The Tower & The Villa

  • 10 guests

  • 5 bedrooms

  • 5 bathrooms

    +1 extra toilet

  • sq/ft

Seek an escape to the Tuscan countryside that would befit an exiled renaissance artist in this charming villa. Its historic tower annex, which dates back to the 17th century and still has its interior stone walls exposed, is perfect for star-crossed lovers. In the villa, family and friends gather for a glass of Italian wine and take in the wood-beamed ceilings, terracotta floors and original wood doors. Step outside to enjoy the magnificent panoramic views – surrounded by olive, peach, and plum trees, you’ll lose yourself in a fairy tale. We especially love the hot tub overlooking the rolling hills – perfect for a sunset soak. If you want to explore Tuscany, take a short drive to the charming village of Monterchi. Here you’ll seek out traditional workshops amongst its narrow streets, visit its imposing fortress, and gaze at the renowned Madonna del Parto fresco.
