Looking for a one-of-a-kind stay in the Umbrian hills? This restored 15th-century watchtower fringing the town of Pierantonio should fit the bill. Offering sweeping valley views from a lengthy infinity pool, vast gardens and shady terraces, it’s hard to believe all this space is just for you. Ideal for two couples or a multi-generational family stay, the property includes a main villa plus a self-contained annexe. With a home this characterful come a few quirks. The tower bedrooms are semi-open to one another, and the steep staircases won’t suit everyone. You’ll also need a car as there’s nothing within walking distance. But for us, that's all part of the appeal.

Home truths
This villa is made up of two properties. The three-storey watchtower has two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a living area downstairs. There’s also a self-contained annexe with a double bed and a double sofa bed (if two guests would rather not share a bed).
This home has steep, open staircases, which may be unsuitable for children and guests with restricted mobility. There are also steps leading down to the private pool area.
The second bedroom in the watchtower is on a mezzanine level and semi-open to the twin bedroom below, so privacy is limited.
You won't find an oven here – though there is a hob and microwave in both the main house and annexe. We think the kitchens are better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.
The pool is open from June to September.
Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay, and there is ample space for private parking outside.

About Perugia
In the heart of picturesque Umbria, the walled city of Perugia radiates history down every winding cobbled alleyway. Sitting atop a hill, streets stacked on top of each other are crowned at the tip with the jutting spire of Piazza IV Novembre with its ancient Cathedral. Fontana Maggiore, an ornate fountain is at the heart of the square which once buzzed with medieval merchants and monks. Follow the narrow streets...
