Todi, Umbria 06059

Property DESCRIPTION A few steps from Todi, in the silent heart of the ancient medieval village of Torregentile, stands a small country property dating back to the 13th century, which seems suspended in time, whose walls tell stories of a distant past, perhaps of whispered prayers and simple lives marked by the sound of the bells of the nearby church of Villanova. Here, once upon a time, the village priest found refuge, who would retreat to these walls to find peace after religious functions. Internal COMPOSITION Arranged on three levels, this ancient tower extends over a total surface area of approximately 90 m2 and still preserves the authentic character of the Umbrian tradition intact. Entering the first floor we are welcomed by a small living room with fireplace and a kitchen, where the warm essence of the ancient terracotta, smoothed by the passage of generations and the exposed wooden beams, evoke the solemnity of a time that is in no hurry to pass. A terracotta staircase leads to the upper floor, where we find a bedroom with study and a bathroom and where the light filters discreetly between the small windows overlooking the countryside, opening up glimpses of rolling hills and centuries-old olive groves. Outdoor SPACES The true secret heart of the house is hidden on the ground floor, a 46 m2 stone crypt that, like an ancient womb, still breathes the mystery of the centuries. To complete this rare property, a private outdoor garden of about 188 square meters, an intimate and secluded corner, ideal for those who dream of living sweet Umbrian evenings outdoors or where you can install a welcoming hot tub. Use And POTENTIAL This ancient, simple and solemn residence carries with it a timeless charm that is waiting to be brought back to light, perfect as a peaceful corner for an artist in search of his muse, a writer in search of inspiration or a love nest immersed in the timeless magic of Umbria. DISTANCES Situated in the green heart of Italy, Todi boasts a privileged position being just a few kilometres from the main cities of Umbria such as Perugia, Orvieto, Assisi, Spoleto and Foligno, all easily reachable thanks to its central position and proximity to the E45 highway.
