In a unique place wrapped in an almost magical atmosphere we find Santa Illuminata, a monastery of rare beauty with a history that dates back to the eleventh century AD. Located on a hill, one of the most beautiful in front of Todi and Massa Martana, characterized by the unmistakable physiognomy of the Umbrian landscape and surrounded by an estate of about 37 hectares. The Santa Illuminata Complex develops around a rectangular courtyard, whose north-west side is occupied by the consecrated Church. Covered externally and internally in ancient stone kept exposed and recently restored under the guidance of the Superintendence for Environmental, Architectural, Artistic and Historical Heritage of Umbria. The interiors are the result of a choice of style that has beautifully mixed ancient and modern, combining fine furniture with contemporary design furnishing accessories. The floors consist of the typical structure with chestnut wood beams and fine terracotta for the floors and the entire structure is equipped with air conditioning. The garden has numerous plants, tall trees and flowers typical of the area. The private pool is located in a very panoramic position towards Collevalenza. The quiet of the place, interrupted only by the sounds of the countryside and its colors painted by the alternation of day and night and the changing of the seasons: all this will fill your stay with unforgettable emotions. Santa Illuminata offers a unique opportunity to organize events and receptions in its large halls and outdoor spaces. The inner courtyard, framed by the Church and the Monastery, offers a space of rare charm, ideal for outdoor receptions. It is also perfect for family reunions with children and groups of friends, who want to spend their holidays together while safeguarding their privacy. The Monastery, located a few kilometers from Todi and Massa Martana, has the advantage of being in a focal area of culture, art and food and wine tourism. The perfect starting point for excursions to Orvieto, Perugia, Assisi, Spoleto, the nearby Sanctuary of Merciful Love in Collevalenza and also Florence and Rome, a few kilometers from the E45 highway, connecting with all of Umbria, Tuscany and Lazio. Essential services and shops, also open on Sundays, are only a 10-minute drive away in Todi and Ponte Rio.
