This sympathetically restored hilltop farmhouse has sweeping views of the valley below. Torricella offers the perfect Italian villa experience, with its beautiful farmhouse kitchen, adjoining loggia for eating al fresco, a wonderful drawing room with enormous fireplace, and a stunning pool.

While remaining true to its Umbrian farmhouse roots, Torricella provides luxurious holiday living, and is equipped with all the modern amenities.

The villa sleeps 10 on three floors. Sleeping arrangements are flexible but are ideally suited to four couples or two families with children or family reunions. In the heat of summer it remains cool inside with breezes coming up from the valley below. The bedrooms benefit from large ceiling fans and fly screens are fitted throughout. In the cooler seasons the house is snug and warm due to the under floor heating, large open fireplace and wood burning stove. Torricella is inviting at any time of the year.

The salt water pool is sited to maximise its view over the valley. The black liner not only reflects its surroundings but also keeps the water temperature beautifully warm. There are underwater lights for evening swims. Sun loungers and pool toys are provided, with a dedicated games room by the pool.

The grounds surrounding the house are wonderful for walking in. For those who like to combine relaxation with sightseeing, there are many picturesque towns within easy driving distance such as Cortona, Città di Castello and Perugia. For the adults, think of wine tastings, cooking courses and so much more.
