La Torre dell'Artista

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 olive 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 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 either two single beds or a double 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 spa that is located close to the house but in a very private area carved into the hillside within the original wash house with a spectacular view out over the town of Spoleto and surrounding hills. The hot tub is easy to operate and there is a refreshing outdoor shower: both are available May through October. Please note: the driveway is steep and the house is a tower on three levels so is unsuitable for guests with mobility issues.
