La Pizzichina is a very charming old stone villa dating from the early 1600's where the time seems to stop.
It is set on a hilltop with a breathtaking view, facing the beautiful medieval city of Todi in the heart of Umbria. Excellent for an unforgettable holiday...
The old farmhouse has been sensitively converted into a warm country home with lovely antiques and comfortable modern furniture to match the old terracotta floors and beamed ceilings. On the ground floor, a spacious living room and a very nice kitchen open into the garden and a stone loggia surrounded by a well-kept garden with extensive lawns. A second sitting room and a television and reading room on the first floor provide alternative areas for lounging. Just below the house, the swimming pool is set on paved terrace with plenty of garden furniture positioned to enjoy superb views of Todi and the stunning surrounding countryside.
