Villa Arrighi Umbria
Villa Arrighi consists of a watchtower with an adjoining fortified farmhouse and has a commanding view towards Tuscany and all along the Niccone Valley. It was meticulously restored in 2004 and now consists of three buildings: the main house, guest cottage and bread oven. The imposing L-shaped main house consisting of the former fortified farmhouse and watchtower, is approached through the entrance gates, past the guest cottage, up a short drive lined with holm oaks and the mature garden planted with ancient olive trees and Mediterranean plants.

A large paved courtyard with fountain leads into Arrighi
which has some fine Romanesque features and the origins of the building
that date back to the 11th century. It has been renovated to preserve
the austere external appearance while creating a spacious light modern
interior with sandstone flooring and a glass-encased external staircase.
Extensive private grounds and generous 360 degree views, an 18 x 4 m
infinity pool and vaulted pool house and the minimalist interiors make
this a unique property.
