Events at Torre di Moravola Umbria, Italy

Overlooking magnificent views of the Carpini Valley and the red tiled roofs of Umbrian villages in the distance, this one thousand year old watchtower complex is nestled into over six hectares of hillside oak forests, olive groves and orchards with stunning 360 degree views of countryside largely unchanged since medieval times.
Originally built to protect the neighboring hilltop town of Montone and once inhabited by knights, the structures were rescued from ruin by architect Christopher Chong and his designer wife Seonaid Mackenzie. Following years of painstaking restoration, the property was transformed into a unique boutique hotel that reinterprets history for the modern age. A stunningly romantic and unique location, this property is perfectly designed for lavish weddings and events.
Shoring up the crumbling tower with concrete, steel and stone, the exteriors remain as they have for centuries, while the interiors have undergone an inspired modern renaissance with glass and travertine stone floors, soft neutrals and elegantly conceived additions and materials that mimic the tone and spirit of the ancient structure. The towering silhouette soars to double heights with stairs leading up to communal living spaces and an atrium and includes seven strikingly modern suites arranged around the center.
Public areas are arranged on two levels and act as a pivot from the centre of the tower, easily accessible from all seven suites. Two interlinked reception rooms are on the first floor and the kitchen and dining area on the ground floor have ready access to the terraces for dining.
The sprawling gardens are arranged around four terraces with a large formal dining area and a sleek open viewing pavilion that forms an inner courtyard surrounded by herb gardens. The stone reflecting pool and terrace with sunken seating areas overlooks the olive groves and the large pool boasts spectacular picturesque views of the countryside. There is also a surprising and unexpected rooftop infinity pool with magnificent views.
Steeped in history with a vibrant new personality, this extraordinary property is a sensory delight and can serve as an unforgettable venue for weddings and events.
This property is also available for rent through Boutique-Homes.
