Charming family villa in Umbria

In brief

• Contemporary country style
• Within walking distance of a restaurant
• Prices for smaller parties

A sturdy stone house in spacious grounds, Casa Andrea blends old world character with modern comforts, and combines a sense of seclusion with easy access to amenities. Outside, in about an acre of lawned gardens, an attractive swimming pool is splashed by a rock feature waterfall, a volleyball net and children’s football goal encourage outdoor play, and a tennis court is shared with sister-villa Ceccomoro, also featured by CV Villas. Inside the villa are light and airy rooms, designed with a contemporary twist on rustic simplicity. Exposed stone walls, terracotta tiles and heavily beamed ceilings frame intriguing artworks and stylish furniture, and huge stone arches form the divides between the open-plan dining and sitting rooms. Ideal for families or groups of friends, there is an additional large TV room and flexible accommodation includes two bedrooms which can be made-up as double or twin beds, and two extra day beds which are suitable for children.

La Casina is a charming, newly available guesthouse that offers stylish accommodation for up to four additional guests. On the ground floor, there is a spacious double bedroom with a sitting area opening onto the gardens, a modern shower room, a fully equipped kitchen, and a bright dining room framed by large windows. Upstairs, accessed via an exterior stone staircase, there’s a self-contained double bedroom with its own contemporary shower room, providing privacy and comfort. La Casina is ideal for larger parties or for families wish to spread out.

The property is within 2km of a local shop and restaurant, 8km from facilities in Todi’s medieval streets, and 35km from atmospheric Orvieto.
