Its history is rich and intriguing. It was built as a Benedictine Abbey and ceded to the Poor Clares in 1228. The Blessed Simon of Collazzone, companion of Saint Francis of Assisi, was witness to the donation and his mother, the Countess Matilde, and her sisters moved to the monastery to live as cloistered nuns. The story goes that the Franciscan poet Jacopone da Todi found his last refuge at the Poor Clares. In 1520 the monastery was the hiding place of Thadea, the illegitimate daughter of Emperor Charles V. Afterwards, the monastery was probably slowly abandoned. When Napoleon invaded Italy, he confiscated and sold countless ecclesiastical property to private individuals, including the Monastery which in 1805 ended up in the possession of the family who still take care of it with great love and passion. The complex of Contessa Matilde, built around an open-air courtyard of rare beauty, is clad externally in old, exposed stone and was recently restored under the tutelage of the Ministry for Cultural Heritage. The preservation of all the original details and aspects were the guideline for the restoration work and the colours and materials are inspired by the Umbrian countryside. The interior is the result of a choice of style that has perfectly blended old and modern, combining fine furnishings with those of contemporary design, having every amenity while all the bedrooms are air-conditioned. The beautiful private swimming pool has a covered area for outdoor dining and a living area. Two other covered outdoor areas are equipped with a wood oven and barbecue, the ideal spots for cooking and enjoying pleasant outdoor meals. Contessa Matilde offers a unique opportunity for organising events and receptions in its large halls and outdoor spaces such as the courtyard. The property includes a Romanesque church located just outside the garden, with an old crypt; the church can occasionally be used for celebrations. On request, not included in the rent, the house is completed by a majestic living area located on the ground floor with direct entrance from the courtyard. The hall is equipped with tables, chairs, projection screen and a guest bathroom and can be used use for business meetings, ceremonies and parties. The Monastery, located in Collazzone, is the perfect starting point for excursions to Todi, Orvieto, Perugia, Assisi and Spoleto, as well as to Florence and Rome, as it is just a few kilometres from the E45 highway, that connects all of Umbria as well as Tuscany and Lazio. Services and shops for basic necessities can be found in Collazzone, just 5 minutes away on foot. Interior: The property is divided in two parts, each with outside entrance.
