  This is a stunning and absolutely wonderful place to stay in Um

  Left on 02/08/2012 for a stay in September 2011
  
  

  Last September we had the good furtune to find La Torretta and it is top favorite of the several houses we have rented in Italy and France. The owners are so hospitable and so helpful with anthing we asked about. They have taken an old stone ruin and transformed it into a beautiful and most comfortable luxury place that is equipped with a dream kitchen and furnished with high quality linens as is everything else throughout the house. The setting is magical with a lovely pool and a spectacular covered patio overlooking the mountains of Umbria and the hillsies of silver olive trees. The loction is perfect for exploring the areas around Perugia and is close to many charming hilltop towns. To be able to return to this lovely quiet and very peaceful spot after a busy day is truly the frosting on the cake.
