Description
Set on a hill with views over the lush Tuscan/Umbrian countryside, TORRE DE MONALDESCHI is a new re-creation of a medieval ‘borgo’ (hamlet). This private country estate and holiday resort has won the prestigious ‘Best Development In Italy’ award. This is a new luxury ground-floor apartment with three bedrooms and two bath/shower rooms, an open plan dining (for six), living/lounge area and fully fitted, modern kitchen, complete with dish washer.
The interior design is typically rustic with terracotta flooring and a log burning fireplace, but with contemporary furnishings. Two comfy leather sofas and tasteful occasional furniture make the lounge area both attractive and welcoming and the super-comfortable beds (king sized in the master bedroom plus a double in the second bedroom and bunk beds – super for children – in the smaller third bedroom) ensure that you sleep like a log at night. There are two contemporary, fully fitted bathrooms, one with a spa bath; the other with a large shower cubicle. Quality fresh linen, towels etc are supplied for your arrival and the apartment will have been prepared and cleaned, ready to go. The apartment has air conditioning and central heating as well as a flat-panel TV and DVD and CD players.
The lounge opens onto a south-facing terrace where you can ‘catch the rays’ all day long and enjoy a candle-lit supper under the stars. The rear terrace offers some shade and incorporates a utility area with a washing machine. The borgo includes a country club, opened in June, 2011, with free access to the bar and top notch restaurant and a fabulous twin-level infinity pool, available (as are most pools in Italy) at a daily charge. A car is essential to get the best out of your holiday and there is ample parking space.

Description of amenities
This new development is situated in the countryside, approached by a newly, tarmac surfaced approach road. Conveniently located mid-way between Florence and Rome with easy motorway/rail access. The local medieval village is just ten minutes away, where you can buy superb organic produce and enjoy great food at the local restaurants. The larger towns of Fabro and Orvieto (both motorway exits) are about 20 mins drive. There are larger supermarkets here as well. Guests can`t get over how they can dine out extremely reasonably, including great local wines at under €2 per bottle.
Day trips to Florence and Rome are very popular with our guests – about an hour on the `rapido` train will get you to the heart of the cities. Exploring by car is the popular way of discovering this area and seeing the beautiful towns of Siena, Assisi, Montepulciano, Perugia etc.
All in all, a perfect place to stay to enjoy `la dolce vita` and immerse yourself in the art and culture and wonderful food and wine of this `green heart` of Italy.
Suitability
Ground Floor one level apartment. Smoking allowed outside.
Local activities
Sightseeing, walking, cycling, art and culture, food and wine paradise, all water sports on the nearby lakes, or just chilling out having a romantic candlelit meal `al fresco` under the stars on the terrace.
