Co-Financed by EU Ob.2 ERDF Fund LOCATION FOR POTENTIAL INVESTMENT PETRORO CASTLE Buildings; land Type Todi, Perugia, Umbria Region - Italy Location Public Ownership Characteristics The Castello di Petroro property is situated in the village of Petroro, within the district of Todi, along the B-road which connects the small town of Ponterio to the village of Bastardo. The 13th century property is 400 metres above sea level and enjoys rather mild winters and cool summers. It overlooks one of the finest valleys of central Umbria, offering views of woods and footpaths which are ideal for trekking and horseriding, while in the distance can be seen the ridge of Todi. The property, with a total surface area of about 2,500 square metres, is made up of four main 2-3 storey buildings about 7 to 12 metres high arranged in such a way as to create a small piazza within. A fifth building, of typically Medieval exterior, encloses the piazza. The five buildings together form a homogenous unit, enlivened by distinguishing features such as the tower on the South side and the pigeon tower on the East side. The property is just a few kilometres from Todi and near other historic towns such as Perugia and Assisi (about 60 km), Orvieto and Spoleto (about 50 km), Roma (130 km) and Firenze (180 km). The property is easy to reach. From the E45 Orte-Ravenna dual carriageway, take the Todi exit and. proceed for a few kilometres along the road which leads to Foligno (the B-road Ponterio-Duesanti-Bastardo). Area of existing buildings (sq): 2,500 Existing land area (he): 350 Potential projects: The property is near Todi, well known for its cultural activities and economic dynamism. It is the town of choice for artists and business people due to its tranquil setting, wide range of services, well developed local economy and vicinity to Rome. All these elements make the property an ideal investment opportunity, particularly as a high quality hotel. Given its characteristics and panoramic location, the property will be used as a hotel and restaurant. The management will be determined by a public bid to tender. Current type of use: Tourist development; agricultural land Potential economic sectors: The property known as Castello di Petroro will, according to the guidelines of the Todi Town Council, be transformed into a hotel. The restoration of the building into a hotel provides for deluxe living accommodation in an exceptional natural context while maintaining the architectural integrity of the building. A restaurant offering local dishes adapted and structured to international standards is planned, which in conjunction with the use of the Roman temple of San Martino will be able to enter the banqueting and haute cuisine market. The restaurant will also allow local people to enjoy this property which will in turn give visibility to producers and local companies involved in this type of business. The surrounding land, mainly woods and fields owned by the local authority plus a 10 hectare vineyard, will be able to provide added value to the property through its usability and food production interest.
