Torre Almonte
8/10 on 1 reviews
About 8kms from the town of Todi, “Residence d’Epoca Torre Almonte” is an excellent departure point for visiting Umbria and its splendid art cities, such as Assisi, Perugia, Spoleto, Montefalco or Orvieto – all within an average distance of 30-40kms.
Set within a system of fortified places, and presiding over Todi in medieval times, the painstakingly renovated castle is on a slight hill and is an extraordinary observation point over the Umbrian countryside – with a 24-metre-high panoramic terrace and sun-deck for relaxation in the open air, a romantic 18th century garden with a large collection of classic roses, large swimming pool and a shaded gazebo.
The tower, consisting of the primitive part dating back to the 12th century and enlarged in the 14th century, has recently been renovated, creating elegant apartments and suites with every modern comfort and everything that constitutes a dream holiday out of its time. Intimate and comfortable, this charming hotel strikes you with its architectonic lines, which blend and amaze with its extravagant contemporary elements and touches of pure luxury.
Answering modern hospitality needs, the evocative surroundings of this historic residence still maintain today the original structural characteristics – with 14th century sources of light, terracotta flooring, wooden beams, stone fireplaces and ancient doors – blended with 6th and 7th century family furniture, designer furnishings and glamorous touches.
Also set in the green vegetation of the park is the small 18th century oratory that recent renovation has made specially welcoming for religious celebrations.
And the chef, Angelo Franchini, teacher at the Accademia del Gusto di Perugia, is available so that guests can enjoy tastings of Umbrian cuisine and, for those who are interested, organize courses in cuisine in foreign languages too.
