Inside Villa Dorata Moiano Pieve
Spanning approximately 500 square metres of refined interior space, Villa Dorata Moiano Pieve unfolds across two generous floors that harmoniously blend period character with contemporary luxury. On the ground floor, a grand living room welcomes you with plush seating arranged around an original fireplace, its stone surround lending warmth and gravitas to cool Umbrian evenings. Natural light pours through tall windows, illuminating hand-selected furnishings, terracotta flooring, and carefully curated artwork that pays homage to the region’s rich artistic heritage.
Adjacent to the living area, a dedicated billiards room provides a stylish retreat for leisurely afternoons, complete with a full-size snooker table and comfortable lounge seating.

Air conditioning throughout ensures total comfort even during the warmest summer months, and high-speed WiFi keeps you connected should you wish to share your Umbrian adventure with the world.
Outdoor Spaces and Living
Step outside Villa Dorata Moiano Pieve and the Umbrian landscape unfolds before you in every direction. Manicured gardens surround the property, dotted with ancient olive trees, fragrant lavender borders, and shaded seating areas that invite long afternoons of reading or quiet reflection. The centrepiece of the outdoor experience is a generous private swimming pool, its crystal-clear waters framed by sun-warmed stone terraces and cushioned loungers where guests can bask in the Tuscan-Umbrian sun.
An expansive al fresco dining area, shaded by a pergola draped in climbing greenery, provides the perfect setting for leisurely breakfasts and candlelit dinners under the stars. The barbecue area nearby allows for relaxed evening grilling sessions. Beyond the immediate grounds, the surrounding countryside beckons with cycling routes that wind through vineyards, sunflower fields, and medieval hamlets. The villa’s spa and sauna facilities offer a rejuvenating counterpoint to active days spent exploring, allowing guests to unwind with steam treatments and therapeutic relaxation without ever leaving the estate.
Exploring Città della Pieve and Beyond
Città della Pieve, just a short drive from the villa, is a captivating hilltop town famous for being the birthplace of the Renaissance painter Perugino. Wander its narrow medieval streets to discover the Oratorio di Santa Maria dei Bianchi, home to Perugino’s magnificent “Adoration of the Magi” fresco, or stroll along the Via del Vicolo Baciadonne, reputed to be one of the narrowest alleys in Italy. Local restaurants serve exceptional Umbrian cuisine: hand-rolled pici pasta with wild boar ragù, locally pressed olive oil, and the prized saffron for which the town is celebrated.
Within 30 minutes, you can reach the spectacular Lago Trasimeno, Italy’s fourth-largest lake, where you can swim, sail, or enjoy fresh fish at waterside trattorias. The elegant city of Perugia lies approximately 45 minutes northeast, offering world-class museums, chocolate shops, and a vibrant university atmosphere. Orvieto, perched dramatically on volcanic rock about 40 minutes to the south, rewards visitors with its breathtaking Gothic cathedral and renowned white wines.
