Immerse yourself calmly, guided by your personal Ambassador, in an enchanted and alchemical atmosphere… The entire complex of Villa della Torre is an extraordinary mix of ancient-Roman reminiscences, Christian philosophical paths and sunny Renaissance rationality… gardens around the pools with water, let yourself be fascinated by the monstrous mask fireplaces that guard the fire, enjoy the view from the Temple of Jupiter…
One of the rooms with the Grandi Camini Mascheroni by Giulio Romano will be set up and reserved only for our guests who will be able to taste the TOP line of Allegrini wines guided by an expert, in an atmosphere that is simply unique in the world. A lunch will then follow, always in a reserved room, with dishes specially made by the chefs of allegrini to perfectly match the wines offered in combination.
