Villa Valentino is arranged over two floors, each with a separate entrance boasting antique Umbrian style doors. The top floor entrance leads to the master bedroom and study. The master suite has a walk-in wardrobe and dramatic antique double doors leading to a vast en-suite master bathroom wich has a free-standing Devon and Devon Victorian cast-iron roll top bath with chrome fittings, a travertino vanity top with built-in storage, heated towel-rail, large sink, toilet and bidet. French windows lead from both the bedroom and bathroom to a covered terrace with breath-taking views towards Todi and surrounding mountains. An archway from the entrance corridor leads to a lovely study, with views towards Todi. The study is equipped with ample power-points and TV aerial connection.
A hand-made travertino staircase leads down to the main living room, which has a huge, specially commissioned, travertino fireplace with a carved ‘Griffoni’ (the ancient symbol of power in Umbria). The room, as all the rooms throughout the house, benefits from massive chestnut ceiling beams and hand-made terracotta floor tiles. An archway leads to the second, generously proportioned, living room with the Todi facing wall being stone clad with barrelled old brickwork covering the French windows. Another archway connects to the dining room, which has two sets of french windows (perfect in the summer for access to the garden). A final archway leads to a huge kitchen with two sets of travertino ’rosso’ work benches with large under-mounted double sinks. The kitchen boasts a fabulous LaCanche range (two ovens and six gas burners) with a antique style extraction hood. All the units in the kitchen have been fabricated in old chestnut wood and the splash back tiles are hand-made and hand-painted from Naples.

There are two large bedrooms on the ground floor, each has a walk-in wardrobe and a en-suite wet-room, both bedrooms also have covered terraces accessed through French windows. The wet-rooms feature top-of-the-range German fittings, under-mounted sinks set in travertino vanity tops, toilets, bidets and heated towel rails.

A corridor from the kitchen leads to a walk-in pantry with plenty of antique chestnut shelves, which then leads to a massive laundry room housing a washing machine, dryer and two stone sinks. The gas boiler, back-up water tank and under-floor heating couplings are also located here. A door from the laundry room leads to a bunker-style storage space, which runs the entire length of the property, this is currently used to store wood, garden and pool equipment. There are two external doors connected to the bunker

Leading out of the main reception room is a covered terrace which then leads to the swimming pool, which has a large terrace surrounding it with inlaid travertino detail. The entire property is fenced in a classic crossed-chestnut beam style. There are double wrought iron gates at the entrance, which are remote controlled, as is all the external lighting on the property.
