CAPECOLLE ALTO

CAMPECOLLE ALTO
A cluster of medieval farmhouses and agricultural annexes to be converted into luxury vacation units of various sizes.

THE SITE
Campecolle Alto is located high on a hill in the Niccone valley in western Umbria. It is part of a large property which includes two other clusters, Palazzetto Colle and Chiocca, also described on this website. The houses enjoy spectacular views of umbrian countryside to all directions. Tuscany, the neighbouring region is only a few km away and the nearby roads provide easy access to the medieval cities in the area, Cortona, Gubbio, Assissi etc. Lake Trasimeno with it's vacation resorts and water sport facilities is about 20 minutes away.

THE HOUSES
The original pattern of the cluster consists of a group of houses and annexes scatterd around a commom area. Most of the original buildings are two storys high, built of local stone with tiled roofs. The general appearance of the buildings is typical to the vernacular architerture of farm houses in Umbria. Originaly the ground floor of these buildings was used for stables while the owners lived on the upper floors. The architecture is characterized by few elements of decoration and reflects well the down to earth way of life in the area.

THE PROJECT
The idea of a common central area is kept in the restoration process by developing the concept of a "piazza" where commom activities can take place. The individual vacation units, however, are designed to provide absolute privacy with all apartments, and the independent vacation houses having a private entrance and outdoor sitting areas. The origianl building's interior spaces are planned as 1-4 room units with typical finishing materials and high level infrastructures. There is flexibility in the interior subdivision and one can decide to alter the interior according to personal needs.

COMMON AREAS
Apart from the central "piazza" where feasts and dinners can be held the project envisions two parking areas for the owners and their guests, a large swimmimg pool and green areas.
