Breakfast

Mrs. Monica is a very kind person. Unfortunately, our room did not have a lake view and was structured on two floors (the bed upstairs with sailor-style stairs). Breakfast, both sweet and savory, for all tastes. When we left the property, we forgot the souvenirs at the reception and after having lunch at the restaurant, we had to return. Monica was not on the property and no one could open for us, but after contacting her, she opened the door from her cell phone. She was really kind! Highly recommended.

A delightful little corner. The rooms are tastefully furnished in every detail and equipped with all comforts. Added value given by the small balcony overlooking the external garden positioned on the tower of the walls surrounding the city with a view of the lake. The structure is inside the walls, very close to the main street. Monica, the owner, was very kind and welcoming, the breakfast is good and served with a warm and homely atmosphere. Highly recommended!

The B&B is located on the corner tower of the walls of Castiglione del Lago, in the historic center, near the "Porta Senese". The managers are very nice and make you feel at home. The breakfast is varied in both sweet and savory. The order and cleanliness are absolutely perfect. Enjoying the sunset in the garden on the Torrione is unparalleled. Highly recommended!

Monica and her husband were splendid hosts, they welcomed us with great kindness and availability. They gave us information and tips on places to see around the lake and where to eat. The room where we stayed was extremely clean and welcoming. The B&B is located in the historic center and from the garden you can enjoy a beautiful view. Castiglione del Lago is a village we did not know and it contains treasures: the visit to Palazzo Della Corgna and the Fortress was really worth it. Besides learning about the history of this family and admiring the frescoes by Pomarancio, from the fortress there is a beautiful view of the lake and the islands.

Beautiful structure in the center of the village. We stayed in the apartment complete with all comforts. Spectacular view from the little terrace overlooking Castiglione del Lago and Lake Trasimeno. Central point to visit the villages around the lake, do not miss the visit to the two islands (Maggiore and Polvese). Exceptional reception and maximum availability and courtesy from Monica, whom we thank for the valuable tourist tips.

Picturesque structure inside Il Torrione in Castiglione del Lago. Breakfast in the garden with exceptional lake view is a plus. We booked last minute and the smallest room was left. Being able to choose one of the rooms with direct access to the garden, it's worth an extended stay.

First of all, compliments go to Monica, always kind, helpful, ready to advise and attentive to everything and to put at ease. I also add her husband Mirco, equally kind and courteous. Moving on to the structure, it is in a fantastic location within the walls of the old town, with the tower's garden offering a splendid view of the lake and the landscape. Having breakfast 'is priceless'. Room with all the comforts, tastefully furnished (Monica's touch for sure) and top cleanliness. Highly recommended.

We only spent two nights, enough to review this fantastic place, right in the historic center, and a stone's throw from the lake. From the tower that overlooks the hill, you can enjoy a truly spectacular landscape, and you can do so from the splendid garden, well-maintained and colored optimally by the manager. Monica is a perfect host, always kind, attentive to details, and always available to requests, and we with a 7-year-old child had many. We will definitely come back, highly recommended.

A beautiful Bed and Breakfast located in a charming spot in Castiglione del Lago, if the idea is to come to this area do not hesitate to book this beautiful structure with a delightful internal courtyard obtained from one of the town's defensive towers. The view overlooks the lake and the sight is fabulous. The owner Monica is courteous and always available, the breakfast plentiful and fairly varied. Highly recommended!

Ho regalato il soggiorno al torrione ai miei genitori per il loro 25anniversario di matrimonio. Sono rimasti senza parole per la bellezza del posto. La signora Monica, la titolare è stata fin da subito cordiale ed attenta ad ogni richiesta. La colazione abbondante è abbondante e le stanze di una pulizia impeccabile. Promosso a pieni voti con la promessa di ritornarci al più presto sicuramente!

stayed from 03/09/2018 to 03/11/2018

The answer from the host:
Ciao Serena, è stato un piacere avere i tuoi genitori miei ospiti, spero di conoscerti e di condividere anche con te lo splendore del mio amato Borgo e del meraviglioso Lago Trasimeno. A presto, Monica.

alessandra

Un posto magico, fuori dal tempo. Il Torrione é quello che cercavamo. Bellezza unica. Centralissimo. Ospitalità splendida. Monica è una perla di donna, pronta a soddisfare le nostre richieste. Ho dato 8 alla colazione solo perché di mia spontanea volontà ho preso un caffè e niente altro. Torneremo presto!

A comfortable stay in a very good location, about as close to the 'old town' shops as you can get. The garden - where a delicious breakfast of fresh croissants, coffee, yogurt and juice is served - is definitely the best asset, having great views across Trasimeno Lake. There is friendly, personal service - including a glass of chilled prosecco on arrival. Particularly helpful for us was the lift that the proprietor gave us (free of charge) from the train station up to the B&B and back. We've stayed here twice now and would definitely return.

Ha tutto quello che vorresti trovare in un B&B, con l'aggiunta di un gestore gentleman di un'educazione e di una cortesia che raramente si incontrano. Ci ha dato delle indicazioni che si sono rivelate veramente utili e preziose. Non mancheremo di soggiornarvi alla prima occasione.

Qui trascorriamo week end fantastici, circondati da tranquillità e immersi nella natura. Le stanze sono molto accoglienti, pulite e ben arredate anche se manca la TV. Il Signor Franco ci accoglie sempre con simpatia, e spesso è a lui che chiediamo consigli su cosa vedere di insolito nella zona oppure dove mangiare. La colazione molto abbondante viene sempre servita in giardino da dove si ha un'impagabile vista sul lago Trasimeno. Questo B&B è un ottimo punto di riferimento in quanto vicinissime ci sono meravigliose città d'arte come Siena, Cortona, Assisi Perugia, Orvieto.

Una struttura che consiglio per l'accoglienza dei gestori, per la pulizia, per la bella veduta che c'è dal giardino privato in cui abbiamo consumato un'abbondante colazione. Buon rapporto qualità-prezzo. Peccato che non siamo potuti rimanere di più per motivi di lavoro.

We had a lovely stay at Il Torrione, in one of the very pleasant garden rooms. Great hosts - Karin welcomed us with a glass of chilled white wine after a long hot drive and Franco gave us maps and lots of local information. Nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was a joy in Franco's beautifully tended gardens - a real oasis with wonderful views over the lake. In a peaceful position within the old walls of the centro storico. So glad we found it and will definitely return.
