About this house rental

Nestled in Spoleto, this attractive house for $180 per night is a great choice for your next break. This lovingly restored artist’s home is located in a ‘sacred grove’ on the hillside of Monteluco, which has a wooded nature preserve facing Spoleto. The property sits tranquilly amid olives groves and is within a stone’s throw of hiking paths that wind up through a forest renowned since ancient Roman times. La Torre dell'Artista includes: Living room with fireplace and spectacular views, renovated eat-in kitchen with working fireplace and windows opening out to the covered dining area for serving food outdoors. Downstairs, the principal bedroom with en-suite bath opens out onto a garden terrace with views out over Spoleto and the mountains beyond. Upstairs, the sleeping loft has a double bed with ensuite bath. There is a third bath with shower and separate laundry/utility room on the main floor beyond the kitchen. A shaded dining porch is outside the kitchen as well as a shaded car park and an extensive garden amidst the olive groves. The property has wifi throughout and a plunge pool/spa area that is located close to the house but very private, carved into the hillside within the original stone washhouse walls with a spectacular view out over the town of Spoleto and surrounding hills. The plunge pool is heatable and has jetted benches and there is a refreshing outdoor shower. Please note: the driveway is steep and the house is a tower on three levels so is unsuitable for guests with mobility issues. The tech team for this site has been unable to post some recent reviews so we list them here: 5/5 Eine einsame Idylle hoch über Spoleto Das Haus und die gesamte Anlage sind traumhaft schön. Es ist an alle Details gedacht: genügend Hand- und Küchentücher, sehr gut eingerichtete Küche, reichlich Weingläser (!) … überhaupt sind die Geräte und Austattungsgegenstände von hoher Qualität. Die im Tal gelegene Schnellstraße hat nach unserem Eindruck keine Lärmbelästigung bewirkt … es ist ruhig, aber nicht totenstill. Zur Begrüßung gab‘s sogar eine Flasche Spumante! Ein wunderschönes Haus mit toll gelegenem Whirlpool und gut beschattetem Freisitz. Jederzeit gerne wieder. 8/27/2022 at 1:34 PM 5/5 Heaven on earth What a magnificent place. Everything you want and need is available en extremely clean. We've stayed over here one week and it was a full week of pleasure. Very quite, complete and completely equiped. Also Spoleto is a quite special city. Sophie was very alert, friendly and helpfull. Normally we'll never return to a place we're we've stayed but in this case we've serious doubts. The way towards the house requires some driving skills. Our suggestion is to do the first part (from the road) backward (both to the house and from the house). This is quite simple and prevent some stress. To summarise: We recommend everybody to book this house except when we want to go. 8/8/2022 at 9:35 PM

The artists tower is an impressive place to stay. Everything was luxurious for us from the velvety plush towels to the luxurious body wash and crisp white bed linen. The kitchen is a delight to cook in and the living room is an amazing place to enjoy a good book. It was lovely each day to come home to a well appointed home with a stunning view and a nice spa to finish off the day. I would not hesitate to recommend to anybody looking at staying in Umbria. It was a great base to explore the region. A little tip rent a smaller powerful car to cope with the steep driveway and when you enter and exit the driveway head up the road toward Monteluco first and then do a turnabout 1-2km up the road. It is much easier and safer .

This residence was the most spectacular I've rented in all of Europe. Spending 8 nights in Umbria was the highlight of our 3+ week trip. Day trips to waterfalls and hillside towns was great, but returning home each day to relax, enjoy our surroundings both inside and out were the best. Hospitality was amaziing, gourmet kitchen, every amenity you could need. Thanks for sharing this home to travelers.

This house was absolutely wonderful. It was very spacious, had everything you could possibly need from olive oil to coffee tea pots pans, barbecue. There are two sizeable bedrooms-one on the mezzanine with ensuite and one downstairs with larger bathroom and doors to the outside terrace. The only downside to this property was the trickiness of the driveway. While we mastered it after a couple of days, it was quite hair rising initially and needs to be taken very slowly.

What a wonderful stay at this beautiful house. There is nothing you need while staying here. They have thought of everything! We stayed here for a week and loved exploring all the hilltop towns. The views are amazing, the beds and bedding are so comfortable! The first Italy property that has had a washer AND dryer and we really appreciated that. The driveway is more than challenging but we managed to make it up and down every day. This property is worth it in every respect.

The home is beautiful, the view overlooks the hill town of Spoleto, and they have thought of everything. The home is surrounded by forest and trees, and there are a few sitting areas where we could enjoy coffee in the morning or wine in the evening. The bed and shower were comfortable, with nice bedding and towels, and the kitchen was completely equipped. We really appreciated the washer/dryer. In short, the home felt like being home and was one of the highlights of our vacation. As others have written, the only challenge is the driveway going up to the house, as it is narrow and requires a very small car with a lot of power (and even then, might require some three-point turns.)
