Torre Alfina 556 - Services

Swimming pool of the Villa

The price of accommodation includes a welcome basket with home-made pastries, jams made with fruits from the family orchard, honey, butter, coffee and tea. Guests are also entitled to vegetables from the extensive organic vegetable garden just a few metres from the Torre Alfina 556 apartments. Upon arrival, guests are also given a small gift in hand-painted terracotta, in addition to information and a map of the area. At least once a week, a visit to the family farm is organized, where guests can feed the animals.

Swimming pool of the Casale

Both farmhouses have access to unlimited hiking and cycling trails in the nearby nature reserve; and both farm houses have large swimming pools. Torre Alfina 556 also has a shady gazebo, a wood-burning pizza oven, and a brick barbecue with a long table for picnics and large group functions. The “cellaio” (a games room carved out of the old wine cellar) provides a cool space on hot days, with tables and chairs for cards, games or wine-tasting. The property also has a ping pong table, a laundry room for guests, a small store with products from the farm, a library filled with English, Italian and German books, internet access, and a hot tub.

Distances: the two farms are equidistant (approximately five kilometres) from the village of Torre Alfina and the towns of Acquapendente and Castel Giorgio, where one may buy almost anything in local supermarkets and stores. The owner of Torre Alfina 556 has negotiated special deals for guests with many of the local establishments.
For example, guests can take advantage of discounts in local restaurants, at the local gelateria (ice cream parlour) or enoteca (wine-tasting bar). Guests may also take advantage of concessionary rates at the thermal baths in San Casciano dei Bagni, 25 minutes away; or take pottery courses at a local potter’s studio.

Courses: the farmhouse also offers residential cooking courses during the off-season, is ideally suited for yoga workshops year-round, and has conference and meeting facilities for up to 100 people.
