Living Slow in a Restored Village in Umbria

Postignano, Umbria

Right in the heart of Umbria is a former “ghost town”, a tiny medieval village brought back to life by the work of two Italian architects who fell in love with the place and decided to recreate the borgo’s historic charm.

Postignano, strategically located in the heart of Umbria, 29 km from Norcia, 35 km from Spoleto and 36 km from Foligno, now features 60 beautifully restored apartments, gathered around the tower and the lovely frescoed church, within the beautiful backdrop of the Valnerina (and, if you were wondering, the apartments are on sale!).

It is not just a real estate investment though: bringing life back to the village also means making it a lively cultural and social center. In fact, a rich program of events is in place for the summer, with concerts, conferences, readings and more, mostly taking place in the church.

But Postignano also makes for a nice break since you can stay at one of the 14 apartments open to guests in the oh-so-pretty Castello di Postignano Relais and enjoy traditional local cuisine at La Casa Rosa Trattoria.
