Description
With its panoramic views over vineyards, olive groves, lush woodland and the gentle rolling hills, Torre dell'Orsa stands out austere and proud against the blue Umbrian skies. The watchtower of the Orsa takes its name from the family crest. Recent restoration works have resulted in a harmonic blend of modern day fabrics and furnishings complementing the sober elegance of Torre dell'Orsa's medieval origins. The elegance and the in depth attention to detail highlights the Umbrian style and this welcoming and civilised environment provides the perfect setting for a relaxing and pleasant stay. Guests can enjoy a beautiful swimming pool at the back of the medieval walls. Beyond the scenery provides an extraordinary clam among the hills covered by olive trees, vineyard and old oak woods. Torre dell'Orsa shares its eight roomy, comfortable and stylishly furnished apartments on three floors with lift. They have spacious living-rooms warmed by stone fireplaces, with travertine frames, witnesses of ancient splendour, marble extracted in the past from local and still working quarries.
The wide bedrooms (double or triple) are simply and elegantly furnished, provided by cotton linen and warm quilts: there you will find stoned barrel-vault and trussed ceiling with chestnut beams and flat tiles, recuperated from the original medieval structure, to recoil any attempt of cancelling the past.
