About this property

Living in Umbria in the ancient Castle of Morcicchia

The castle, built in the tenth century, was owned by the noble family Ritaldi. In 1078 it was donated to the Church, to which it was removed in 1241 by Frederick II. Later it was under the jurisdiction of Spoleto to become then free municipality. The castle is surrounded by olive groves, vineyards, almond and walnuts, and within the walls enclosing a garden where children can play in a safe environment.
The tower is equipped with a large living room with fireplace, a dining table with six seats, a large sofa and two armchairs. The living room communicates with a bathroom and a fully equipped modern kitchen (fridge, four burners) which opens onto a small private garden. From the living room a staircase leads to the first floor where two bedrooms with double beds and a bathroom with shower. One of the rooms opens onto a terrace.
The tower ends with a second terrace which overlooks the entire valley of Spoleto and you can see the Fortress of Albornoz that rises above the town. The tower is also equipped with a non-space underground room where the original tank of the Castle.

Authentique et médiéval !
Un grand logement, spacieux, avec des terrasses, dans la tour d'un château du Xem siecle. Parfaitement équipé, literie très confortable, décoré avec goût et justesse, une vue imprenable sur les collines et les vallées de l'Ombrie. Parfait pour une retraite au calme et en pleine nature, au milieu des oliviers, des figuiers, des noyers, des amandiers, pour retrouver de la sérénité. C'est apaisant, magnifique. UN LIEU UNIQUE, que nous recommandons vivement.

Droomplekje
Voor wie zonder televisie en WiFi kan en een vrij slechte overharde weg naar het kasteel op de koop toe neemt, krijgt hier een sprookje als beloning. Wat een adembenemend uitzicht: een prachtig dal, bossen, heuvels, Umbrische dorpjes. Een rustige omgeving. Prettig contact met de eigenaar. Veel ruimte. Wat een ervaring!

Una preziosa scoperta
Il luogo è assolutamente incantevole e inusuale. Anche se non facilissimo da raggiungere, e dotato dei servizi di base necessari; la disponibilità dell'host è stata ottima. A Ferragosto, nonostante la località isolata, non aspettatevi quiete assoluta. Ma soggiornare nella torre di un piccolo, antico castello e godere di un panorama così è un'esperienza talmente rara e affascinante che sarà impossibile dimenticarla.

Eine traumhafte Woche auf der Burg
Begeistert nahmen wir die Ferienwohnung in Augenschein. Alles da, was man braucht und viel Platz. Drei Terrassen zum draußen sitzen! Je nach Tageszeit hatte man verschiedene Schattenplätze. Das Schlafzimmer war mit einer Klimaanlage ausgerüstet. Bei den Temperaturen im August einfach wunderbar. Die Aussicht sucht ihresgleichen. Wir konnten uns nicht satt sehen. Die Zufahrtsstraße war etwas abenteuerlich, aber uns hat sie nicht abgeschreckt. Schöner Ausgangspunkt für die Erkundung der alten, umbrischen Städte.
