Accommodation and Facilities for Torre in Florence Area, Tuscany, Italy

Garden

The apartments have retained a charming ancient character due to the original antique furniture. Tuscan coloured walls, terracotta floors, beautiful mirrors with gold-painted baroque frames create a charming atmosphere resonant with history and art. The estate guarantees privacy: altogether the apartments occupy an area of 900 m2; each has its own outdoor area, either in the large garden, under the old holm oaks, on a terrace or in a small inner court at the rear of the villa.

Pool

These lovely outdoor spots are separated from each other, thus guaranteeing a tranquil and very private atmosphere. The beautiful classical Tuscan garden with hand-carved stone balusters is laid out on the south side of the villa. Rosemary and lavender bushes line the path to the large and extremely elegant pool, which is spectacularly located on a plateau of English lawn and sits high above the valley. Even when swimming in the pool you can savour the enchanting view of one of the most beautiful Chianti valleys. The panoramic view is magnificent, maybe even unsurpassable. And to add to your pleasure, the park and the pool are romantically lit in the evening. It may sound exaggerated but we want to say it: you can feel the surface of the globe here!

Restaurants, superb olive oil & wine

In the proximity of the villa there is a great variety of small trattorias and speciality restaurants - each night you can dine in a new place (we will provide you with tips for this region). 2 km away you can find smaller stores; a big supermarket in Certaldo is 7 km away. Villa della Torre is an active 'Azienda Agricola' and cultivates the neighbouring fields. You may stroll through the olive groves and vineyards surrounding the Villa and taste the excellent Chianti wine, olive oil and superb grappa produced by the farm.
