Terrace at Le Tre Vaselle
Le Tre Vaselle Torgiano
The Tre Vaselle occupies a building dating from the 17th Century in the heart of the historic hill�top town of Torgiano , famous today for its wine production . The hotel has the appearance and feel of an old Umbrian village house , with thick stone walls , wooden beams , terracotta floors and stone fireplaces . The furnishings complement the architecture of the original house , but mixed with antique Umbrian furniture are comfortable armchairs and sofas in the lounge and bar and throughout the building are etchings , oil paintings , tapestries and prints on a viticultural theme , all painstakingly collected by the Lungarotti family who have made the local wine world�famous and who also own the Tre Vaselle . The Tre Vaselle is a 5 star hotel with 60 bedrooms and some very spacious apartments . They are simply but comfortably furnished . The hotel has a bar , large breakfast room and a gourmet restaurant , where meals are served based on the fresh produce from the Lungarotti farms , including their own label olive oils and honey and of course an extensive wine list , which includes a great choice of some of the best Lungarotti vintages .
