Luxury Villas in Todi
Country houses and palazzo apartments with pools, in the hills around a medieval town above the Tiber
As featured in
A medieval hill town with the Tiber at its feet
Todi sits on a hill above the Tiber valley in southern Umbria. Its main square, Piazza del Popolo, is one of the finest medieval piazzas in Italy, and below the walls stands Santa Maria della Consolazione, a domed Renaissance church you can see across half the valley. Around the town the land rolls away in olive groves, oak woods and sunflower fields, and the pace is slower than in Tuscany, a short drive to the north west.
Our Todi collection runs to 40 properties, from restored farmhouses and stone villas with countryside views to large apartments within converted estates and palazzi, almost all with pools and some with tennis courts.
Here is a guide to the town, the hills around it and the best time to come.

The hills just outside Todi for views and easy evenings in the piazza, the Tiber valley villages towards Montecastello di Vibio for quiet countryside, and Perugia and the rest of Umbria within an hour.
Three palaces, a cathedral and a poet's tomb
Piazza del Popolo is the heart of Todi. Three medieval civic palaces line it, the Palazzo del Popolo, the Palazzo del Capitano and the Palazzo dei Priori, and the cathedral faces them from the top of a broad flight of steps. Around them is a tangle of steep lanes, small squares and loggias. On summer evenings the steps fill with people watching the light fade.
A short climb away, the Gothic church of San Fortunato holds the tomb of Jacopone da Todi, the thirteenth century Franciscan poet, in its crypt. The gardens beside it are the best place in town to catch a breeze on a hot afternoon.

A Renaissance dome and the Tiber valley
Santa Maria della Consolazione was begun in 1508 and took a century to finish. Its design has long been linked to Bramante, though no document confirms it, and its domes and apses make it one of the purest centrally planned churches of the Renaissance. Many of our villas look straight at it.
Beyond it, the countryside runs down to the Tiber and up into small walled villages. Montecastello di Vibio, a short drive north, has the Teatro della Concordia, built in 1808 and seating just 99 people across its stalls and two tiers of boxes. It still puts on performances, and it makes for a lovely evening out.
Explore Umbria
Ceramics, cathedrals and a lake
Todi is well placed for exploring Umbria. Deruta, around half an hour north, has been making painted maiolica for centuries, and Perugia, with its galleries and chocolate, is under an hour away. Orvieto and its cathedral façade lie to the south west, reached on a lovely road past Lake Corbara.
Montefalco, the home of Sagrantino wine, and Spoleto are both comfortably manageable in a day, and Assisi is around an hour away. That leaves plenty of time to come back for a swim before dinner.

Truffles, Sagrantino and a festival at summer's end
Umbrian cooking is simple and generous: handmade pasta with black truffle, slow-roasted porchetta, lentils, wild boar and new olive oil poured over toasted bread. Sagrantino from Montefalco is the local red to order.
May, June and September are the best months, warm enough for the pool without the July and August heat. The Todi Festival of theatre, music and dance has run since 1987 and fills the town in late August and early September. Autumn brings the olive harvest and the truffle season. Our concierge can arrange a private chef, wine tastings, truffle hunts and tables in town.

The right house, not the nearest one
Todi's villas are spread across hills on both sides of the Tiber, and we know which ones look at the town, which are a short drive from the piazza and which lanes are best avoided late at night. With 40 properties in Todi, we can usually find the house that suits you rather than the one that happens to be free. Search by size, pool, location and price, or tell us what you have in mind and we will put together a shortlist.
Book direct
You book with us directly, with no booking fees. Questions about access, parking, pool heating or how far it really is to the nearest beach go to people who can find out the answer.
A concierge who knows the territory
Private chefs, Sagrantino tastings in Montefalco, truffle hunts, Todi Festival tickets, restaurant reservations, car hire and transfers from Perugia or Rome. Our concierge team arranges all of it, leaving you free to decide which terrace to sit on.
A house for every kind of party
Couples, families with small children, three generations together or a crowd of friends celebrating a birthday: we match the house to the group, down to the number of bathrooms and whether the pool is fenced.
