Villa Torre

43.2540° N, 12.2580° E · Umbria, Italy

Villa Torre rose again from the ruins of a medieval tower, and the old stonework still runs through the house — thick walls, an arched window seat, a fireplace you could stand in. Three bedrooms and three bathrooms sleep six (eight at a push). The pool sits on a terrace below, ringed by olive trees, with the hills of northern Umbria opening out beyond it.
