The Tower of Pila

A Historic Jewel in the Heart of Umbria

Located in the heart of Umbria, a few kilometers from Perugia, Villa la Torre di Pila is an exclusive historic residence immersed in a private park. The strategic location allows easy access to some of the most renowned art cities, such as Todi, Assisi, Spoleto, Gubbio and Siena, as well as being well connected to Rome and Florence thanks to the presence of an airport nearby.

The villa's charm is the result of the design of architect Ugo Tarchi, who elegantly reinterpreted Roman and Tuscan architectural elements of the 17th and 18th centuries. Its unique structure, enriched by an exposed stone tower, offers an evocative panorama that stretches as far as Assisi, Perugia and Lake Trasimeno, making it a timeless location.

Centuries of History and Revival

The Villa stands around a 15th-century watchtower, transformed over the centuries into a prestigious aristocratic residence. The Marquis Monaldi family enlarged the property, creating elegant gardens and making it a landmark of the local aristocracy.

In 1930, Count Francesco Maria Guardabassi commissioned architect Ugo Tarchi to carry out a major restoration, inspired by Roman and Tuscan Renaissance residences. The villa was enriched with Italian gardens, a pond, swimming pool and amphitheater, while a 4-kilometer aqueduct ensured water supply.

During World War II, the property was occupied by German and then Allied forces, suffering looting and abandonment. Later, it was rented to the Bulgari family, only to be purchased in 1989 by Maurizio Petrini, a local entrepreneur, who oversaw its restoration.

Today, the villa retains its architectural and landscape heritage, with frescoed halls, a panoramic tower and a park full of ancient trees. Recognized as an asset of historical interest, it has become an exclusive location for events, weddings and charming stays, where history and beauty come together in a unique experience.
