About this property

The Hawk Tower is a beautiful, ancient stone tower located 1.6 miles from the medieval town of Spoleto, and surrounded by a 12 acres private park. The villa sits on a hill overlooking a beautiful valley and facing Monte Luco, the first hermitage place of St. Francis of Assisi. Surrounded by an olive grove, the plush swimming pool with salty water is there for you to swim or to get lazy lying on a deck chair. The blue of the water melts perfectly with the ivory of the stone, the green of the olives and the violet of the lavender bush, permeating the air with its relaxing fragrance.
On the top floor of the Tower there is a magnificent, furnished panoramic terrace, and the pergola by the pool offers you a chance to breakfast in the first rays of the sun or to dine under the starry sky.

Lovely location, beautiful tower house, great swimming pool - but not private.

The description and frankly pricing of this property do not fully explain that there are 3 other properies(up to another 8 guests), 19 cats and the owner living on site. I did not realise that from your website desciption which is misleading. If you are happy to share and don’t mind cats then it is simply lovely but you do not have the privacy that many of us crave. Once you realise this it is still an extremely nice house over 5 floors and has lovely views and Beatrice the owner was really lovely and so helpful. The location for exploring beautiful Umbria is great, the views stunning and the facilities are good - with an extremely nice pool. I would have given this 5/5 if I had wanted to share the property which will suit many people but we have stayed in equivalent properties in Tuscany the last 2 years with similar facilities but total privacy. My suggestion is a clearer description, look at the owners website and then there is no room for disappointment - all the top reviews have been from people having the place to themselves which makes perfect sense. We did really enjoy ourselves but sense there maybe many complaints to come if the lack of privacy and 19 cats is not understood by holidaymakers before they arrive - we don’t mind the latter and we got used to sharing the pool and so it wasn’t a problem for us. Can’t thank Beatrice enough for making us so welcome.

most relaxing holiday

When I booked the Falco I obviously read all the reviews and I must say they were spot on. Beatrice is a wonderful host who offers help where needed and freedom when desired. We had the luck that for most of the days we were there (7) no other guests where there so we enjoyed the pool for ourselves, which was very nice and not cold. The rooms were excellent and the kitchen and living room is well equiped. Another plus, at least when you don't mind cats, is that every now and then a cat stroles along for a kuddle and crashes with you on the lounge bed by the pool. Or when bbq'ing sits itself at the table outside to be served diner. We loved it and made friends with a couple of them very fast. The town of Spoleto is surprisingly interesting and a lot of narrow uphill and downhill streets are there to be discovered. Also some very nice restaurants which Beatrice is more than happy to point out. The atmosphere of the place is easy going and has a certain grandeure that makes you experience that you are the king of your own caste in the hills of Umbria. The pictures on the website do not do it just. The bathrooms for example are very pretty in reality with nice glazed tiles and a modern glass sink but on the photo's it looks a bit 70's. Which again is not what it actually is. In short we loved our stay and would go back in a hart beat, life stands still for a moment and allows you to wind down and recharge.

Castle of Our Own in a Story-book, Idyllic Setting

When my husband told me he had booked us a castle of our own on a hilltop in Italy to celebrate our 33rd anniversary, I thought he was overstating it. Until I saw the online photo. And I soon found that photo did not do the place justice. As most beauty—the camera just does not capture. We had arrived at Torre del Falco after several days of travel that been exhausting. We were caught in the recent British Airways debacle in London (beginning of our trip radically changed, luggage lost, etc.) and so by the time we got to Spoleto, I was a little emotionally and physically spent. My eyes perked up as we drove the winding road up to the flower-lined driveway and when we got to the top and arrived on the property, my eyes widened and were filled with the glorious, unimaginable view. And that was just when we met Beatrice! Beatrice met us at our car and was the loveliest of hosts. She took us to our castle, made us feel at home and did everything in her power to make sure our stay was the most special it could be. It truly was. My husband and I had the entire tower to ourselves with many rooms from which to choose, and of course, we wanted to stay in the top floor to have the pinnacle. Our view at the top was extraordinary to say the least. When something is indescribably beautiful, I like to say “It broke my eyes.” Torre del Falco broke my eyes and filled my heart. I would recommend Beatrice Panichi’s special, unforgettable place to all my friends and more. I will never forget her or her castle.
