Todi, Umbria, Italy

Perched between the sky and the green Umbrian countryside, Villa Martana with its infinity pool of very large dimensions, boasts a spectacular position overlooking the valley and the Medieval centre of Todi which, with its bell towers and domed churches, stands out on the landscape between the farmhouse itself and the horizon.brbrCIN: IT054028C204033647 brbrOne of Umbria's most beautiful hill towns, even described as one of the most liveable towns in the world, Todi is perched high up in the hills with spectacular views in every direction.brThe Villa has a secluded location but is only 3 minutes drive (30 minutes on foot) from the nearest village of Grutti with a good restaurant and basic shops.brThe landscape, that guests can admire from the garden of the Villa, dining alfresco or having an aperitif at sunset, looks like a XV century painting and is a combination of pristine nature and the patient works of mankind who, over two thousand years, has laid the roads that have been in use since Roman times, cultivated the fields, the olive groves and the vineyards, and has constructed a series of hilltop villages.brbrDESCRIPTION OF THE VILLAbrThe property is dated back from 17th century and was tastefully restored a few years ago by the owners that are achitects and have a real passion for fine arts. Some of the works of art of their collection are inside the villa.

The villa is partially air conditioned.brThe ground floor features a spacious and bright living room with fireplace, large french doors and direct access to the garden, this is the vibrant heart of the house. brUnlike most of the farmhouses in Umbria and Tuscany, which have many walls and corridors, here the architect has designed an open and fluid space between the living room, the dining room and the kitchen. This floor has a service bathroom and each room has direct access to the scenic veranda overlooking Todi and the garden with pool.brFrom the ground floor, through a staircase, is possible to reach the lower level that has a direct access to the pool area of the garden. On this level there is a gym and a service bathroom.brbrThe sleeping area is on the first floor. It is composed of two double bedrooms with en suite bathrooms (one with large walk-in shower and the other with bathtub and shower head), a twin bedroom and a double bedroom with shared bathroom (walk-in shower). One of the double bedrooms, the red one, has a sofa that can be converted in single bed or a normal single bed can be added, on request, to accommodate up to 11 guests, 12 with a child on the sofa bed.brThe master bedroom has a very large king size bed (220 centimetres width) and the red bedroom has a large bed 180 centimetres width; the other beds are 160 centimetres width, the normal size in Europe for a bed comfortably accommodating 2 people.brConnected to the main house through a porch, there is the lovely GUEST HOUSE composed of a living room with fireplace and a sofa bed (for kids/children), a double bedroom and a bathroom with walk-in shower.
