Il Pornello

“Il Pornello” dates back to 12th century. Thanks to its historicity, it still maintains a unique charm. Near the border with Tuscany and Lazio, this hamlet is located in Umbria at about 427 MAMSL. The whole hamlet and the buildings of the agricultural farm should be upgraded in order to bring the history and culture of the territory back to life. For a total surface of about 3310 sqm, the hamlet includes 9 property. Thanks to the four farmhouses near the main buildings, it is also possible to obtain some additional volumes. All the properties are characterized by stone and bricks external facades, frescoed walls, prestigious finishing, wooden beams and rare potteries. Some buildings are currently in a good state of maintenance while the more distant ones need a reconstruction.
