The ‘Ville San Gregorio’ are situated in the heart of the Umbrian valley thus it is easy to reach the most beautiful artistic centres and other areas of the region.

The ‘Ville’ are only 3km from the center of Bettona, a city of ancient Etruscan origin, founded between 8 and 7 BC. The village is situated on the top of a hill, at the confluence of the Chiascio and Topino rivers; this favourable position made the fortune of ancient Bettona. Still well-preserved are the walls built to defend the city, rebuilt in1377 when Bettona was taken over by the Perugians and put under Papal control. In Bettona the oldest houses all had a small orchard-garden with a tank for rainwater and a well. And today the city is characterized by the many gardens within the city walls.

Worth visiting is the convent of Santa Maria Maggiore built in the 13th Century and which was transformed in the 17th Century; l’Oratorio di Sant’Andrea where a fresco was discovered in 1394, the Palazzo Comunale and the church of San Crispolto, patron saint of the city. Situated in the central piazza is the Pinoteca Comunale where artistic works of great value can be found, including two works by Pietro Vannucci or ‘Perugino’: Sant’Antonio of Padua and the Devoted (1512), from the ex convent of San Crispolto, and Madonna della Misericordia with Saint Stefano and Saint Girolamo and followers (1520) from the church of S. Caterina.

Also worth visiting in the surrounding area are the monasteries of San Antonio and San Onofrio, and the churches of San Gregorio and S. Caterina.

In Passaggio di Bettona is the Villa del Boccaglione, a splendid example of 18th Century architecture, built by the Crispolti family from the designs of Piermarini.

A little further from the Sambro river is the Badia di San Crispolto, a monastery founded around 1000 by Benedictine monks to house the remains of their Saint. During the 19th Century it was reduced to a simple farm. Nearby is the church of the Madonna del Fronte in which a beautiful 18th Century Madonna and Child can be admired.

In the center of Passaggio di Bettona can be found the Casino Piaceri, a large complex of buildings near the Sambro river. Following the course of the river one arrives at Badia di S. Quirico. A church in the roman style is all that remains of the original complex. Continue further and you reach the chapel of S. Gregorio, already mentioned, in the grounds of our estate.

The position of ‘Ville San Gregorio’ offers easy access to many services (only 1.5km away are food shops, bar, pharmacy, banks, post office, museums, art galleries. 3 km away one can find the theatre, cinema, beauty center, restaurants, pizzerias, riding school, bike hire, golf etc).
