Atti Tower is a breathtaking historical tower rising from the woods and overlooking rolling scenery, akin to something from a Renaissance painting. This enchanting home is like a vision out of the pages of a fairy tale: a medieval tower set on a hilltop overlooking the rural hills of Umbria.
Built in the 12th century, this unique residence blends history and designer flair. Formerly the home of an aristocratic family, it offers sleek, yet original interiors over five storeys, comprising five double bedrooms and seven bathrooms, with a kitchen on both the ground, third and fourth floor.
Each room has been faithfully restored within the spirit of the original building; terracotta tiled flooring, exposed original stone and timber beams, stone fireplaces and ancient doors. Against this mythical backdrop, the interiors have been artfully and gracefully finished, and in a chic, and contrasting twist, uber modernist pieces sit magnificently alongside such a historical backdrop. Bold, contemporary art and designer pillar box red sofas alongside the rustic, deliciousness of the ancient architecture.
Epitomising modern rustique, the bedrooms are executed with vivid charisma and bold colour choices, along with a designer verve that displays both confidence and timeless charm. From the glossy crimson painted bed alongside antique, rustic style dressing table, with the original recessed castle windows and pretty shutters, this is a home with a difference. A beautiful hand carved timber bed in solid walnut is offset by crisp, quality cotton linens, and glittering chandeliers, whilst a vivid burgundy wrought iron bed has a fresco as its centrepiece; from statement art, to antique porcelain artefacts and funky lighting - this is an unforgettable home.
The evocative and glamorous interiors continue through the slick, modern yet quintessentially discreet bathrooms; huge corner tubs and local glass tiles, along with the earthy and neutral palettes of the castle and its creamy interiors. A vivacious dining room accommodates ten - a fabulous setting for lively group meals, whilst the main kitchen is something rather unique. Punchy bright orange cupboards, cobalt blue and perspex chairs offering an eat-in option, whilst the living room is sedate, genteel, yet also brimming with character - with cosy sofas and statement art, along with the original fireplace.
The pièce de resistance has to be the roof top terrace, offering panoramic views of the rolling hills and a peerless spot to enjoy a glass of local wine.
Why should you book it?
Atti Tower is a uniquely captivating home, offering glorious views and a taste of authentic Umbria.

Location
About the surrounding area of Atti TowerAtti Tower is excellently located in the heart of Umbria, with Perugia, Spoleto and Orvieto all about thirty minutes away by car. Assisi, birthplace of St Francis, is likewise about the same distance, and offers a mystical spot seeped with history and a beautiful historical abbey.
Spoleto boasts a colourful and intriguing history as well as artistic heritage dating back to Roman times; the town itself offers authentically Umbrian winding streets, artisan cafes, crafts-based shopping, as well as the castle and many churches which are centuries old. Spoleto is known today for its annual summer Festival Dei Due Mondi, a showcase to the region’s music, dance, opera and theatre.
History lovers will be spoilt - from the first century Roman amphitheatre to the twelfth century duomo, to the fourteenth century hilltop fortress, Rocca Albornoziana, the glut of remnants from the medieval and Bronze Age past are impressive.
The surrounding woods and mountains offer an abundance of opportunity for hiking, trekking and exploring the natural wonders of this region, including Saint Francis of Assisi’s retreat paths.
Orvieto’s centrepiece is the Duomo, with an underground tunnelling system, the antique papal residence, the “Palazzo del Capitano del Popolo” as well as an array of other historical buildings.
The region is also known for its black truffle and wines and wonderful cuisine.
Furthermore, Rome and Florence are both accessible within a day trip. Whilst the closest amenities are in the medieval town of Todi (10km), which comes alive during the summer with festivals, music and theatre.

Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesAtti Tower is a delightful, fairy tale style castle in the woods: a magical and mystical place surrounded by wonderful gardens and mysterious woodlands - full of exploration potential. The pool will offer hours of splashy fun for budding swimmers, ideal for those wanting to perfect their moves, or just to cool down after a hot day of sight seeing, whilst dining outside will be a pleasure.
The sense of tranquillity that comes from waking up to stunning views of rolling Umbrian hills means parents can relax whilst children are in their element, playing in the gardens or by the pool. Happy children means parents can relax and unwind!
Umbria is punctuated with pretty, medieval towns - when drinking up the atmosphere becomes too much, there is always a piazza offering a pizza restaurant or a Gelateria to cool down.
Marmore waterfalls are worth a visit; impressively made by the Romans, an afternoon of rafting will keep those young adventure junkies occupied! Horse riding schools are available locally, to provide wonderful tours through the hills on horseback.
The Cite della Domenica is a zoo just outside Perugia, whilst the Acqua Parc Tavernella will occupy younger members of the group and certainly tire them out. Umbria has a wonderful amount of family friendly activities, primarily taking advantage of the stunning natural surroundings.
