'Torre del Falco', a wonderful medieval tower in Spoleto
The Hawk Tower is a beautiful, ancient stone tower located 1.6 miles from the medieval town of Spoleto, and surrounded by a 12 acres private park. The villa sits on a hill overlooking a beautiful valley and facing Monte Luco, the first hermitage place of St. Francis of Assisi. Surrounded by an olive grove, the plush swimming pool with salty water is there for you to swim or to get lazy lying on a deck chair. The blue of the water melts perfectly with the ivory of the stone, the green of the olives and the violet of the lavender bush, permeating the air with its relaxing fragrance. On the top floor of the Tower there is a magnificent, furnished panoramic terrace, and the pergola by the pool offers you a chance to breakfast in the first rays of the sun or to dine under the starry sky.
Lovely location, beautiful tower house, great swimming pool - but not private.
The description and frankly pricing of this property do not fully explain that there are 3 other properies(up to another 8 guests), 19 cats and the owner living on site. I did not realise that from your website desciption which is misleading. If you are happy to share and donât mind cats then it is simply lovely but you do not have the privacy that many of us crave. Once you realise this it is still an extremely nice house over 5 floors and has lovely views and Beatrice the owner was really lovely and so helpful. The location for exploring beautiful Umbria is great, the views stunning and the facilities are good - with an extremely nice pool. I would have given this 5/5 if I had wanted to share the property which will suit many people but we have stayed in equivalent properties in Tuscany the last 2 years with similar facilities but total privacy. My suggestion is a clearer description, look at the owners website and then there is no room for disappointment - all the top reviews have been from people having the place to themselves which makes perfect sense. We did really enjoy ourselves but sense there maybe many complaints to come if the lack of privacy and 19 cats is not understood by holidaymakers before they arrive - we donât mind the latter and we got used to sharing the pool and so it wasnât a problem for us. Canât thank Beatrice enough for making us so welcome.
