazzo Lapi

Right in the historic centre of the town of Spoleto in Umbria, this exclusive apartment is named after the Lapi family that bought the Palazzo at the end of the 18th century. Nowadays the 17th century Palazzo has been extensively strenghtened and completely earthquake proofed, and divided into various spacious apartments, while the garden on the ground floor is for the communal use of the owners.

The apartment for sale is situated on the first floor, or Piano Nobile, and it enjoys stunning views towards the Spoleto valley with Monte Pettino in the distance. This is reached either via a wide staircase, or by using a lift. It is a very large property, which could also be divided into 2 separate apartments, if necessary, composed as follows: from the main door one enters a lobby, to the left there is a spacious study room, with a beautiful high wooden “cassettone” ceiling.  The most interesting feature of this beautifully scenographic property, though, is in the room next to this one, the main living room, also with a very high ceiling, frescoed walls, antique painted doors and tall windows, and an open fireplace. The rest of the apartment consists of a spacious kitchen/dining room, a master bedroom with a mezzanine floor and bathroom, 3 other bedrooms and another bathroom.  There is central heating and all the services are connected.

This exclusive property has the advantage of being right in the middle of town which means that everything, from shops to restaurants to theatres and museums, is just a short walk away. In Spoleto there is no shortage of activities and events to attend, starting from the renowned Spoleto Arts Festival in June/July to the September Experimental Opera Festival, as well as lots of other events all the year round. Spoleto is also very well connected to Rome and to Florence and to the whole of central Italy.
