Romance abounds at this artistically minded retreat in Castiglione del Lago's historic centre. Housed in a 16th-century tower, its six rooms and two mini-apartments are cosy and rustically furnished with terracotta floors and colourful artworks. Best of all is the panoramic flower-filled garden on top of Castiglione's medieval walls, which commands grandstand views over the placid lake below.
Monica and her husband, Mirko, are your kind hosts. They will pick you up/drop you off for free at the train station on request.
