20 minute walk to Spoleto
Sleeps 2/4 (1 Bedroom)
|
|
The garden now has a hot tub and outdoor shower with a magnificent yet private view of Spoleto and a completely repaved/widened entry road. La Torre dell’Artista: This lovingly restored artist’s home is located in a ‘sacred grove’ on the hillside of Monteluco, which has a wooded nature preserve facing Spoleto. The stunning farmhouse tower sits tranquilly amid olive groves and is within a stones throw of hiking paths that wind up through a forest renowned since ancient Roman times. The paths lead past historic hermitages and Franciscan retreats and up to spectacular views of the Umbrian valley and surrounding foothills of the Apennines.

Guest comments
The Torre exceeded all expectations. I loved it here so much that I declined several day trips in order to just sit here and enjoy the Umbrian view, on 'Italy Time'.
