Villa It5001

This charming home is like a vision out of the pages of a fairy tale: a medieval tower set on a hilltop overlooking the rural hills of Umbria.

This unusual home, which dates back to the 12th century, combines historic charm with modern architecture.

Formerly the residence of an aristocratic family, it features five stories of modern yet distinctive interiors. There are five double bedrooms, seven bathrooms, and kitchens on this house's first, third, and fourth floors.

Each room features terracotta tiled floors, exposed original stone and timber beams, stone fireplaces, and historic doors that have all been renovated with care to maintain the original structure's character.

In a sleek and striking contrast, uber-modernist objects sit brilliantly next to such a historical backdrop in the interiors, which have been artistically and delicately polished against this legendary backdrop.

Bold, contemporary art and designer pillar box red sofas alongside the rustic, deliciousness of ancient architecture.

The bedrooms, which personify modern rustic, are designed with a designer's verve that exudes confidence and timelessness. They are done with vibrant charisma and striking colour choices.

This residence stands out because of its glossy red painted bed, antique dressing table in a rustic style, genuine recessed castle windows, and charming shutters.

A striking burgundy wrought iron bed with a fresco as its focal point contrasts with crisp, high-quality cotton sheets and sparkling chandeliers. This is a stunning home with statement art, antique porcelain objects, and wacky lighting.

Along with the castle's earthy and moderate colour schemes and its creamy interiors, the slick, contemporary yet very understated bathrooms, enormous corner tubs, and local glass tiles continue the evocative and beautiful interiors.

Ten people can sit in the colourful dining area, which is an excellent place for spirited group meals. The central kitchen is very distinctive.

The cobalt blue, perspex, and punchy bright orange cabinets provide an option for eating in. The living area is calm, classy, and filled with personality thanks to the cosy sofas, bold artwork, and the original fireplace.

The rooftop terrace, which offers unmatched views of the undulating hills and a perfect place to sip local wine, is undoubtedly the pièce de résistance.

The property is excellently located in the heart of Umbria, with Perugia, Spoleto and Orvieto all about thirty minutes away by car.

Assisi, the birthplace of St Francis, is about the same distance and offers a mystical spot seeped with history and a beautiful historical abbey.

Spoleto boasts a colourful and intriguing history and artistic heritage dating back to Roman times; the town offers authentically Umbrian winding streets, artisan cafes, crafts-based shopping, the castle, and many more churches centuries old.

Spoleto is known today for its annual summer Festival Dei Due Mondi, a showcase of the region’s music, dance, opera and theatre.

History lovers will be spoilt - from the first-century Roman amphitheatre to the twelfth-century Duomo to the fourteenth-century hilltop fortress, Rocca Albornoziana, the glut of remnants from the medieval and Bronze Age past are impressive.

The surrounding woods and mountains offer an abundance of opportunities for hiking, trekking and exploring the natural wonders of this region, including Saint Francis of Assisi’s retreat paths.

Orvieto’s centrepiece is the Duomo, with an underground tunnelling system, the antique papal residence, the “Palazzo del Capitano del Popolo”, and many other historical buildings.

The region is known for its black truffle, wines, and outstanding cuisine.

Furthermore, Rome and Florence are both accessible within a day's trip. The closest amenities are in the medieval town of Todi (10km), which comes alive during the summer with festivals, music and theatre.
