Property Summary
Nestled on the eastern slope of the tuff cliff that embraces Orvieto, one of Italy's most captivating art cities, Podere Torre delle Sorgenti is a truly extraordinary vacation rental born from the meticulous restoration of a historic 16th-century dovecote tower, a project entrusted to architect Martin Stubenrauch. The result is a residence of absolute originality, where centuries of history meet refined modern design in a setting of rare natural beauty. Orvieto itself, famously described as "the tall, strange city," appears from a distance as though suspended in the sky, and from the property you need only raise your eyes to take in the imposing walls of this fascinating city with nearly three thousand years of history. Inside, the interiors are distinguished by light-coloured wooden ceilings with iron beams, parquet and fine terracotta flooring, and a striking glass staircase connecting the 2 floors. The property is surrounded by a generous yard of 1.5 hectares, thoughtfully landscaped across terraces of Etruscan origin and filled with flowering plants, colourful roses, evergreen bushes, fruit trees, and a large vegetable garden with fragrant herbs. Complimentary Wi-Fi is available throughout the property, ensuring you remain connected during your stay.

The 1.5-hectare garden extends over several terraces of Etruscan origin, following the natural slope of the land and embellished with flowering plants, colourful roses, evergreen bushes, fruit trees, and a large vegetable garden with fragrant herbs located just a few metres from the first-floor entrance. Please note that photographs of the garden were taken in spring, so the blossoming of flowers and the colour of the grass may differ at the time of your arrival.
The beautiful rectangular swimming pool, which is for the exclusive use of guests and is non-heated, occupies a terrace at a lower level than the house, approximately 25 metres away and reached via a flight of 21 steps.
