Italian Country Estates - Torre dell'Orsa, Nr Todi, Umbria

Traditional Tuscany's Country Estate pages allow you to view any of our Italian properties that have two or more self catering apartments on site as a whole. This way you can see under the 'accommodation' heading how many apartments are on a particular estate and how many people those apartments will sleep. The self catering apartments listed under the 'accommodation' heading all have clickable links to take you directly to an individual description of that accommodation along with its current availability.

These pages are especially useful for family groups who are perhaps looking for one or two apartments on a larger estate, for couples who are looking for smaller estates with only two or three properties maximum or for larger parties who are perhaps planning a reunion or wedding. 

If you are specifically looking for an villa or apartment in Tuscany, Umbria, Le Marche and Lazio and want to search by date availability or number of bedrooms etc, you can use the drop down menu in the Property Finder and select 'villas and apartments' for self catering apartments with a shared swimming pool or 'private villas' for a selection of independent villas with private pools.

Estate Overview

With its panoramic views over vineyards, olive groves, lush woodland and the gentle rolling hills, Torre dell’Orsa stands out austere and proud against the blue Umbrian skies. The watchtower of the Orsa takes its name from the family crest.

Recent restoration works have resulted in a harmonic blend of modern day fabrics and furnishings complementing the sober elegance of Torre dell’Orsa’s medieval origins and in the rooms that once lodged the Compania del Capelletto, a prestigious squad of mercenaries, eight splendid apartments have been gained. These have been elegantly furnished with a mixture of modern soft furnishings and rustic country style antiques. The apartments, all with central heating, telephone and TV, are spread throughout the building over three floors - don’t worry, there is a lift!

Next to the medieval walls, guests can enjoy the garden and a swimming pool that has been built into the terraces to the rear of the building, both of which take advantage of the stunning views. For those who enjoy sporting activities there are many possibilities in the area; from horse riding through the trekking paths, clay pigeon shooting, right through to the possibility of taking part in courses to achieve flying licences with ultralight airplanes and the numerous opportunities available in the nearby sports centres.

For those who enjoy a more cultural holiday, the towns and cities of Umbria provide plenty of opportunities for active sightseeing. Nearby Todi is a wonderful old medieval town with many attractive shops and restaurants, whilst the towns of Perugia, Assisi, Gubbio, Urbino, Arezzo, Cortona, Orvieto, Siena and Spoleto are easily accessible and within about an hours drive.

Ryanair now flies to Perugia. Ancona airport is good/efficient and the road from Ancona to Perugia quite good. Of course, you can also fly to Bologna/Forli, Florence, Pisa or Rome. They are currently constructing a new motorway that will cut 20–30 minutes of the commute between Perugia and Ancona/Adriatic Coast.
