La Torretta has been designed by the owners as a haven
of peace and tranquillity – the perfect situation
from which to explore the many treasures Italy offers
in the surrounding area. From the cobbled streets of
the pretty hill towns of Montone and Anghiari, or the
battlefield of Tuoro (where Hannibal defeated the Roman
Army in 217), to the tomb of St. Francis of Assisi there
is a wealth of history to explore and many beautiful
sights to visit or paint. For something different, enjoy
the water sports on Lake Trasimeno. Within easy reach
by car are Sansepolcro, Perugia, Assisi, Spello, Spolletto,
Todi, the waterfalls at Narni, and the towns of Orvieto,
Montepulciano, Siena, or Florence.
Alternatively why not simply relax, enjoy the scenery,
either from the pool or the house or sit under the shade
of a large oak tree and read a book. Wake up in the
mornings to look out onto the unspoilt views and at
mealtimes, enjoy with your salads the olive oil that
is produced from the surrounding olive trees.
It is also possible to arrange for wine or olive oil
tasting. Or if you feel a little more adventurous, hire
a classic car during your stay, or have a flight in
a hot air balloon and take off from outside your front
door!
We are sorry, but this property is not suitable for
toddlers and small children.
Local weather conditions
Spring is a beautiful time of the year when all the
wild flowers, broom and acacia trees are in blossom.
The days are usually warm, whilst a wood-burning stove
is a welcome sight in the evenings. Summer is long days
with a clear blue sky and temperatures of 30+ degrees,
but cooling down in the evenings to make outdoor dining
a pleasure.
Autumn has sunny days and cool evenings. November can
be wet, whilst December again has days when the temperature
can reach 20ºC. January, February and sometimes
in March there is a possibility of the occasional snowfalls.
March and April are the start of springtime. A few
thunderstorms in the last week of April herald the start
of summer with the temperatures increasing towards July
and August.
