Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
With rolling landscapes right out of a children's bedtime story and a home built upon medieval ruins, living in this watchtower qualifies you as a time traveler. Not only are we in love with the heated swimming pool under the stars and masterfully designed outdoor spaces, the plush sofas by the fireplace are all the warmth you need on rainy evenings. Living in a family-owned estate in Perugia, it comes as no surprise that you can host intimate barbecue dinners in the woody hills (with a concierge to take over, when you need a breather). Apart from the nature and history surrounding you, there's an 18-hole championship golf course perfect for pleasant mornings.
