In the absolute tranquillity of the Umbrian countryside, close to Todi, is Casale dei Gelsomini, a splendid house set in this magnificent green hilly landscape, rich in history, culture, traditions and good food. From the windows and the pool you look out over a panorama of breathtaking beauty while the magical atmosphere surrounding you at Casale dei Gelsomini while sipping a glass of wine at sunset will be an unforgettable experience. Newly built, it has maintained the style of typical country houses with its stone-clad exterior, wooden ceiling beams and country-chic wooden floor planks that provide a particularly intense warmth. Designed with great attention to detail and equipped with all comforts, its luxurious interior is the result of a successful combination of traditional architectural elements and modern furnishings that render every room warm and welcoming.

In the evening the outdoor lights in various strategic spots render the garden even more fascinating, both around the pool and in the rest of the property.Please notice that photos are taken in spring, therefore flower blossoming, and the colours of the gardens' grass could be different at the moment of your arrival at the villa.
