History of Villa Pieve
The Italian noble residence of Villa Pieve in Corciano was built up during the 1800 over a XV century catholic chapel, still perfectly conserved inside of the building.
A place of excellence for tradition, this residence has been for centuries a historical center of encounters and receptions, from Pope Leone XIII, to the Counts Laura di Montesperelli and Lanciotto Rossi, that have inhabited the Villa Pieve in 1800.
Situated in the Umbrian hills in front of the Pieve Castle, Villa Pieve enjoys the most privileged view of the ancient fortress, the green valley and the medieval town of Corciano, providing a historical and inspirational atmosphere.

It is a small, sacred jewel, of a secluted atmosfere further enhanced with antique furnitures and centuries old frescoes.
