Antico Monastery, Estate of the Day
Imagine owning your own ancient Italian monastery. Antico Monastero is an old monastery dating back to the 13th Century. It is located on the top of a hill in the countryside around Perugia. It has been restored into a luxury accommodation. There are 11 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms as well as an owner's apartment with a reception room, studio, kitchen, bathroom and two bedrooms. There is also an old church, and stables which have been converted into a restaurant with professional kitchen. The restoration preserved the original structure with its arches and vaulted ceilings and used original materials, like terracotta and stone to pave the floors and wood for most of the furniture to maintain the consistent look of the property. The land includes both chestnut woods and pasture land. It is listed at 2.3 million euros.

Not exactly cozy, is it? It's pretty much in the middle of nowhere and looks spartan enough to still be a monastery.
