Hotel for moles

We booked this hotel looking for a little luxury at the end of our week in Italy. The pictures on the website of the Pool area with the hills in the distance attracted us.
We left after one night.
On arrival at the hotel we had to walk along underground corridors with the light turning on as we walked and noone in sight until eventually we reached a lift and this took us above ground again to the reception. Had we been directed to the front door by the signs this would have led us to the reception much more simply.
On checking in we were then led back underground through the interminable corridor and then after going through another room back into further corridors to eventually find our room. On the plus side it was a suite not booked by us with a bedroom sitting room and spacious bathroom with an amazing jacuzzi set up. On the minus side it was right on the road on the ground floor.
Then we set off in search of somewhere in Torgiano to sit and have a drink but there is nowhere it is a very sleepy unexciting town. Back to the hotel and the corridors, we changed and went for a drink before supper, thinking it would be nice to find the pool pictured on the website, up the corridors to reception and then back down them and lo and behold there was another underground corridor to go down before we emerged to find the area pictured. Lovely but it seemed unkempt the tables dirty and noone there, the pool attendant had brought us from the reception and served us drinks, the glass of wine asked for by my wife came with a half pint plastic tumbler and as a half bottle, we were told we could bring the bottle back to the dining room for dinner.
Back up the corridors to the restaurant where there were a few tables occupied, the hotel was virtually empty, it seems to be a conference hotel and so as there was no conference on had very few people staying which didn't help its attractiveness.
No complaints over the Dinner good food nice wine, formal service.
Breakfast the next day was massive, a huge buffet but again noone there to eat it, seemed a terrible waste, a simple continental style breakfast served at the table would have seemed more appropriate.
This is not in my mind a tourist hotel though when I said that they got very indignant. It is comfortable and the food is good and in the Winter the underground corridors and lack of anywhere to sit out for food and drink wouldn't matter so much, but there are many much nicer hotels around and so we returned to our previous hotel to escape turning into moles.

I landed here with a tour group and spent two nights at what I consider an average hotel -- more accurately, a bed and breakfast. I say average because it had most of the faults of European hotels: dim lighting in the rooms, lack of amenities, weird bathrooms, etc. In fact, as I read other reviews here, I can't believe we stayed at the same hotel. Maybe other reviewers had better rooms than I. I will give very high marks to the quality of the food and wine, and to the views of the Umbrian countryside. But the rooms were not comfortable and the bathroom was a large shower stall. That's right, when you took a shower the water got all over the bathroom because there was no shower curtain or shower cubicle. The whole hotel was dark and dingy and -- being an old wine cellar -- labyrinthian. And if solitude is what you want, well the town of Torgiano is in the middle of Umbrian nowhere. Thankfully, our tour took us away from this uninspiring place during the day but at night, you'd better love Italian tv, because the bedside lights are far too dim to read by. I was happy to depart.

We stayed here in early December. Torgiano was completely quiet, but the hotel was lovely. I cannot begin to describe the delicious food and wine. Tagliatelle with porcini mushrooms and black truffles.... wild boar... decadent desserts... olive oil that is so fruity and delicious... Every bite of food was an experience. Our room was quite large and lovely. The fireplace in the lobby area was cozy and we enjoyed wine and played cards! During the day, we went to Assisi. Assisi is a perfect day trip, and offered great sightseeing, more good food, and some much needed exercise climbing around Rocca Majore. I truly loved Le Tre Vaselle.

A little overdue with our review. This was our second trip to Le Tre Vasalle, the first with a tour group and this time a week on our own. It is a wonderful place - great accomodations, food, excellent and helpful staff. We were there in the beginning of October. We lucked out - daytime temperatures were in the mid-seventies (warm enough to enjoy sitting by the pool enjoying the late afternoon sun). After a day of driving to other Umbrian towns, it was nice to stroll the tiny village of Torgiano first thing in the morning or early evening. Other than the local wine museum and olive oil museum a trip to the village cemetary is quite moving. We visited on a Saturday morning when townspeople come with bouquets of flowers to place at parent/grandparent's tomb. We are already planning next year's trip and will surely stop by Le Tre for a few days.
Beautiful little hotel

I stayed here with a Tauck Tour of Italy. Great little place nestled in a small hill town. Definitely place you would want to have a car, if you are planning on exploring the region. The little town definitely gives a taste of Italian life but there is basically nothing to do - there are a couple of small restaurants and an olive oil museum, but that is it. It is a lovely place to take a stroll after a truly delicious dinner at the hotel's fine restaurant.
The pool is lovely and offers a nice view of the countryside.
I saw several rooms and all were different - some even have 2 levels, complete with loft bedroom and a small living room - nicely appointed with pleasant art and ceramic tile floors.
Definitely a little gem in the heart of Umbria!
