OVERVIEW

Umbria is filled with surprises: gentle, dreamy landscapes, wonderful naturalistic views concealing one of Italy’s richest woodland heritages, the vestiges of an ancient past, Etruscan and Roman remains, medieval and Renaissance style buildings and churches, all carefully blended together to create a welcoming atmosphere of rare beauty. This prestigious natural stage is the setting for the Le Bandite: located inside a fully fenced 13 hectare property (8 hectares of which are cultivated), this splendid villa is the result of long, patient renovation work carried out on an important country farmhouse, part of the enormous agricultural estate that was spread around Sismano Castle, a fortress built in the Middle Ages to defend the city of Todi (which is just 10 Km away). The atmospheric outline of Sismano Castle is clearly visible as part of the 360° view of the surrounding hills that can be enjoyed from the villa and its gardens, where time appears to have stopped.

The villa consists of a central main body with two symmetrical wings and an independent annex: the bright and elegant interior, which has been restored using precious materials, features numerous antique items, rich drapes and a sophisticated décor creating a relaxed, warm and intimate atmosphere. Each room has its own particular style and the bathrooms include antique tiles and marble. The attention and care dedicated to every detail reveals the owners’ great taste and admirable knowledge of furnishing.

The outdoor living space gives guests the time and place to escape and enjoy the relaxing atmosphere of the villa surrounded by the beauty of Umbria. Come and escape to Le Bandite to explore the region and all that it has to offer.
