On the border between Umbria and Tuscany and on the banks of Lake
Trasimeno, rises the charming medieval village of Castiglione del
Lago, rich in history, traditions and culture. The hotel is situated in a renovated ancient palace on the main
street of the medieval village, in an area which opportunely
becomes a pedestrian zone in the height of the tourist season. The Hotel La Torre is a perfect picture in this magical corner.
It is a place where time seems to have stood still and ideal for a
peaceful holiday far away from chaos, as well as being good value
for money and close to the important towns and cities of Umbria
and Tuscany.
The Hotel La Torre has double rooms, double rooms for single
occupancy and triple rooms all of which offer comfort and elegance
during your holiday or romantic weekend away. The rooms are soundproofed and have been furnished with comfort
and attention to the finest detail. They have a private bathroom
with a shower, satellite TV, direct-dial telephone, mini-bar,
music, a safe, courtesy set, air conditioning and central heating.
Breakfast is served in an elegant room/bar, with products from a
bakery and cake shop within the same building, belonging to the
owners of the hotel. You can therefore awake to the wonderful aroma of freshly baked
bread and croissants.
Don't miss the chance of visiting the Palazzo Ducale only a short
distance from the hotel with its many renaissance frescoes, and
the medieval fortress which dominates all of Trasimeno and enjoys
breathtaking views. Wednesday morning you can shop at the market which is set up
around the streets of the village. Walk down from the village to
reach the shore of the lake where you can spend the day relaxing
on the beaches and the evening enjoying live entertainment in one
of the bars. At the port there is a ferry service which takes
visitors to the wonderful islands on the lake. The village offers the choice of many restaurants, with which
we have a special arrangement, where you can taste Tuscan and
Umbrian specialities.
