The Associazione Culturale Torri Superiore was founded in 1989 as a social scheme to restructure and re-inhabit a medieval village that had been abandoned, reform and support a new local community through the creation of an Eco Village and Cultural Centre opened to visitors and tourists.
The Eco Village Torri Superiore provides accommodation in the simple but comfortable "Holiday house", ideal for individuals or groups looking for sustainability, communal and healthy living, history and nature.
The "Holiday House" has capacity for 20 people, and rooms range from double to multi with up to 4 beds. All rooms are sparingly but charmingly decorated, en-suite bathroom is available only to certain rooms; however, separate bathroom and shower facilities are amply provided for.
Heating and water are regulated by an internal system of solar panels and traditional wood burning energy, making us almost entirely self sufficient. Guests have the integrated use of a conference room, a small library, internet access and a laundry room. A buffet is available at fixed meal times and all food comes from locally sourced ingredients, produced in part by the village's resident community - clients are encouraged to share the large tables in the communal rooms or on the terraces outside.
The cuisine is of peasant Mediterranean origin, combining tradition with fresh locally sourced organic produce, and all leftovers are composted to fertilize the garden and vegetable garden. (Vegetarian and Vegan menus are available on request).
The Cultural center in Torri Superiore offers an impressive array of year long programs and short courses on sustainability, respect for nature and personal wellbeing as well as a variety of walks and trekking routes, ranging from gentle 1 hour walks to all day routes in various degrees of difficulty.
Here at The Cultural Organization Torri Superiore we are very proud of our project and our achievements: from conquering the harsh territory that makes growing difficult to embarking on our socially minded sustainability short courses to connect with like-minded individuals, we hope that you will share our ethos, engage in our practices, and above all, enjoy your stay.
