Authentique et médiéval !
Un grand logement, spacieux, avec des terrasses, dans la tour d'un château du Xem siecle. Parfaitement équipé, literie très confortable, décoré avec goût et justesse, une vue imprenable sur les collines et les vallées de l'Ombrie. Parfait pour une retraite au calme et en pleine nature, au milieu des oliviers, des figuiers, des noyers, des amandiers, pour retrouver de la sérénité. C'est apaisant, magnifique. UN LIEU UNIQUE, que nous recommandons vivement.

Droomplekje
Voor wie zonder televisie en WiFi kan en een vrij slechte overharde weg naar het kasteel op de koop toe neemt, krijgt hier een sprookje als beloning. Wat een adembenemend uitzicht: een prachtig dal, bossen, heuvels, Umbrische dorpjes. Een rustige omgeving. Prettig contact met de eigenaar. Veel ruimte. Wat een ervaring!

Una preziosa scoperta
Il luogo è assolutamente incantevole e inusuale. Anche se non facilissimo da raggiungere, e dotato dei servizi di base necessari; la disponibilità dell'host è stata ottima. A Ferragosto, nonostante la località isolata, non aspettatevi quiete assoluta. Ma soggiornare nella torre di un piccolo, antico castello e godere di un panorama così è un'esperienza talmente rara e affascinante che sarà impossibile dimenticarla.

Eine traumhafte Woche auf der Burg
Begeistert nahmen wir die Ferienwohnung in Augenschein. Alles da, was man braucht und viel Platz. Drei Terrassen zum draußen sitzen! Je nach Tageszeit hatte man verschiedene Schattenplätze. Das Schlafzimmer war mit einer Klimaanlage ausgerüstet. Bei den Temperaturen im August einfach wunderbar. Die Aussicht sucht ihresgleichen. Wir konnten uns nicht satt sehen. Die Zufahrtsstraße war etwas abenteuerlich, aber uns hat sie nicht abgeschreckt. Schöner Ausgangspunkt für die Erkundung der alten, umbrischen Städte.

Una settimana fantastica! - A perfect week!
We had a magnificent stay in this beautiful historic building! The view from the roof terrace and from the terrace on the first floor is fantastic, the interior is beautifully restored and well-equipped, the surrounding is amazing - hiking paths start right behind the village. Most of the time we just liked to stay in the castle and to sit in the garden. Everything was just perfect: communication was easy, we had a warm, friendly welcome and received useful information. We definitely recommend it and will come back as soon as possible!
