This home used to be a medieval watchtower dating back to the 14th century, but today it provides a rustic escape in the Umbrian countryside. We love the sweeping views of the countryside from the top floor, and the traditional living spaces are what you’d expect from a historic building – think brick archways and exposed stone walls. More active guests will appreciate the private tennis court, home gym and swimming pool, but it’s easy to relax here on a sun lounger with a book, too. When you’re ready to explore, the hilly village of Todi is a short drive away, where you can hike up to see its famous domed church.

About Todi

Sitting pretty in the hills above the River Tiber, Todi's medieval walls and towering churches wouldn't be amiss in a Renaissance painting. Here, the pace of life is slower, the air is fresher and the atmosphere is unpretentious – no wonder it was deemed one of the most livable cities in the world.
