About this apartment rental
Because the house is taller than those surrounding it, each room enjoys plenty of light all day long and there are stunning views over rooftops, churches and town monuments. The balcony offers fresh air and a peaceful view of the surrounding hills.
You’ll find the apartment in the heart of Todi, an Umbrian hilltown famous for picturesque winding streets and breathtaking views.
It was once the home of the painter Umberto Bartolini, an art teacher and prominent cultural figure in Todi at the turn of the twentieth century, and you can read about his life in the guestbook. The apartment is decorated with his oil paintings, drawings and sketches as well as photographs taken by the current owner, who is Bartolini's descendant and an artist in his own right.
At this house, you’ll be welcomed as a traveller -- even a member of the family -- and never an anonymous tourist.
The apartment is situated on the upper two floors of a traditional stone-built house dating from the Middle Ages.
The Second Floor hosts a formal living room dedicated to Bartolini's memory and decorated with his paintings and drawings, as well as lovely 19th-century antiques. The 2 bedrooms (1 double and 1 single) are connected by a full bathroom. Both bedrooms have fine views.
The Third Floor has a dining-room with a table for four, and it leads out to a balcony with beautiful views over the hills to the south and west. The sunsets behind the cupola of the famous Renaissance church, the Tempio di Santa Maria della Consolazione, are amazing. There is a fully equipped kitchen open to the dining-room on one side and a sitting-room (with sofabed) on the other, as well as a single bedroom with half bath.
Please be aware that in order to enjoy the beautiful views from the property, you will be climbing three flights of stairs to reach the apartment on the Second Floor, and two more to get to the Third Floor. The apartment is therefore not accessible to anyone with limited mobility.
The narrow streets of Todi are beautiful but can also present parking problems. Directly in front of the apartment is a small piazza where you can stop to unload your bags. And only a few metres down the road there is unlimited and secure free parking. The free parking area is indeed only 5 minutes away -- you have to walk downhill from the apartment to get to it, uphill to get back to the apartment.

The location cannot be beaten! If you want to experience the peacefulness and beauty of Tuscany, without the prices or over-tourism then this is your place. Carlo gave us great recommendations for dinner and what to do. We would not only come back, we would consider living here!

This apartment is spotlessly clean, spacious and comfortable with wonderful views of the surrounding countryside and the rooftops from almost every window. It has everything you would need, including a basic pantry. There is only 2 of us but we enjoyed the indulgence of having a bit more space to spread out.
Carlo was so helpful and approachable, always responding promptly to our questions. He gave us a tour of the old town, pointing out the sites and his favourite places to eat, while showing us where to park. He then helped us plan our day trips to the surrounding countryside.
Just a warning for those with mobility issues that this apartment has a lot of stairs and the town has some steep streets, as do most hilltop towns. Carlo helped us with our luggage so that was not a problem.
This was a very relaxing place to base our exploration of Umbria which we highly recommend.

If you are looking at the description of this apartment and wondering if it can possibly be as wonderful as it appears, the answer is a definite YES. This was a perfect home base for our week in Umbria in early May. Todi is one of the loveliest towns we visited in Umbria. The location of the apartment, an easy walk from public parking, was so convenient. The layout and decor of the apartment, on two floors, is delightful, with a light and airy feeling. Carlo has carefully provided everything to make staying here a pleasure. The bed is comfortable, the kitchen is charming, and I cannot even begin to adequately describe the amazing views from every room and especially from the balcony/terrace off the dining room. Coming "home" to this apartment each day was such a treat. Carlo was a perfect host. He handled arrival and departure seamlessly, at our convenience, welcomed us warmly and gave us a personal and information-packed introduction to the beautiful town of Todi. We hope to return in the future, and we would definitely stay here any time we're traveling in the area. Grazie mille, Carlo!

Just home from Carlo's apartment in Todi. The apartment is in an absolutely charming and friendly town in Umbria. The apartment is inside the old City wall a short distance from theCentral square . It is a beautiful apartment with lovely decor but the wow factor are the views...especially from the balcony. To top it off Carlo is a super host who gave us great recommendations for restraints and days out. We would highly recommend the apartment and the town of Todi for your trip to Umbria 😀
