Borgo Il Poeta sits in ten acres of grounds and landscaped gardens overlooking the Tiber valley. All the houses have views of fields and wooded hills. The group of houses grew up around a military tower, in 1500, built along the border between Tuscany and Umbria, on the Umbrian side. The Chapel, dedicated to Santa Lucia, dates back to 1707 and its erection completed the gradual growth of the original settlement into a true hamlet. Casa Torre is built around the original watchtower and sleeps six guests.The ground floor has a well equipped sitting room, dining room and kitchen and the outdoor private seating area is only a few steps away, in the garden.At the top of the stairs leading up from the sitting room is a lovely bedroom decorated in a restful yellow and inroom fireplace.Opposite the bedroom is a bathroom used by guests staying in the twin and double bedroom just along the corridor.At the end of the corridor and down some steps is the master bedroom with wooden floor, antique furniture and large iron double bed. This room has an en suite bathroom.Within the grounds there is a pool (6.4x13m) with views over the valley and a small gym next to "Bocce " playground
