Stone vaults, century-old olive trees, and views of Tuscany characterize this stone house in Umbria
Perched high in the hills of Umbria, La Torre Umbria is a house with stone vaults and a swimming pool with view on Lake Trasimeno
La Torre Umbria, perched on the heights of Ponibbiale, is a house with stone vaults nestled in the Umbrian hills. Outside, century-old olive trees and fragrant undergrowth are part of the landscape. One is dazzled by this traditional stone house, where a glass tower, which gave it its name, contrasts with the traditional architecture. Its compact silhouette evokes the region’s fortified residences.
Inside, everything begins in the vaulted kitchen. The custom-built stone barrel vault ceiling frames the cream-toned furniture and natural stone countertops. The ceramics are handcrafted and authentic, adding to the room’s charm. Its large archway that opens the living room onto the hills is perhaps the house’s most striking feature.
From the sofa, it frames the view like a painting, with the scene changing by the hour as the light shifts. In the morning, Umbria is bathed in golden light. In the afternoon, it turns white. At sunset, it takes on a powdery pink hue, and Lake Trasimeno on the horizon welcomes the setting sun.
Each of the two bedrooms has its own travertine bathroom. They offer a direct view of the surrounding countryside. The stone walls, whitewashed ceilings, and dark wood trim form an elegant foundation. The decor accentuates each element with precision. It highlights the materials. Every room has a peaceful atmosphere.
Outside, the infinity pool has been positioned at a precise height: one that aligns the water’s surface with the crest of the hills. The effect is striking. You swim right into the landscape, literally. Tuscany begins just a few kilometers away. On clear days, you can see Lake Trasimeno glistening in the distance.
The terrace, shaded by olive trees, serves as a natural extension of the kitchen. A vintage Volkswagen Golf waits under the awning, ready to go. Guests can use it to explore the region. It invites you to drive along country roads and discover the authentic hilltop villages.
