VILLA BERENICE

Sleeps 12

Todi-Perugia, Umbria-Italy

Thick stone walls, exposed washed wooden beams: this Umbrian restored historical tower is located in a very panoramic position, with absolute privacy and a contemporary, international feel: the views from each bedroom window will sculpt a for-ever memory in visitors. The tower is decorated with modern 1950 furnishing from Italian designers and modern comforts such as wireless internet and an elevator.

Scrupulously restored and absolutely contemporary in contrast to its original context, this tower, an ancient stronghold built in the twelfth century commanding its surroundings, is embracing the spirit of the Middle Ages
and that of today. Each floor is almost independent from the rest of the house. Located near the charming town of Todi, the property comes with its own land and affords views of the scenic landscape from every angle. The interiors include two spacious living rooms, a dining area, an eat-in wellequipped kitchen and a top terrace. The estate includes 1,5 hectares of surrounding wood area and private grounds, the close-by restaurants serve earthy cuisine. Close to Perugia, Assisi, Cortona, Valdorcia and Rome. The peaceful and serene surroundings of this property make it a particular fit for guests who love privacy, nature, seclusion and relaxation. A car is necessary to enjoy the area.
