Capanna Battilana: Yona and Abraham’s Dream Home Amidst the Umbrian Hills

Thanks to a heartfelt recommendation and the expert guidance of Roberto Biggera, Yona and Abraham discovered their cherished place, Capanna Battilana: a charming country farm nestled among the Umbrian hills, on the border with Tuscany.

Sometimes, some of life’s most important decisions stem from simple moments — a conversation between friends. That’s exactly how Yona and Abraham’s extraordinary journey began. This Israeli couple, deeply captivated by Italy — its culture, quality of life, and timeless landscapes — set out to find their dream home here, turning a heartfelt wish into reality.

Their adventure was guided by a spontaneous yet invaluable element: trust in the word of trusted friends, who were already clients of the Great Estate group.

We love Italy, so we started looking for a home in the Bel Paese. Our friends highly recommended Roberto Biggera.

With these words, Yona and Abraham recount the moment their search took a definitive turn. A sincere recommendation, based on a positive purchasing experience, led them to Roberto Biggera, an experienced consultant within the Great Estate network.
From their very first meeting, expectations were fully met:

The first impression we had of Roberto was excellent.

Roberto proved himself immediately as a attentive and reliable professional, carefully listening to the couple’s needs and guiding them step by step towards the perfect property for their family.

Roberto was extremely professional, helping us find suitable properties and supporting us throughout the entire process.

Thanks to Roberto’s invaluable support and deep local knowledge, Yona and Abraham embarked on a journey that brought them to the heart of Umbria, in the countryside near Città della Pieve, right on the border with Tuscany. One of their key priorities was proximity to Rome’s airport — a crucial logistical factor that directed their search towards Umbria, a region that won them over with its authenticity, colours, and timeless rolling hills.

With Roberto’s expert guidance, they discovered Capanna Battilana, a characterful rural estate, fully renovated in traditional Umbrian-Tuscan style.

It was love at first sight:

 We love the layout of the house, the atmosphere it conveys, the surrounding landscape, and the beautiful outdoor pool.

Set within a stunning park of over an hectare, the property impresses with its harmony between architecture and nature. The highlight is the breathtaking panoramic pool, perfect for relaxing while enjoying the spectacular views of the rolling landscape, surrounded by around 80 olive trees that lend an authentic Italian touch to the experience of living in this extraordinary property.

After purchasing, Yona and Abraham wanted to add their personal touch to Capanna Battilana: renovating the kitchen and bathrooms, all while respecting the house’s original spirit.

Today, satisfied and happy, they affirm:

We highly recommend Great Estate. In fact, we have friends who have already contacted the team thanks to our recommendation.

A tangible testament to the fact that their professionalism pays off, and that a satisfied client is the best business card.
For Roberto Biggera and the entire Great Estate team, this is the most rewarding recognition.
