Abbey " Pieve San Quirico" (Historical Centre of the XI century)

“PIEVE SAN QUIRICO” is a little Abbey wholly realised with stones, of the XI century and bound by the Umbrian Monuments and Fine Arts Office.

It’s very ancient and for this reason it appears in all the geographic cards and several times Papa Leone XIII stayed there around XIX century.

It accommodates 4 doble rooms and 3 luxury Jr suites (in total 15 bed seats), sitting rooms, bar, dining rooms, including breakfast and bar services.

The Abbey consists of Church, Belltower, Sacristy and Parish House, horseshoe positioned and closed, on the fourth side, by a boundary wall. One can access to the court by an ancient stone arch.
In the middle of the complex is a large stone paved court, with an ancient well in the middle.
All the area is surrounded by a garden-park of 5000 square metres, with oaks-, olive- and cherry trees, and where is also a panoramic swimming pool.

The entire framework is original, in fact it has not undergone works of enlargement or alteration recently.
The last intervention of adjustment dates back to XVIII century. The current restoration works have been realised according to the bonds and indication of the Umbrian Monuments and Fine Arts Office, and with the employment of ancient material and traditional working technique.
It has an outside lightning with ancient streetlamps lined with forged iron, and a parking.

In the central body (Parish house) are the reception, the dining rooms, the bar, the kitchen, the living room and the tavern. It has three floors : the ground mezzanine floor, the first floor and the attic, where is a large roof-terrace, which offers a panoramic view in three different sides, connected by a stone staircase. In the inside, we can find ancient loop-holes and arches of the Middle Ages.

The bell tower has an octagonal form, and inside of it, there are three small rooms, where people can play cards or simply read, entering through an external wooden staircase. The room located over the top of the tower has a 360 degrees panoramic view, and finds in the same place where long time ago were the bells.

The Church has been re-built during the XVII century, and it is defined by the high vaulted ceiling, the baptismal font and the frescoed woody landing, where there was the pipe organ; the church can seat till 100 people and be a good choice for concerts and marriages.
