As far as villas go, you don't get much more 'hilltop' than this. Soak up the views across the Umbrian hills towards the city of Todi, a tableau so beautiful so you'll never want to leave. The scents of jasmine, lavender, and roses follow you down the stone steps to the infinity pool, which is surrounded by sun loungers and a shaded gazebo. The views take centre-stage in the villa, too – large windows surround the space, where you'll find a country-style kitchen with an island and a cosy living space with a corner sofa and fireplace. A marble staircase leads upstairs to the bedrooms, where you'll wake up each morning to similarly spectacular country vistas. Sip your coffee outside on the terrace, then spend the morning sunbathing on the perfectly manicured lawn. Take the 10-minute drive to Todi to wander the cobbled streets and explore local restaurants – you might recognise some of the plazas from Italian movies. Pick up some local wine to enjoy with a barbecue back at your villa, and savour a glass while admiring the stunning sunset over the surrounding hills.
