With rolling Umbrian countryside on all sides, this stone-clad farmhouse sits in its own little bubble and enjoys endless views out towards the town of Todi and beyond. Sustainably built with locally sourced recovered materials and packed with classical charm, it offers the very best of that coveted Italian lifestyle. Homespun interiors, silk cushions and even a piano make for some solid family time indoors, but here it’s undeniably about alfresco living. Cool off in the swimming pool, the scent of olive trees and fragrant herbs in the air, or enjoy a light lunch in the shade of one of the porticos. We couldn’t resist trying out the wood-fired oven, which bubbles up homemade pizzas a treat. So pull up a seat, grab a slice and enjoy an aperitif at sundown.

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.
