About this house rental
The Abbey of the Seven Friars is a former 12th-century Benedictine abbey that was converted into a hunting lodge in the 1500s by one of the most prestigious noble families in the Lake Trasimeno area: the Della Corgna family, specifically Cardinal Fulvio Della Corgna, who had it decorated with grotesque frescoes.
In the 12th century, the Benedictine monks chose this site to build their monastery, likely because of the fertile land and its strategic location—just twenty minutes from Perugia and Lake Trasimeno.
All these advantages have remained unchanged over time; in fact, visitors can reach the main towns of Umbria in a short time and experience a medieval atmosphere with the medicinal herb garden, rich in lush and fragrant aromatic herbs, as well as visit the olive press located in the abbey’s ancient refectory within the cloister, the church, and the crypt.
While spending your vacation with us, you can admire the frescoed vaults of the porticoes, the breakfast room, the chapter house, the Vitalis apartment, and the church.The FRATRES farmhouse is situated between the chapter house—which Cardinal Fulvio della Corgna had frescoed in 1500 with grotesque motifs and which today serves as a recreation room—and a reception hall, also frescoed with very interesting subjects, which is now used as a breakfast room, the frescoed porticoes overlooked by the reception area, where our guests can relax while looking out onto the cloister or enjoy breakfast, several small rooms frescoed with scenes from the Old Testament that make up the Vitalis apartment, and the newer upper floor, which features another apartment (Felicis) and two guest rooms (Januarius and Martialis).
Going up the stairs, there’s a very interesting medieval nook where the bathroom has been created, located near the breakfast room.
