Il Torrione is a country house full of atmosphere. It is located in a panoramic position and enjoys a wonderful view of the surrounding countryside. It is close to the external walls of the medieval castle of Monteleone, an 11th-century citadel built by the people from Orvieto to protect its northern border territories.
The property is independent, while not secluded. It contains the main building, an elegant cottage, 4ha (9,88ac) of land, and has the right to build an extra 100m² (1.076ft²).
The buildings were carefully restored and the result is a unique residence, where the traditional characteristics (facades in stone, wooden fixtures, and fireplaces in stone) blend with a very modern design.
