Podere Casemasce

A perfect paradox of a house, this family villa is both stylish and informal, secluded yet close to the gorgeous town of Todi, and quite grown-up but with two hectares of grounds for children to run around. Furnished throughout with effortless elegance, the traditional stone walls and exposed roof rafters blend well with the fresh feel of the villa’s gently contemporary décor. Occupying the ground floor are two sitting rooms, one in cool creamy white and the other more casually dressed with cosy colours and floor cushions; and an ultra-modern kitchen and adjacent dining area, where cook service could be an added indulgence. These open out to a big covered terrace, forming al fresco living areas and looking out to the amazing views. Individually styled, and in a layout that may suit two families, two bedrooms share a bathroom on the first floor, and there are three en suite rooms at the lower level. And just below the house, in very spacious lawns, the generously large swimming pool is joined by a gazebo. Medieval Todi’s shops and restaurants are just 9km from the villa, Perugia and Assisi are both within a 50km drive, and there is a little local shop just 3km away.
