Renato's Tower

This former medieval hamlet, brought into the 21st Century by its delightful owner, provides excellent accommodation either for one private group or split into individual properties for smaller parties, with an unusually large, heated swimming pool. Located in rural Umbria, yet only a short distance to the Tuscan border, it is the choice of those who want to explore the best art and treasures of both areas.

Part of the hamlet of Borgo San Biagio, this tower will greatly appeal to those wishing to find a wonderfully eccentric and romantic place to stay. Featured in a best-selling honeymoon guide, the tower is great for couples looking for a unique holiday setting. There is a different room on each floor of this rustic home finishing with a hot tub on your very own roof terrace complete with 360 degree views of the Umbria countryside. There is also a large heated pool on the hamlet shared exclusively between those staying in the Borgo San Biagio.

Welcome Provisions Included

A welcome gesture to offer you a drink after your journey; tea or coffee and biscuits, wine or juice and a snack. They are not designed to provide for an entire meal. Owners will also generally leave a few other items to get you going such as some salt, sugar, oil, bin bags and toilet paper.

Food Hamper

Can be arranged for an additional cost and €30 service charge payable locally.

These have been devised for guests who are arriving late or guests who recognize they may be delayed and arrive with no time to do shopping. In many parts of Italy, shops are shut on Sundays, so the aim of the Food Hampers is to provide two light meals and two breakfasts, to allow guests to go out for one meal, then do more shopping on Monday. We can adapt these hampers to take into account allergies, dislikes and dietary requirements, or according to whether there are children in the party. For a list of possible ingredients, please see the CV Travel Directory.
