Tuscany Apartment
Podere Torricella is a small hamlet located on a hill
among olive groves and vineyards. The property is only 18 km from the
centre of Florence, and represents an ideal base from which to reach the
most important artistic cities of Tuscany, such as Pisa, Siena, Lucca,
San Gimignano, Volterra and Vinci.
The central tower dates back to 1200, whilst the main body - all ochre
walls and higgledy-piggledy roofs - has had more than three centuries to
acquire the grace of old age. Although it enjoys absolute seclusion,
Podere Torricella is part of an active farm which produces Chianti
wines, olive oil, grappa and honey (all of which can be purchased). Wine
tastings and visits to the cellars can be arranged on the property, and
next door to Torricella is a charming typical restaurant where local
specialities are served.
Three years of labour went into the conversion of the rambling old
farmhouse into 10 beautiful and spacious one and two-bedroom apartments.
The apartments, renovated throughout according to Tuscan tradition, have
a clean, fresh country look but are immaculate rather than
"rustic" as the attention to detail, both aesthetic and
practical , is scrupulous. Handsome ornamental "Montelupo"
plates, beamed ceilings and hand-wrought bedsteads complete the simple
but exquisite picture and modern luxury is added in the form of
satellite television and phones (outgoing calls only).
We can add on a car rental for you.
