Filippo Cori recounts the sale of Casale San Damiano, a splendid residence nestled in the hills of Assisi. A couple from Lombardy finally realised their dream of buying an exclusive property in Umbria.
Casale San Damiano, an enchanting property representing the perfect combination of tradition, modernity and nature, has found new owners.
Situated on the slopes of Mount Subasio, this farmhouse with a panoramic swimming pool, a romantic pond and a centuries-old olive grove, is a jewel nestled in a natural setting of rare beauty.
F. and G., a couple from Lombardy, had been cultivating the dream of owning an exclusive retreat in Umbria for some time. They longed for an authentic, serene place, far from the hectic pace of metropolitan Lombardy life, where they could retreat to enjoy moments of relaxation with family and friends.
For them, Casale San Damiano represented the realisation of an important purpose: to immerse themselves in the peace and tranquillity that only Umbria can offer, rediscovering the beauty of nature and the value of simplicity.
F. and G. had been visiting this region for many years, in particular the Assisi area, where they have acquaintances and friends. For their property search, they decided to contact Great Estate’s Spoleto office, request an inspection at Casale San Damiano, and rely on the experience of consultant Filippo Cori.
Filippo recounts that:
From our first meeting, I realised that F. and G. had very specific ideas about their dream house.
They were looking for a home in a quiet location, surrounded by nature and with a breathtaking panoramic view. It was essential for them that the property reflects the typical characteristics of traditional Umbrian architecture: exposed stone façades, terracotta floors, wooden beams and terracotta tiles. In addition, they wanted large and cosy spaces, ideal to comfortably accommodate family and friends during their visits.
It was clear from the start that Casale San Damiano was the perfect solution for them. After sharing their needs with me, they specifically asked me to organise a visit to this property, managed for sale by my colleague Carla Caselli, who had acquired this farmhouse a few months earlier.
Filippo had offered F. and G. other real estate solutions in the picturesque Assisi area. However, it was during their first visit to Casale San Damiano that something special clicked in the Lombard couple: the property immediately captured their hearts, like a true love at first sight.
Filippo adds:
“F. and G. were first of all impressed by the location: a perfect balance between extraordinary panoramic views, privacy and convenient proximity to the historic town of Assisi. The privileged location allows them to enjoy the tranquillity of the Umbrian countryside without giving up the services and cultural attractions of the city.
Moreover, they immediately loved the property for its authentic historical flavour and the charm felt in every corner. The meticulous renovation has maintained the architectural integrity of the farmhouse, while careful maintenance has helped to make both the interior and exterior impeccable. Every detail, from the furnishings to the finishes, has been taken care of with extreme attention, reflecting the love and dedication of the previous owners. The latter lived at Casale San Damiano for over 30 years, creating a place that conveys warmth and lived stories.“
The purchase of Casale San Damiano was a quick process and despite some minor difficulties it was concluded in the best possible way.
This splendid result was possible thanks to the professionalism and expertise of consultants Filippo Cori and Carla Caselli, who worked in perfect synergy to ensure a satisfactory sale for all parties involved.
A key element of the success was also the relationship of trust, esteem and collaboration that was established right from the start between the buyers and sellers. This bond facilitated every step of the process, helping to overcome challenges with a positive spirit and determination.
The sellers experienced the conclusion of this experience with great serenity, knowing that Casale San Damiano, their beloved home for many years, will be looked after by people who will appreciate it, continuing to take care of it with love and dedication.
Filippo concludes:
“Of course, both Carla Caselli and I are very pleased to have completed this sale, which turned out to be complex in many ways. We faced both technical and emotional challenges, but in the end, the result paid off. It was an experience that enriched us and made us grow further.”
