Home description
Casa La Torre is a holiday house inside an old tower, on various levels, built with pink natural stones. Located in the centre of the ancient village of Macerino, at 700 meters above sea level, it is a perfect place for a period of relaxation and tranquillity in close contact with nature.
After a recent and careful restoration with respect to the original architecture, all the rooms of the house have valuable features, with stone walls in evidence, original wooden beamed ceilings, banisters in wrought iron and medieval windows.
The house is very comfortable and pleasant, the living room with an old fireplace, the large kitchen with modern appliances, the tavern with a large table, two cosy bedrooms, two bathrooms and a terrace-solarium ( 25 sq. meters ) with a breath taking view of the vast forest surrounding Macerino, where it is possible to have breakfast or dinner with candle lights and a starry skyline.
In case of a group larger than 6 people, adjacent to Casa La Torre, this owner offers additional accommodation in another home ( 6 sleeps ).

The Umbria region
Umbria, mystical and green, rich in natural beauty, in art and history, offers to the visitor many and important reasons to visit the area. With picturesque landscapes, exceptional artistic heritage, there are villages dating from the Middle Age, castles, churches and sanctuaries. Other ancient and quiet villages and archaeological sites make up the area.
From Casa La Torre it is possible to reach within a short time all the most historical and artistic sites of Umbria; Spoleto (15km), renowned through out the world for its Festival, an internationally important musical and cultural event, which runs from the second half of June to the second half of July, Assisi (45km), the heart of Christian spiritually, with the Basilica of San Francesco, Perugia (60 km), the capital of Umbria, an ancient and majestic town, and Orvieto (50 km), with the Cathedral, a masterpiece of Italian Gothic architecture. There are many minor centres, rich in art and history, for example Narni, Todi, Spello, Montefalco, Bevagna, Trevi Norcia, Cascia. In these localities you can sample foods and drinks typical of Umbria, for example truffles and the Sagrantino of Montefalco.
The archaeological Roman site of Carsulae ( third century A.C.) is only a quarter of an hour drive away. Moreover it is possible to visit some localities of incomparable beauty, for example Marmore falls (30 mins) or the plain of Castellucio di Norcia ( 1 hour and 30 mins ).
Spoleto / Macerino area
Macerino is a small and ancient village, 12 kilometres from Acquasparta and 15 from Spoleto which conserves the medieval charm with its narrow alleys. We can find historical information about Macerino dating to 1093 A.C. .
The castle was built with the particular form of extended rectangle and in every angle there was a solid tower. This fort was built for residential purposes.
It is immersed in a green vast forest where you can walk, with Macerino as part of Monti Martani Trekking route. There are two neighbourhood Restaurants where they serve authentic Umbrian food, for example truffles, pasta, meat of wild boar, cured pork meats.

Guestbook for Casa La Torre
The property has bee rented out for 3 years. We have visitors from Italy, Germany, Denmark, England, France,Finland and even Hong Kong. There are clients who frequently rent Casa La Torre.
We loved the apartment, it was very clean and luxurious. The family renting the apartment was nice, we were very pleased of their helpfulness and the marvellous cakes they gave us. The surrounding was absolutely fantastic, silent and the medieval village nice. Every instruction and the pictures of the house were all superb. You need a car, but Spoleto and other towns are within 20 minutes drive. Thank you and surely came back again. Seppo and Teija from Finland.
