Torre del Cielo, Tuscan villa with pool, panoramic views, near golf

Superb country home with 5 bedrooms each with bathroom ensuite, large garden, large pool and panoramic views, near a golf club. Torre del Cielo - Tower of the Sky - takes its name from its outstanding position over the valley from which you can enjoy superb panoramic views. The tower dates back to medieval times when it was used as a lookout for approaching enemies. In 1894 the building was expanded to include a stone farmhouse. This work was done by the great-grandfather of the current owner. Traditional Tuscan style was maintained in the recent restoration of this property. The ceiling and floors are beautifully finished with terracotta tiles, and the ceilings have exposed wooden beams. The original wooden doors have all been refinished with antique hardware. Magnificent new swimming pool (11.5 x 5.5 m) in a cypress and olive grove with stunning views south across the valley towards the lush green Tuscan hills, from the beautifully landscaped terraces.

Accommodation and Facilities for the villa in Anghiari - Sansepolcro area, Arezzo Area, Tuscany, Italy

A Very High Standard of Accomodation

'Torre del Cielo' is a property with a very high standard of accommodation and facilities. It is managed directly by the owners. In case of any problems, the owners are close by to help. They are there to meet and greet you, show you around the property and help with any needs you have. The difference between a property managed by the owners and a property owned by someone living in another country is huge. Have you ever arrived after a long journey and found the most 'basic' of welcome packs? A half cleaned house? A semi clean pool? These are all things you won't find with us!! At Il Mulino the majority of our guests are repeat bookings. The enjoyment of your holiday is our number one priority. Stay with us to see the difference!!
