Why Italian Dreams chose Ficulle

It's impossible not to fall in love with Umbria and Tuscany. After holidaying in Lucca near Pisa and exploring the area further south, we came across the wonderful development at Torre de Monaldeschi and were amazed by the incredible views and the adventurous plans to recreate a medieval borgo. In our eyes it is unique as a location and our house is similarly perfect; in keeping with the history on the outside whilst modern on the inside.

What makes this house unique

The panoramic views are truly inspiring; being able to see one of the finest cathedrals in the world from your bedroom window, perched on a volcanic rock and surrounded by beautiful countryside, is something to behold every morning. It is also extremely well-placed for access to many major destinations (Rome, Siena, Florence etc) as it is only 15 minutes from the main A1 at Fabro.

Perched on a ridge near the Tuscany border, Ficulle is enchanting. The town is a medieval jewel; 2 impressive towers rise alongside its walls to protect and encircle a maze of narrow streets, small squares and the graceful church of S. Maria Vecchia. Mini-markets, bakers and restaurants seem to appear out of nowhere and are enough to avoid daily journeys to the supermarkets of Chiusi, Orvieto or Fabro. Orvieto is magnificent. Rising from volcanic rock, the town is a maze of streets and squares and wonderful architecture.The 14th century cathedral is one of the greatest buildings of the world and its golden Gothic facade is simply stunning. Designer shops, excellent local trattorias and classy restaurants abound. The wonders of The Eternal City of Rome are only 90 minutes away by road or rail as is the magnificent city of Florence. Alternatively, try Siena, Cortona, Assisi, Todi, Perugia, the waterfalls at Terni or visit the lakes of Bolsena or Trassimeno. Whatever you want, it's here.

Golf: There is a golf course within 30 minutes drive of the house.

Simply Beautiful

5 of 5
Submitted: August 28, 2012 Stayed: July 2012
We had a fabulous time in Italy. It was made all the more special by the great accommodation. The house is lovely and furnished to a very high standard and well equipped.

The resort itself is very peaceful and we made good use of the pool area. The views from the property and the resort are simply breath taking.

Location is great and would suit those wanting to simply relax and unwind or those wanting to explore Italy. During our stay we visited Lake Trassimino, Todi, Montepulciano all of which are no more than an hours drive.

We will definately be returning and would highly recommend this property.
Owner's Response: Thank you Carole for this lovely review and we are delighted that you had such a wonderful time. We would welcome you back any time and are pleased to hear that you will be returning! The views certainly are breathtaking and nothing is nicer than taking them in from the comfort of a sun-lounger by the pools!

Most relaxing stay

4 of 5
Submitted: August 28, 2012 Stayed: August 2012
Couldn't have wished for a more relaxing venue for family and me. Owner very helpful from the start which put my mind at rest from the outset. If you want a relaxing holiday - this is certainly the place for you. It is quite a bit of the beaten track - but you get used to the journey up the hill ( it probably took 20minutes to get somewhere before you could say you were on your way to wherever you were heading - Rome was about 1.5hours away - includes 20 or so minutes to get down the hill).
Would certainly visit again!!
Owner's Response: Thank you for your review Richard; it is always good to receive feedback especially when it is positive and we would of course be delighted if you were to visit Torre de Monaldeschi again. For readers of this review, we would point out that "the hill" takes you to and from Orvieto which is a central point for a lot of poular destinations; it is not the road to the resort from Ficulle which only takes some 5 minutes by car. We can certainly confirm that it is relaxing though!

Umbrian Paradise

5 of 5
Submitted: July 9, 2012 Stayed: June 2012
My husband and I stayed at this property for two weeks at the end of June. We had a wonderful time here. The scenery was stunning and the property itself well equipped and of an extremely high standard.

The Clubhouse and Restaurant were not open for the duration of our stay but we do acknowledge that this was not the responsibilty of the property owner.

We travelled extensively around the area with our favourite places being Cortona, Todi, Lake Bolsena and Montepulciano. We were also lucky enough to see one of the qualifying races for 'il palio' at Siena which was taking place early July. A must see event - I believe that there is another one in August this year.

We would have no problems in recommending the property to others as it is ranks highly amongst our favorite properties and locations visited over the years.
Owner's Response: Thank you so much for this wonderful review Jane. We are delighted that you and your husband had such a lovely time and thanks for pointing out that there may be another "il palio" event! Thank you also for noting that the current closure of the Restaurant and Clubhouse is outside of our control - it really is. There are however a number of great restaurants within a short drive and as you say, the house is well-equipped as it is intended for self-catering. We hope you are able to return at some point - thanks again.

Beautiful resort in Umbria

4 of 5
Submitted: June 27, 2012 Stayed: June 2012
The resort is absolutely charming, situated in a very picturesque setting with amazing scenery. A car is necessary to get around, with Orvieto and Lago Di Bolsena amongst our favourites.
We stayed here in June and the weather was glorious. The apartment was spotlessly clean & furnished very tastefully and is very well equipped. The pool just outside the property was just so convenient for us.
The only downside, was that the restaurant / clubhouse was closed the week we were there, which was a pity, as previous reviewers mentioned that it was a lovely restaurant. I will add that this was not the responsibility of the property owner.
All things considered, I would certainly recommend this property.
Owner's Response: Thank you for your review Linda. We are very pleased that you enjoyed your stay and that you would recommend our house. We do take great care to make sure the house is clean and well-furnished. As you have pointed out, the availability of the restaurant and clubhouse is outside of our control and we have no forward visibility of its opening or otherwise. Thank you again.

Beautiful umbria

5 of 5

I just wanted to say thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful apartment. It has the wow factor and is very tastefully furnished. It is immaculate inside and we all smiled when we walked through the door and saw it for the first time. We love the seats in the bedroom a great place to relax and take in the amazing views. Our 2 sons loved the widescreen tv and cinema system. It has everything for a great family holiday.
We spent most of our days at the pool and clubhouse. The scenery is breathtaking and soo peaceful and tranquil, just what is needed to get away from it all. It is a great place to relax and cool off and the panoramic swimming pool is justvperfect for this.
We ate at the restaurant on site most nights also. The decor is great and the view but most of all the food and service are wonderful.We have stayed in similar resorts in tuscany but now that we have stayed at torre de monaladeschi it is here we want to return too as it has something special. The location is great far away enough from it all to relax but close to local villages and towns for other restaurants groceries and day trips etc. We especially liked Orvieto about 10 miles away and Perugia about 45 mins away. It took us about 1.5 hours from Rome l. Da Vinci airport and was easy to find.
We cannot wait to go back, we loved it and the kids loved it too.
