A ten-acre hilltop estate in Umbria with complete privacy and views across the valley, this villa earns its place at dusk – when the light shifts over the olive groves and the hammock in the garden suddenly becomes the best seat in the house. The lavender-fringed pool is a scenic spot for a swim, and the pergola terrace is set up for long alfresco evenings with a pizza oven and plenty of sky. When the urge to explore takes hold, Orvieto is a twenty-minute drive away, and a train station ten minutes from the door connects directly to Rome and Florence.

About Todi
