Italia: soggiorni in torri

Ho trascorso un paio di giorni in una torre medievale che sembra uscita da un sogno antico, o forse da un’altra vita. Nessuna luce elettrica, nessun riscaldamento: solo pietra, legno, silenzio e il tempo che rallenta. È un’esperienza che chiede di spogliarsi del superfluo, di tornare a sentire il proprio respiro, il vento tra le fessure, la voce del fuoco. Ogni angolo di questa torre parla di storie passate, ma non è un museo: è viva, ti accoglie con la sua ruvida autenticità e ti costringe a guardarti dentro. Nessuna distrazione, solo l’essenziale. È un luogo perfetto per chi ha bisogno di staccare davvero e ritrovare un contatto profondo con sé stesso. Se senti il richiamo, sai già che devi andarci.

We stayed at Torre Gigliano for 3 nights in April as a break from a long drive between the UK and eastern Europe. Alessandra was a generous and friendly host, on hand but not intrusive and was flexible with our check-in time when our ferry crossing was changed significantly. The tower was the most perfect place to rest and relax for a few days with both indoor and outdoor space being truly magical. The tower is beautifully presented and we found everything impeccably clean and all facilities exactly as described. The outdoor space is equally stunning with acres of olive groves to wander within (ideal for dogs), a beautifully clean small pool and each of the four sides of the tower offering a different place to sit and relax. We planned to leave the tower and explore Ruvo and the surroundings but found the place just too difficult to leave. Thank you Alessandra.

Wow what a spectacular and magical place. The views are incredible, the pictures don’t do it justice. From the moment we came in contact with Luca, he helped us every step of the way. The Tower was high end antique features, that I have never seen before. Very tastefully done. We fell in love with the roof top and the town. The town has coffee shop and 2 very high rated restaurants. Luca had great recommendation of restaurants and winery’s. The tower was clean, fresh, and the water pressure was amazing. The shower was incredible. 😍 There is parking at the top , where you can unload your suitcases. Tv in all the rooms. Heat as well. Great internet. The beds are cumfy. I cannot express how amazing this place is. 15 minutes to the top 5 winery’s in the region. We will be back for sure.

After 6 days of packing in the sights of Rome and Florence we experienced one of the most remarkable and relaxing parts of our trip, staying at Luca’s place! Instead of continuing on to Pisa or Cinque Terra as planned we slowed down and experienced a little of dolce far niente - and did nothing but enjoy the beauty and history of Tuscany through this magical location, astounding views and gorgeous garden and pool. Luca and his family are gracious and welcoming - very special people. Even the experience of getting to the tower, with a drive through Tuscany, will delight and inspire. I hope you too are lucky enough to stay here. Cannot wait to come back.

Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt, auch wenn das Wetter herausfordern war. Erfrischend nüchterne Räume mitten in einem schönen Garten mit Benutzungsmöglichkeit der Jurte. Wunderschöne Umgebung zwischen uralten Olivenbäumen, archäologischem Umfeld und Trullis

We absolutely loved our stay! The place has the most beautiful view!! Daniela is a phenomenal host! The place is definitely harder to get to without a car, but Daniela went out of her way to tell us what bus to take, the bus schedules and made sure we got off at the right stop! She went above and beyond! It was very clean upon arrival. We had everything we needed for a week stay — enough towels & linens, pots & pans, paper towels & toilet paper. We loved how much there was to walk to around the place. There is a butcher shop across the street, at least 4 restaurants within walking distance, and a small market with everything we needed. We also walked to the beach many times. There is also a scooter rental place next door that we utilized and that was so convenient and great! It was so quiet and peaceful and all the neighbors are so nice! I just have to mention again how GREAT the views were! We would def come back!! Our only complaints were the amount of flies & how hard the bed was.

Wir hatten wirklich einen wunderschönen Aufenthalt. Alles war perfekt! Die Unterkunft ist wirklich atemberaubend. Die Lage kann nicht besser sein. Emanuele ist sehr nett, hilfsbereit und schnell zu erreichen. Auch Check in und Check out können nicht unkomplizierter verlaufen. Wir können es also jedem aus vollster Überzeugung empfehlen! Sehr gerne wieder!

Siamo stati accolti molto cordialmente da Bernardo che ci ha subito condotti nell’ alloggio proprio all’interno della Torre centrale. Suggestivo e’ dir poco. Location davvero unica con vista a 360*con Capri in “cornice”. Abbiamo altresì apprezzato la tranquillità e la discrezione del contesto. Un saluto affettuoso alle ragazze della”colazione” per la loro simpatia e disponibilità. A presto

Der Turm von Daniele ist wirklich eine besondere Unterkunft. Wir haben uns sofort zuhause gefühlt. Alles ist blitzsauber und sehr gut ausgestattet, schöne Möbel, tolle Bäder und in der Küche alles zum Kochen vorhanden (ein kleiner Vorrat an den nötigsten Dingen wie Salz, Kaffee, Zucker, Öl steht in der Küche parat). Der Pool war für uns der Hit - ebenfalls sehr sauber und eine kleine Oase, die wir sogar Ende Oktober noch gern genutzt haben. In weniger als 5 min Minuten zu Fuß erreicht man einen kleinen Laden, wo es z.B. auch Brot gibt. Daniele ist sehr freundlich und immer erreichbar. Wir können die Unterkunft zu 100% empfehlen.
