Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This delightful home is a renovated historic watchtower. It stands proudly looking out at the Umbrian countryside, which is dotted with historic castles and hamlets – there’s plenty to explore here, so we highly recommend bringing a car. The rustic decor won’t be to everyone’s taste, but you’re unlikely to spend much time indoors – you’ll have 2 acres of outside space to enjoy. Children will love the pool and the play equipment, which includes a swing, football goal, and basketball hoop. Grown-ups might be more focused on alfresco dining on the terrace, where the views are marvellous.
The Plum Promise
- No time for average – We reject thousands of homes worldwide, so you don't have to.
- Hosts we know – With track records of high-quality hosting.
- Rated ‘Excellent’ on Trustpilot – Exceptional service before, during and after your stay.

About Umbria
Sometimes overshadowed by neighbouring Tuscany, Umbria has so much to offer in its own right. Here, you’ll find Assisi, best known as the birthplace of St Francis, Perugia, with its famous Palazzo dei Priori, the cliff-top town of Orvieto, and Gubbio, home to the Iguvine Tablets.
