Description

La Torricella is a unique and imposing dwelling, built over the centuries from a medieval watchtower. Characterised by solid stone masonry, it is immediately striking for its original entrance, which is through a covered passageway, surmounted by an arch, where carts once passed. The original structure was a post station for horses and accommodation for pilgrims on their way to Orvieto, the outline of which is visible and emerges from the view of the surrounding hills.

The structure has retained its original layout, with the stable - now a woodshed or garage - and access to the two bodies where the old post station for horses was developed. On the left-hand side we find the first wing, with the old, spacious living area and the kitchen on the ground floor, with its imposing fireplace; going up the stairs we have a double bedroom with bathroom; going up a few steps, there is a large room with fireplace, currently used as a living area and which could be used as a second bedroom, with a bathroom with sauna and storage room.

On the right side of the entrance, ground floor, there is a bedroom; down the stairs, we find the living area with direct access to the garden. Continuing on we find ourselves in a green courtyard and on the other side there is another building. The ground floor of the latter is characterised by a large portico surrounded by vines and wisteria.

Entering there is a spacious living room, a kitchen, a double bedroom and a bathroom; going up the stairs we find another bedroom, a large living room, a study and a salle de bain. The property presents an elegant and sophisticated style, cosy and eclectic, immediately captivating for the attention to the many details, the numerous architectural elements present and the variety of spaces.

Belonging to a noblewoman, an important Italian decorator, La Torricella expresses all her travel suggestions, eclecticism and love for her profession and for this residence in the Umbrian hills. La Torricella also includes approximately 2.6 hectares of agricultural land and an accessible grotto of about 15 square metres currently used as a shed.

Interested in this property? Don't lose out to currency fluctuations changing the price you pay...

Many overseas buyers in Italy do not realise they can lose thousands of pounds through adverse currency exchange rate movements.

The exchange rate on the day you make an offer on your property in Italy will not be the same as the rate you pay when you complete on your purchase, as currency markets move constantly. Any large rate movements may take it beyond your price range as the chart above illustrates the fluctuation and how much extra your property could have cost you.

The best way to avoid this significant risk is to plan your budget and currency strategy with an experienced currency specialist. They have been known to save you up to 4% compared to many high street banks, £4,000 for every £100,000, which soon adds up. They will also keep you up to date on market movements, help you set a rate in advance with a product called a Forward Contract - so you know exactly what you will pay for your property in sterling.

This is why we recommend Smart Currency Exchange Ltd. If exchange rate movements continue to be as unpredictable and as significant as they have been in the past then by not using Smart Currency Exchange Ltd your property could cost you £51,858 more.
