Wonderful Medieval Tower with Park and Large Swimming Pool
The Perfect Retreat in the Magic Umbrian Countryside
Sleeps 12 (6 Bedrooms)
|
|
'Torre del Falco' - 'The Hawk Tower', is a beautiful, ancient stone tower located 1.5 miles from the medieval town of Spoleto. The property sits on a hill overlooking a beautiful valley and facing Monte Luco, the first hermitage place of St. Francis of Assisi. Surrounded by an olive grove, the beautiful swimming pool is there for you to swim or to get lazy lying on a deck chair. The blue of the water melts perfectly with the ivory of the stone, the green of the olives and the violet of the lavender bush, permeating the air with its relaxing fragrance. A pergola by the pool offers you a chance to breakfast in the first rays of the sun or to dine under the starry sky, and on the top floor of the tower you will find a gorgeous panoramic terrace with kitchen, perfect for your outdoor meals enjoying the cool breeze. And if you need a break from the open-air activities, the lovely bedrooms will lull you into lazy naps.

Guest comments
'This is a place out of a fairy story. The renovation is perfect and the tower a novelty that is very well equipped. The owner is beyond perfect in her help so that the holiday does not have any hiccups and Spoleto has a very friendly Italian population. Within easy reach of Rome by train but it is better to drive around the area of Spoleto. The pool is wonderful and young and old enjoyed it tremendously especially on the hot days. The mornings are cool and the sun radiant and though the property is it is within an area of great walks. Our family of 9 people found it large enough to enjoy solitude as well as company. This is the Italy that we all think is "Amore" ' - Gregory & Janice Marlam,UK,08/08
'We had a wonderful stay in the lovely Torre del Falco. In need of r&r we settled seamlessly into its beautiful environment. The attention to detail, spectacular setting and proximity to the lovely Spoleto have made it a must to revisit. Thank you Beatrice' - Margaret Bouchier,Dublin,09/08
