A unique medieval fortified Cultural Heritage building with 11th Century Dove/Watch Tower, currently being renovated to provide holiday apartments/casa vacanze in the future. Located in the historic centre of the beautiful ancient hilltop village of San Benedetto in Perillis, (AQ), and in the centre of Abruzzo. the earliest part of this palazzo dates back to the 9th century and the newest part to the 16th century.
We are Katja and Andrew and we left the UK with our two kids in 2018 to renovate our medieval palazzo which we bought in 2008, one year prior to the L’Aquila earthquake. Years later we’ve had the seismic structural work completed and are now on our long rollercoaster ride of a journey scaling mountains of bureaucracy and wading through all the legislation that comes with an Italian monument equivalent to a UK Grade 1 listed building whilst at the same time restoring another Cultural Heritage property in the historic centre of Sulmona: a 3-bed holiday apartment for rent from Spring 2024 onwards.
We look forward to completing our project and welcoming you to Palazzo San Benedetto.
San Benedetto in Perillis is a charming ancient hilltop village with its origins dating back to the VIII century. Here you will find one of Abruzzo's oldest abbeys as well as ancient stone houses, some of which still have the wooden locks that San Benedetto in Perillis is famous for. Wander round the streets, take a tour of the vast cave network that runs below the historic centre, immerse yourself in nature and, being up at 850m above sea level, soak up the stunning and far-reaching views across the Peligna Valley.
