Gubbio, Umbria

Reference: KPMQ-T2118. I Consoli di Gubbio is an apartment located in a medieval building characterized by an external facade with exposed stones and a sixth arch above the entrance to the building, which has maintained the most representative architectural elements of the time. We are just a few meters from Piazza Grande, almost in correspondence with the Bargello Fountain (or Fountain of the Fools), by going around which three times you traditionally have the right to obtain a madman's licence. Located on the second and third floors of the building, the apartment comprises, on the second floor, the entrance which opens onto a large living room with an antique fireplace and three large windows overlooking the main street. A short corridor with built-in kitchen and view of the Monastery of Sant'Ambrogio leads to a double bedroom with ensuite bathroom and shower. Upstairs, connected by a private internal staircase, there is a second living room, also with an antique fireplace and panoramic windows, a first double bedroom, a bathroom with shower and a second double bedroom with panoramic terrace, equipped with ensuite bathroom and tub. The property includes a 63 sqm tavern located on the lower street floor, entirely in stone and exposed brick with barrel vaults, completely renovated on a structural level maintaining the original features. The tavern leads to an ancient underground tunnel dug into the rock which continues for several meters dividing into two paths and then reuniting. The building and the apartment underwent a complete anti-seismic renovation in 1992. The apartment is bright, with airy, warm and welcoming environments and with sober and refined interior finishes; the floors are terracotta everywhere while in the sleeping areas they are parquet, the wooden window frames are double glazed and the ceilings have exposed beams and terracotta tiles. Some details of the walls have been left exposed to highlight the old stone and original niches of the time. Heating is by radiators, with two independent boilers, one on each floor. The municipal aqueduct is connected. Systems compliant with the standards in force at the time of the renovation. The area is served by optical fiber; connection can be requested. I Consoli di Gubbio is suitable both as a main residence, as a second home or as a representative office; it can also be divided into two units and be used as income. The apartment is located in the center of Gubbio, in the lively district of San Martino, in one of the most exclusive and important streets of the city, overlooking the ancient Bargello fountain and a few meters from the renowned Palazzo dei Consoli. Dominated from above by the monumental Basilica of Sant'Ubaldo which houses the incorrupt remains of the Patron Saint, Gubbio hosts architectural masterpieces which symbolize and recall the power of this medieval city-state. Gubbio is considered by many to be the most beautiful medieval city in Italy. Among the most important events that are organized in the city, the Corsa dei Ceri and the historical re-enactment of the Palio della Balestra undoubtedly deserve special mention.
