THE MINIMALIST

​

Our journey starts off at this 12th century Umbrian watchtower. The 7 bedrooms are monastically simple and the way it has been refurbished has maintained its integrity and charm. Get away and enjoy the tranquillity but also take over this tower and have the time of your life with family and friends.  Outbuildings, gardens, terraces, and a 25 metre infinity pool are aligned on an axis with the tower to maximise the dramatic 360-degree views over secluded valleys, unchanged for centuries, giving the sensation of being totally removed from the modern world.. for that wow factor this is it!
