CASA LA TORRE in the small Umbrian village of Macerino

Casa La Torre is a holiday home located in the historic center of the small medieval village of Macerino di Acquasparta, 700 meters above sea level. It is the ideal place to spend a relaxing period for those seeking the tranquility and originality of a small Umbrian medieval village.
The house, obtained from an old tower, has been recently restored respecting the original architecture and the peculiar characteristics of the village (exposed pink stone walls, ceilings with wooden beams, wrought iron railings, medieval windows, etc.) . It is furnished with care and in the choice of furniture and details there has been a lot of attention. It develops on various levels: on the ground floor there is the living room with fireplace and satellite TV, the kitchen equipped with everything necessary for self catering, a bathroom with tub; on the upper floor there is a bedroom with double bed, a bathroom with shower and a terrace / solarium from which you can enjoy a splendid view over the roofs of the village and the whole surrounding mountain; on the second floor there is a bedroom with a double bed and a sofa bed for an additional seat. Also in the basement there is a tavern with a large table and benches, with independent access from the outside or via an internal staircase from the living room.
In the property there is a wi-fi connection in all rooms.
Two mountain bikes are available for excursions in the surrounding countryside. It is customary to offer a homemade cake and a bottle of Umbrian wine as a welcome gift. Visits to the cellars of Montefalco can be organized for the tasting of its wines appreciated all over the world.
The small village of Macerino is 12 km from Acquasparta, 15 km from Spoleto, 30 km from Todi, 50 km from Orvieto, 50 km from Assisi, 70 km from Perugia and 100 km from Rome. You can also quickly reach many smaller towns, rich in art and history, such as: Sangemini, Narni, Amelia, Spello, Deruta, Montefalco (famous for the autochthonous wine Sagrantino). The Roman archaeological site of Carsulae (3rd century BC) can be reached in 20 minutes and the Marmore waterfall is 30 minutes away.
Macerino is immersed in the green Umbrian hills where you can take relaxing walks in contact with nature. There are three restaurants in the immediate vicinity where you can enjoy authentic Umbrian dishes. There is a swimming pool open to the public with a paid entrance (300 meters from the house).
NB: The rental price includes linen for bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchen and final cleaning; it does not include LPG gas for heating for the winter period which must be paid separately according to consumption.

Perfect stay! A+++++++++++++++++ Graziemille!
From start to finish, everything was perfect. The owner was quick to respond to any questions prior to arrival. The drive up to the hilltop village is breathtaking! Be certain to follow the owners directions for an easy drive from Aquasparta. We were greeted upon arrival by the owners who were incredibly warm and friendly. They even presented us with a beautiful pastry, olive oil from his trees and a bottle of premium of Umbrian wine. The house (tower) dates from 1000AD and even has a medieval dagger displayed that was discovered during renovations! The house is large and spacious, beautifully decorated and offers beautiful views of the mountainous countryside from the rooftop terrace. We have never stayed at a cleaner vacation rental, even the sheets were ironed. There is a lovely fireplace to enjoy on a chilly evening. The kitchen is beautifully equipped with everything you would ever need. The tiny village offers peace and tranquility. The owners were at our disposal and even came to check up and see how we were doing. It is a perfect base for exploring Umbria. We were sad to go and it was the highlight of our month in Italy. We look forward to our return! Graziemille!

Umbria mountain hideway.
Wonderful house in a beautiful medieval village up in the mountains. We stayed 9 nights and had a very relaxing experience. Excellent facilities with a large terrace offering terrific views of the area. Our host Maria was very helpful and at our disposal. There are some challenging mountain roads to come and go on but the reward of this house is worth the effort. We highly recommend staying here!

Quiet haven
There is nothing that we can find to say negative about this wonderful place. It was amazing from start to finish, the beautiful village unspoiled Italy at its best located in the quietest and most wonderful countryside. Surrounded by forests and peace and tranquillity. The views are breathtaking. The place itself is spotlessly clean everything is thought of and Well equipped. From the sun loungers on the roof Terrace where we had breakfast lunch and an early aperitif. Unfortunately the weather was a bit chilly in the evening so we retired to the comfort of the sitting room and lit the fanatic open fire which was so well vented and my husband cooked chestnuts in the ashes which was amazing. The owners Maria and Franco are so helpful and polite and take pride in the place which shows throughout the property. If you are looking for a place that gives you peace and quiet away from it all but with amenities in the house of every sortThis is the place for you. Like the people before we found thee Drive to the house a little interesting don’t take any other road then the road which the owners advise you and keep going even if you think you are on the wrong road. It’s well worth it The place is located a fantastically for visiting the local area and further afield. If you love Italy and Italian hilltop villages.This is the place for you. Like the people we found the drive a little testing don’t take any other road down the road which the owners advise you and keep going even if you think you are on the wrong road but do you mind some of the potholes. You can’t get peace and tranquillity like this without a little bit of driving I guess. The place is located fantastically for visiting the local area and further afield. We can wholeheartedly recommend you stay here if you do love peace and tranquillity and want to experience the real Italy.

A perfect getaway
Maria & Franco's lovely villa charmed us the moment we arrived. We were greeted with red begonia blooms hung in window planters and urns by the front door and then my Maria & Franco arriving with a bottle of Umbrian wine and Maria's delicious homemade blackberry pie. Their villa is beautifully restored and furnished very comfortably, and the kitchen well-equipped. The village of Macerino is quiet and somewhat remote but close enough to visit several surrounding towns - Orvieto, Spello, Todi, and many more. It's just the place to be if you want to avoid lots of tourists. We loved its charm and the views from the upstairs balcony. The convenience of a washing machine for our laundry was an added plus but most of all, Maria & Franco made our visit a memorable one.

Fabulous
We spent 11 nights in this beautiful property and enjoyed every minute. Franco and Maria were very welcoming with a bottle of wine and home made tart waiting for us on arrival. The house is spotlessly clean with everything you needed in the well stocked kitchen. We loved the terrace which was south facing and perfect for dinner and a glass of wine after a day spent sight seeing. The shower was good as was the excellent WiFi, fast and reliable and a real bonus. We would recommend taking the road from Portaria rather than Spoleto to reach the house as it was slightly shorter and not as uneven as the Spoleto road. This is an isolated hamlet which we loved, the peace and tranquility was perfect. Although it was isolated it was perfectly situated to explore the surrounding area. The restaurant in Macerino was very good, food was delicious and a set menu of 5 courses for €25. We would recommend booking to ensure a table. Carrefour in Terni was open on a Sunday 24 hours, most supermarkets close at 1pm Sundays. Conads in Acquasparta was good but we preferred Coop in Todi if we were out for the day. There is parking outside the house. I can’t recommend this property more highly, is was an absolute gem. 10/10. Thank you Franco and Maria for your hospitality.

Casa La Torre is a tranquil and relaxing retreat from a hectic world. A place of comfort and beauty
Our negotiation of the twisting and sometimes rough road to Macerino from Acquasparta was rewarded with a beautifully restored home with tasteful art and modern appointments. The home was even larger and more comfortable than anticipated and the pictures can’t do justice to the views and the ambience. Maria and Franco are as warm and welcoming in person as in their email correspondence. They ensured that we knew how to use everything in the house and Maria even greeted us with a wonderful homemade tart. Macerino itself is a peaceful hilltop village, perfect for evening strolls. The terrace became a favorite place for antipasto and wine in the evening. We had two dinners in Ristorante la Fontana in the village. The restaurant has been run for 44 years by mother and daughter. The trophies above the bar attest to their skill as chefs, but even that could not prepare us for the amazing five course meal presented with warmth and pride. Every dish was perfectly prepared and presented at the perfect temperature. The homemade pastas were superlative. I would recommend Casa La Torre and the Macerino experience to anyone seeking peace and restoration who is comfortable driving the backroads. Your efforts to reach Macerino will be well rewarded. Bravo Maria and Franco for making their piece of paradise available.

Absolutely Amazing Stay in Casa La Torre
We had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful location for three weeks in May. The town is a quite hillside, walled village that is away from the hustle of tourists but close enough to visit all of Umbria's best hillside towns. A car is required. The apartment is very well serviced with two large bedrooms and two bathrooms and is very comfortable for two couples. The terrace overlooks the hillsides and the tiled rooftops of the village. The kitchen is fully equipped with all you will need and the living space is large and comfortable with a fireplace. Its location in the main square makes it unique. Be sure to visit the resturant in the town for a special meal and experience. We would highly recommend this stay.

Truly beautiful 3-storey house in a very quiet village. Lovely views from the terrace.
We can't say enough good things about the warm welcome we received from Maria Donata and Franco! They were very responsive to all of our questions and requests. The house is beautifully furnished and the kitchen is fully equipped. There is even a swimming pool in the village (small fee)! The location is perfect for visiting Spoleto, Todi, Narni, Montefalco and other Umbrian towns. Of the two country roads into the village, we recommend the one from Spoleto: it is longer than the one from Acquasparta but it is wider. We hope you enjoy Casa La Torre as much as we did.

Very lovingly furnished house in picturesque mountain village
The two landlords are two loving elderly people who take touching care of their guests. The house is furnished with great attention to detail and hardly leaves anything to be desired. The mountain village in which the house is located is tiny but beautifully situated. If you want a quiet holiday, this is the place for you. The only downside is the 15-minute drive up the mountain on a road that is not exactly flat. However, I can recommend the house without hesitation and enjoyed my stay very much.
