Casale Nordic Style

Brief description

Gorgeous, restored country house in high up, secluded yet unisolated location, with convenient access, between Todi and Avigliano Umbro. Spacious open-plan living area with large windows, 4 double bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and around 5.8 hectares of land with 2.6 hectare fertile olive grove and pool.

Geographic position

Situated on top of a small hill, Casale Nordic Style benefits from a stunning view, with 360 degree panorama of the rolling Umbrian countryside.

From the portico you can look out onto the olive grove, the woodland and all the way to the mountains in the distance.

The villa is in a peaceful, secluded, but also conveniently accessible location, which is not isolated. The surrounding countryside is dotted with the occasional farmhouse and a few little villages, the closest being just 3 km away. It is situated between Todi (15 km) and Avigliano Umbro (9 km). The location is ideal for travelling to Umbria’s main cities, including Todi, Orvieto (35 km), Perugia (58 km) and Assisi (64 km), but also to two of Central Italy’s most important cities: Rome (108 km) is around an hour and a quarter away, while Florence (186 km) is two hours away.

Lake Bolsena is 49 km away while in an hour and a half you can get to the coast of Tuscany and the Tyrrhenian sea (112 km).

The nearest airports are Perugia S. Egidio (61 km), around 45 minutes, Rome Fiumicino (143 km) and Rome Ciampino (126 km), each around an hour and 40 minutes away.

Description of buildings

The villa measures around 365 gross sq.m plus a 70 sq.m portico, and has 20 sq.m of utility areas for the swimming pool.

It is mostly laid out on one floor, where there is a pretty living area with kitchen looking out onto the covered outdoor area and a large double-height living room with fireplace. A hallway leads to a second sitting room with fireplace and the ground-floor sleeping quarters comprise two double bedrooms, each with private bathroom.

On the first floor mezzanine there is another bedroom and a bathroom and a further bedroom on the basement with a bathroom, plus a storage area.

The horseshoe-shaped layout centres around a courtyard paved with handmade tiles and furnished with a pretty table for outdoor dining. In front of the living area there is a covered area with panoramic view of the valley, with another table. Next to the kitchen there is a portico with fireplace, furnished as an outdoor sitting room. 

State and finishing

Casale Nordic Style has been built in the style of traditional Umbrian/Tuscan farmhouses, but has the advantage of being a completely new structure and therefore better performing in terms of comfort and the design of the rooms.

Unlike more traditional farmhouses, the house features open, airy and extremely bright rooms thanks to the large windows that allow you to enjoy the view from indoors.

The simple, essential style echoes the peaceful natural area in which the house is located and goes perfectly with the traditional materials such as the handmade tiles on the floors, the stone walls and the wood-beamed ceilings.

We wanted to call this property Casale Nordic Style because of its simple, practical and bright rooms which invite you to enjoy the house with guests, but also as a peaceful sanctuary and a family space.

External areas

Around the villa, there are around 5.8 hectares of land with a pretty landscaped lawn around the house, an area with cherry wood trees, a small woodland and a pretty, fertile olive grove of around 2.6 hectares.

The courtyard, the portico, the outdoor fireplace for cooking and outdoor dining, and the furnished pergola in front of the living area, provide a true extension of the house which can be enjoyed from spring all the way into early autumn.

The pretty swimming pool with panoramic view is situated nearby in a secluded location.

Use and potential uses

Casale Nordic Style is the ideal property for those looking for a house in the countryside, which is not isolated, with larger, brighter rooms than most rural farmhouses but which still has the character and traditional materials of Umbrian country houses.

It would be perfect as a second home, which could be rented out on the weekly holiday rentals market while not in use to provide an interesting annual income.

Distances and location

Umbria - Italy

Neighboring regions: Toscany, Lazio, Marche

Characteristics: 

Often called the “green heart of Italy,” Umbria enchants national and international buyers with its rolling hills, olive groves, vineyards and timeless medieval towns. Authentic and deeply spiritual, the region is ideal for those seeking privacy, tranquility and a slower pace of life—far from the crowds of mass tourism, yet always close to charming historic centers and cultural treasures.

Umbria is often considered the sister of Tuscany: a green and hilly land rich in vineyards, olive groves and artistic heritage. Perfectly placed in Central Italy, between Rome and Florence, it offers easy access to world-renowned art cities and enchanting medieval towns such as Perugia (home to an important international university), Spoleto, Orvieto, Todi, Assisi and Spello. Just 15 minutes from Perugia lies Lake Trasimeno, the fourth largest lake in Italy after Como, a favorite destination for sailing, outdoor activities and relaxation.

The climate is mild and pleasant all year round, with winters rarely falling below zero and summers averaging around 25°C. Beyond its landscapes, Umbria is also alive with major cultural events such as the Festival dei Due Mondi in Spoleto and Umbria Jazz in Perugia, along with countless local festivals that, especially in summer, bring small villages and historic piazzas to life.

 

Property offer

Here, traditional stone farmhouses—very similar in style to those of neighboring Tuscany, yet often more accessible in price—are among the most requested properties. Many have been carefully restored, with private gardens, panoramic pools and mature parks. Perfect as a private retreat, they are also excellent investment opportunities thanks to the strong demand for luxury holiday rentals.

Umbria enjoys a strategic location: it borders Tuscany, is less than two hours from both Rome and Florence, and offers easy access to major art cities such as Perugia, Assisi, Orvieto, Todi and Spoleto. Beyond farmhouses, buyers are also drawn to historic villas, castles, monasteries and apartments in perfectly preserved medieval towns such as Spello, Trevi and Montefalco.

For those dreaming of a second home in Italy, Umbria combines authenticity, natural beauty, cultural richness and investment potential—making it one of the most appealing destinations for national and international buyers today.
