More than just a holiday home in Italy…

Casale di Monticello is a living story of transformation, still evolving with grace. Over a decade ago, our family began escaping the fast pace of city life to embrace the rural rhythms of Umbria – a region where time seems to breathe slower. This journey eventually led us to a rare gem: Casale di Monticello, a light-filled farmhouse perched atop the gentle hills leading to the medieval town of Todi.

Originally a monastery, later a traditional farmhouse and family home, the Casale now blends its rich history with modern comfort and minimalist Nordic elegance introduced by the next generation. It welcomes guests not with polished perfection, but with warmth, character, and soul – a place that invites you to slow down, reconnect with nature, and enjoy life's simple pleasures.

A house shaped by time, surrounded by stillness

Nestled within a 10-hectare private estate inside a protected natural reserve, the Casale is embraced by olive groves, wild herbs, and panoramic views stretching far across the Umbrian countryside. The garden evolves naturally, reflecting the property’s ancient roots – every tree and stone has a story.

The villa’s architecture defies typical rustic farmhouse style: with its thick protective walls, pastel-toned façades, and airy rooms, it feels more like a Mediterranean villa from the French Riviera. Indoors and out, each space captures the light and opens up to the landscape.

A pool with a view, and a rhythm of its own

One of Casale di Monticello’s most beloved features is the 12-meter turquoise pool, offering unmatched views over Todi and the surrounding valleys. Wooden sun loungers dot the solarium, inviting you to bask in the sun, read a book, or simply listen to the birdsong. The pool is more than a place to swim – it’s an experience that shifts with the light and seasons.

Whether you come for a family gathering, a peaceful retreat, or creative solitude, Casale di Monticello invites you to breathe deeply, walk slowly, and reconnect – with nature, beauty, and yourself.

Ground floor: Casale di Monticello welcomes guests with six different entryways. On the ground floor, an arched doorway leads into the stylish Reform-designed kitchen, featuring charming wooden-beamed ceilings. A few steps down, enjoy your meal beside a crackling fireplace in the adjacent dining room, which comfortably seats ten. From here, step directly onto the shaded terrace nestled under lush fig trees – a perfect setting for outdoor dining during warm summer days. Laundry room: fully equipped room with washing machine

An open staircase leads to the upper level. Throughout the house, original terracotta tiles create a warm, rustic feel – except in the ground floor living room, which opens out to the garden. This room offers stunning views of the surrounding landscape and is equipped with a flat-screen TV. Next door, the Camera del Giardino offers a tranquil atmosphere, private access to the garden, and an en-suite bathroom – a serene retreat for restful nights.

First floor: A short set of steps beneath an old Madonna shrine leads into the cozy first-floor living room. With its Umbrian wooden ceilings, open fireplace, chaise longue, and antique furniture, the room is perfect for relaxing, especially in autumn and winter.

The master bedroom, Camera dei Fichi, overlooks the fig trees and offers twinkling views of Umbrian hill towns at night. A small table tucked into a nook near the arched balcony entrance makes an inviting space to write, read, or simply reflect.

Second floor: The top floor can be accessed from either the garden or the first floor via a wooden staircase. Here, a spacious bedroom with en-suite bathroom welcomes the morning sun thanks to its east-facing windows. A fireplace adds a cozy touch on cooler days.

This suite features a private staircase leading to a secret rooftop terrace – the true highlight of Casale di Monticello. With breathtaking panoramic views across Umbria, it feels like flying above the countryside. The linen sofa can be converted into a double bed to accommodate two additional guests. A small cucinetta allows you to make coffee or tea while admiring the sweeping views from every window.
