Living la dolce vita
March 18, 2025 - Six Senses Residences Antognolla: where authentic Italian living unfolds among vineyards, gourmet dining, and world-class golf – set within in a hotly anticipated countryside resort in Umbria.
La Dolce Vita, ‘the sweet life,' celebrates life's pleasures with a laid-back, indulgent approach to relaxation and connection. There will be no better place to embrace it than at Six Senses Residences Antognolla, which is introducing a new concept of countryside living to the breathtaking Umbria in Italy. Crowned by the sensitively restored 12th-century Antognolla Castle – which dates back to the time of St. Francis of Assisi – and replete with 6th-century frescos, you’ll find a rare blend of traditional Italian architecture and contemporary service and technology.
Life lived outdoors
Designed to mirror the layout of a traditional Italian borgo (village), this unique countryside resort will feature a 71-key hotel, 3,000 square-meter wellness center, and three-time award-winning 18-hole golf course blanketing the valley. The turnkey residences will run up the undulating hillside, making the most of the verdant views and connected to a network of natural parks. Here, life will be lived outdoors, enveloped in a rippling backdrop of olive groves, vineyards, and cypress-topped hills. Your green retreat will inspire in all seasons. From flower-garlanded spring to sun-splashed summer, and colorful autumn to fireside winter, come to reconnect with the things in life that matter the most.
Named Borgo Massarello, the initial 17 residences are set to offer a collection of apartments and standalone villas designed with individuals and families in mind. The interior design is bespoke, and pieces have been customized to exact specifications by renowned Italian design firm A2Zen, which brings an unparalleled level of attention to detail in line with the project’s values. Working with local artisans, the designers have introduced Umbrian craftsmanship into the residences, sourcing local materials to enhance the beauty and eco-credentials. Mood-enhancing spaces will allow for socializing, moments of reflection, and, with some of the speediest fiber infrastructure, catching up on work emails.
It's not all work and no play: spill onto pergola-covered decks, float in sparkling turquoise pools, sit peacefully in landscaped gardens where views of the valley, castle and golf course unfold, or snuggle up in cozy fire-warmed lounges. A dedicated owner’s living space will provide a serene private sanctuary to unwind inside the Castle’s storied walls.
Manicured trails weave through acres of protected natural forest, providing walkers, runners, and cyclists with fresh air and fun, whether you enjoy getting your adrenaline surging or prefer relaxing on a gentle amble. Families of all generations will be able to indulge in a world of activities and adventures, including golf, wine tasting from our vineyards, truffle hunting, cooking classes, and gourmet cuisine.
Bubbling with excitement
Harvest time at our vineyards will offer a seasonal opportunity to get your hands in the soil and go behind the scenes to discover more about the traditions and practices in Umbria. The estate produces hearty reds, crisp whites, and the first batch of sparkling fizz will be ready to pop corks just as the resort opens.
As well as marching rows of bountiful vines, hardy olive trees dot the estate which we harvest and press into oils to feed the kitchens. Residents will enjoy various dining options, including our artisan restaurant, La Boiola, serving menus bursting with the very best of local produce and Italian specialties, including herbs, fruit, and vegetables grown onsite.
The ‘A’ game
Running through the center of the estate, the GEO-certified, 18-hole golf course was designed by the renowned Robert Trent Jones Jr. The course has been installed to provide year-round playability and quick-drying surfaces. The cliff-lined fairways and undulating greens and lakes ensure a game packed with interest.
With a golf-pro in attendance, the course suits all ages and levels with lessons for young players and specialist coaching for those looking to improve their handicap or take on a challenging opponent. Awarded Italy’s Best Golf Course in 2020, 2022, and 2024, its vibrant clubhouse, featuring a boutique retail store and a restaurant serving seasonal favorites, is already open and adds to the community feel.
Feeding heart and soul
Italy seduces like no other and Six Senses Residences Antognolla will offer owners their own slice of the sweet life, feeding heart and soul through a life lived outdoors and a true connection to nature.
