Todi Dream TownhouseTodi, Umbria

This absolute gem of a property can be found in a magical location, with majestic views of the beautiful, unspoilt Umbrian countryside from every window, yet in the heart of Todi with everything it has to offer. All the restaurants, boutique shops, theatre and cinema are just a short walk from your front door. The property was originally part of a historic palazzo and Palazzo Pongelli is close by, as is the 13th century Fonte Scannabecco.

This stunning two bedroom townhouse has ample storage and living spaces. It has many wonderful period features. The house has so much Italian character yet is fully restored and ready to live in immediately.

This outstanding, spacious "pied a terre" is simply perfect for those looking for a characterful home with wonderful rooms, including a beautiful ground floor room with very high ceilings which could serve as home offices or artist studios. The property itself is ready to move into and has been immaculately maintained by the current owners. There are brand new triple pane windows upstairs in oak wood, a new boiler and radiators with digital thermostat have recently been installed and the stunning central spiral staircase in walnut was especially designed by a architect from Rome.

There are terracotta floors from the Stefani family in Castel Viscardo which has been around since the 16th century and their tiles have been used to restore iconic places like the Colosseum in Rome and the Duomo in Orvieto. They signed their work on one tile placed at the end of the largest of the two bedrooms. The chic kitchen was handmade by the marble master and artist Alessio Orazi in San Terenziano.

Todi is not only a very sought after hilltop town in Umbria but also extremely well located for accessing both Rome and Tuscany, with terrific road networks close by.
