The Umbria region

Umbria region is ideal for people that are fascinated by landscapes and campaniles, fertile fields and picturesque woodlands, towns and villages with ancient palaces, churches and towers and castles.

The Spoleto / Poreta area

The house is situated on the edge of the historic centre of Poreta (12 kilometres from Spoleto) a small village which retains the character and charm of this region and has a 14th century castle overlooking it.
The village is found beside The road of the extra-virgin olive oil which goes from Spoleto to Assisi. All the hills on the east side of this road are characterized by olive groves, which probably date from the roman period, terraced with stone walls. The landscape is dominated by the silver green colour of these trees which rises to a brilliant green of pine woods and oaks on the higher slopes. There are numerous castles still inhabited on the tops of the hills.
Reaching the hill of Montefalco you see long rows of cultivated grapes and this is The road of the Sagrantino along which there are many small cantinas still producing the special D.O.C.G. wine. Following the rivers which flow through the nearby Valnerina, you can find the best examples of Romanesque churches in Umbria.

Guestbook for The tower of the doves

We stayed in the 'tower of the doves apartment' on this property. We were 2 couples travelling by car. The villa is situated in the small town of Poreta which we found very central to explore most areas within Umbria. The villa itself was absolutely charming with lots of character and was exactly what we had hoped for. The hosts Marco and Cinzia have gone to enormous efforts with the decor and could not have tried harder to make us feel comfortable. They were able to advise on what to see and do within the area. Every room was beautiful and clean. The kitchen was large and fully equipped (including coffee machine), something we did not find anywhere else on our trip throughout Italy. Two bedrooms, two bathrooms, lounge, kitchen/dining area and a private courtyard. Having its own washing machine with a supply of washing powder was a bonus. We can only give praise to the two young hosts (Marco e Cinzia) and would highly recommend this property.

I stayed with friends at this property last year and plan a visit this year too. The Tower is a magical place . It is old and rustic yet comfortable with all mod cons. Situated in the middle of glorious countryside with views across to Spoleto the only sounds are of the animals. To hear your very own Chanticler crowing at dawn is to be transported back to Chaucer's time (or as we are in Italy) Bocaccio's.The Tower is very spacious with a splendid sitting area full of antiques and old master paintings and very comfotable beds in both bedrooms, one of which is in the actual tower. There is a good sitting area outside for brekfast/dinner. Everything is well run by the Pauselli family. Cinzia is in overall control; her mother runs the very comprehensive shop and prepares meals for you if you like made with local produce and very reasonable too. We had 2 dinner parties for friends with everything provided by Rosaria, even th e local wine.We also had a celebratory dinner outside with the family and local residdents and frequent gifts of cappuchinos and Rosaria's latest cake. Cinzia is a mine of information about the area and provides maps and guides at a moment's notice. She makes everything run smoothly. Poreta is alittle village with a castle--a very good restaurant now and a church which wakens you on a Sunday with the oddest peal of bells. It is a very sleepy place with a very old dog invariably aslleep in the middle of the very narrow road. Nearby is the delightful town of Spoleto with a great range of restaurants and cafes and a splendid cathedral with lovely frescoes by Fra Lippi. There are many other interesting places nearby; Montefalco, todi, Spello are just 3 at random we visited. Most of all this is a place to wind down, to sit outside with a bottle of the local wine, read ,chat and enjoy La Dolce Vita. I recommend the Tower for that. It is a good size (it will take 6 comfortably) and has everything to make it a home from home and a lot that you will not find so easily.
