'Torre del Falco', a wonderful medieval tower in Spoleto

We were lucky to have 3 weeks at Beatrice's paradise last year. One week in the Nest and 2 in the Falconer. Charmingly decorated and fully equipped it was a perfect setting to unwind after a strenuous couple of years. Beatrice was extremely helpful and the cats and ponies a delight.
Spoleto itself has a lot to offer, not least the wonderful restaurants that Beatrice can recommend. But this is a perfect spot to explore and enjoy the delights of Umbria. Fascinating hill top towns, historic buildings, great local food ad wine...you couldn't wish for more. We also had fun shopping at local markets and cooking the purchases back at the Falconer.
Touring Umbria by car is easy. Don't miss Spello, Assisi, Orveito and many others. A surprise and delight was a day trip to Castelluccio.....a must. Good train services made lunch in Rome or Florence a simple outing. Great grounds and a superb pool.
It was a privilege to meet Beatrice and share in her wonderful property. Highly recommend.

The tower was a wonderful place to stay, very comfortable and roomy with good bedrooms and a generous number of bathrooms. The rooms are decorated very sympathetically and the three bathrooms are reassuringly moderrn. Its great to have the battlements - a good place just to imagine your a feudal lord. The little kitchen is also a nice touch, though we only manged one big meal on top. The lounge is comfortable and airy. The kitchen is large and homely - nice and cool during the day as well. Overall the tower is 21st century comfort but with a wonderful medieval charecter.

Outside there is lots of space and the best pool our family has ever had on holiday (and we like a our pools). Considering how close you are to Spoleto the views are really rural. There is a hum of noise from the road in the valley, but that is the modest downside of being able to walk in 20 minutes into the centre of medieval Spoleto. You are competely unaware of the nearby properties, but a 5 minute drive takes you to a decent supermarket. A beautiful place to stay where it is so tempting just to stay at home - however you must tear yourself away from the tower on some days as the area is so lovely and un-touristy.

On top of it all Bea is a trully generous host who really looks after her guests - the care she took to make sure our car window (badly cracked on the journey) got repaired was really kind. To rent a place from someone who was so helpful and very very nice really made our holiday wonderful.

This is as close to paradise as you will ever get.
A very spacious house, restored with an eye for detail and beauty. The rooms are bright and airy, brandnew immaculately clean bathrooms and a very cosy homely sittingroom with splendid view over the property. Large garden with nice outside terrace, swimmingpool with enough easy chairs for everybody. Beatrice is an angel, coming in every day to check if everything ok and trying to fulfill even the smallest wish. The countryside around is perfect for walking and you will find more charming villages then you can visit in a lifetime ;-) We hope to be back one day !
