This stone country home for sale in Todi, Umbria, sits on 1.1 hectares with a private pool and a roof terrace looking over the valley. It stands just outside the hamlet of Torregentile at the end of a quiet country road, with one neighbouring property and otherwise open hills around it. The same local family has looked after the house since 1980, and it shows: exposed wooden beams and terracotta floors run right through the building, and the stonework is in good condition.
It is a house for people who want an Umbrian country life without being cut off from town. Todi's main square is about ten minutes away by car, yet the evenings here are quiet enough to hear the garden.
The House, Room by Room
The ground floor starts with a sitting room built around a traditional open fireplace, the obvious place to be on a cool Umbrian evening. Through an open arched doorway you reach the separate kitchen, which keeps cooking apart from the living space but still lets the cook talk to everyone in the next room.
One bedroom and a bathroom complete the ground floor. The bedroom opens directly onto a veranda covered in wisteria, so a first coffee can be taken outside in your slippers, looking over the garden. That makes it a practical room for older relatives or guests who prefer to avoid stairs.
A steep wooden staircase leads up to three more bedrooms and the second bathroom. Windows on this level look out over the Umbrian countryside. At the end of the corridor a roof terrace overlooks the pool and the valley beyond, and it is the spot you will probably claim at sunset. In total the house has 194 m² of living space, four bedrooms and two bathrooms.
Garden, Pool and 1.1 Hectares
The plot measures about 11,000 m². Mature trees surround the large garden and give it shade and privacy, and there is plenty of room for a vegetable patch, an orchard or simply lawn to cross barefoot. The private pool is set within the grounds below the roof terrace, and the wisteria veranda is where long lunches and evening barbecues would naturally happen.
The current owners point to an additional buildable allowance of 100 m², and there is the possibility of extending above the terrace to create covered living space. Any extension would need proper permits and a check by a local surveyor, so treat it as a starting point for your own plans rather than a given.
Living Near Todi
Todi is a medieval hilltop town with a 13th-century palazzo and cathedral on Piazza del Popolo, a calendar of cultural events and a good choice of restaurants. The square is about ten minutes from the house, which makes a morning coffee in town or an evening out entirely realistic. Liceo Jacopone da Todi is around 12 minutes away, which matters if you plan to live here with teenagers.
As a second home in Italy, the house is easy to run: it sits on a country road, the garden and pool need regular care, and the open fireplace helps in the cooler months. Summers in this part of Umbria are warm, so the pool and the shaded garden get a lot of use. For anyone weighing up a holiday home in Umbria, the combination of a private pool, four bedrooms and a short drive to Todi is a strong one, whether you use it yourself or share it with guests.
