Umbria, Terni, Baschi, Italy

This 19th-century property in the Tiber Valley Natural Park, between Todi and Orvieto, has undergone a high-quality renovation. It's a rare example of antique rural architecture, with only about 10 similar properties in the area, making it a distinctive landmark. Originally rebuilt in the 1980s by an art gallerist and featured in publications like The Terence Conran Book, it was completely refurbished in 2011 by the current owners.
The property features 3 double en-suite bedrooms in the 3-level main house and 2 en-suite bedrooms in the 2-level guesthouse. A charming courtyard separates the two buildings, ideal for use as a winter terrace. The main house's ground floor, once a stable, is now a spacious living area with high beamed ceilings, stone arches, and a central fireplace. The first floor has a sitting room with a fireplace and 3 large en-suite bedrooms. The guesthouse includes an open-plan living room and kitchen leading to a panoramic terrace.
The landscaped garden offers relaxing areas with courtyards, pergolas, and shaded spots, all with extensive views. The property also includes a travertine-bordered swimming pool with a jacuzzi tub and pergola.
Surrounded by an unspoilt landscape of woods and stone villages, this property provides exceptional country living, suitable for personal or rental use. It is within walking distance of a grocery store (Collelungo) and cafés (Acqualoreto), with Todi 13 km away and Orvieto 35 km away.
