There’s something truly unique about this home, lost in the midst of Umbria’s stunning countryside – first of all, it’s more than a home. The main building is a historic tower, which gives you the sense of staying in your own fairytale castle. With three additional buildings as part of the property, everyone in your party is sure to find their own private slice of tranquil paradise. Set in the middle of a lush, twelve-acre parkland and boasting sweeping views over the surrounding hills, this is one dream country escape – add to it the glistening swimming pool and the rooftop terrace with its unparalleled vistas and we think you’ll fall under the spell of this home just as we have. Inside, you’ll find all the rooms emanating exactly the kind of warmth and cosiness you’d expect from a rural Italian abode – from the warm fireplace in the main tower to all the snug bedrooms and charming nooks, there’s more than ample space for everyone to have a relaxing holiday. Organise delicious communal meals, with a choice of outdoor and indoor dining areas, and gather for evenings of drinks in the garden, just as the sun begins to set... over the hills. When you’re ready to explore, you’ll find plenty of interesting sights to visit, including the nearby town of Spoleto, full of history and culture.
