State and finishing
The farmhouse, which retains the architectural features typical of 19th-century dovecote towers, is presented in excellent condition following a comprehensive restoration that has allowed for a functional enhancement of the building while fully respecting its original character.
The finishes are entirely consistent with the property’s identity and setting. The ceilings on the ground floor and in the principal living areas on the upper levels feature exposed wooden beams. The windows are wooden with double glazing, fitted with wrought-iron grilles and traditional wooden shutters, while the internal doors are crafted from solid walnut.

External areas
The property is surrounded by approximately 2 hectares of private land, including a beautifully landscaped garden with swimming pool, an olive grove, a wooded area and a dedicated vegetable garden.
The garden is well maintained, with extensive lawns, centuries-old oak trees, perimeter hedges, and bushes of various species. The Mediterranean scrub forest, also well maintained, contributes to defining a private natural setting of great scenic beauty. Within the forest there are also several truffle grounds, which further enhance the value and authenticity of the property.
Set within the garden is a swimming pool measuring approximately 15 x 6.5 metres, perfectly integrated into its surroundings and complemented by a terracotta-paved sun terrace.
The property has a main entrance, with an electric gate equipped with a video intercom, which opens onto a beautiful driveway leading to the farmhouse and the garage opposite, and a secondary service entrance.

Use and potential uses
Thanks to its panoramic hillside setting and close proximity to the historic centre of Spoleto, La Torre Colombaia is ideally suited both as a primary residence and as an elegant countryside retreat for extended stays or holidays.
The natural setting, private yet not isolated, offers a rare balance between tranquillity and convenience, combining privacy with easy access to the services, infrastructure and cultural vitality of one of Umbria’s most important art cities.
The property also lends itself well to the luxury holiday rental market during periods of non-use, thanks to its strategic location in relation to Spoleto and other major historic centres of central Italy, highly sought after by international clientele.
