Torre Palombara - Dimora Storica

We spent five unforgettable days at Torre Palombara and honestly can’t recommend it highly enough. We stayed in the suite, and every moment felt special. The property is a genuine piece of history, a 15th century tower lovingly restored over the years, and Leonardo has a real gift for bringing the story of the house to life. Listening to him is part of the magic. The views over the Umbrian hills are simply breathtaking, and the setting is extraordinarily peaceful, it’s wonderfully quiet, the kind of stillness that’s hard to find. Everything is also spotlessly clean and beautifully kept. Leonardo, Katrin and their wonderful team, Natalia and Giulia, looked after us with warmth and care from start to finish. On our last evening he even prepared a barbecue and other Italian dishes for us, a perfect end to the stay. If I could rate this place higher than 10, I would. There’s truly nothing more you could ask for. If you want history, beauty, tranquillity, and heartfelt Italian hospitality all in one place, this is it.

This is the most beautiful and peaceful property and location with exceptional views. Leonardo is the best host imaginable and his team are equally hospitable. The dinner that Leonardo prepared was exceptionally nice, served on the grounds with a fantastic view across the valley. The breakfast is also fantastic although I would have liked a choice of breads. A thoroughly recommended place. I certainly hope to return.

Not being able to stay for ever.

The owner Leonardo and the staff were super friendly and caring. Leonardo went out of his way to make reservations for us at the restaurants around and give us suggestions which was super helpful . They were proactive but also gave us space to enjoy our vacation. Shout out to Natalia, super nice and caring. The property is thoughtfully renovated and brings together contemporary conveniences and historical context. One example is the rooms being renovated to historical accuracy while also having modern amenities like an espresso machine and high water pressure in the bathroom. We had access to very interesting towns while also were separated by a few minutes by car. Was quiet and peaceful. Highly recommend.

I can't really think of anything. Everything was perfect.

Leonardo and his partner were exceptional hosts. We felt so welcomed and at home as soon as we arrived. The hotel has been curated beautifully. We loved the pool area and enjoying the sunset from the terrace with a glass of wine. We hope to come back again soon!
