Total privacy in a safe environment monitored by the Groundskeeper. Fenced yard, high-speed internet, office. COVID-19 CLEANING and DISINFECTION PROCESSES STRICTLY FOLLOWED. The Tower itself was originally a watchtower dated to the medieval period, XIII Century, situated in a unique dominant and panoramic position, on the hills East-South East of Florence, on the North-Eastern edge of the Chianti Region (denomination DOC “Chianti Rufina”), with a stunning view over the Florentine and Chianti hills. At only 15 km from the heart of Florence and less than 2 km from a quaint village with stores, bank, post office and cafes. At 5 kilometers from the train station (free parking) from which frequent trains take you to the very heart of Florence, in ~25 minutes for 2-3 EUR. And at 10 km from Highways to Rome-Milan (therefore within easy reach of all major Tuscany world-renowned artistic and gastronomic centers), to Venice and to the Mediterranean Sea, towards Pisa, Livorno, etc.. Obviously with immediate access to the Chianti Region picturesque roads. Siena, Arezzo, Montepulciano, etc., all the Tuscan Classics are within easy reach! An extensive WELCOME DOCUMENT will be shared, full of information about the Property, on where-to-go-for-what and on how to organize your trip, airports, car rentals, currency, tours, cuisine classes, outlets, etc. This is a precious source of information, built on the basis of my observations and those of Guests like you, to avoid mishaps, confusions, misconceptions and costly unpleasant surprises! The Torre Estate is at an elevation of ~200 meters, ~600 ft. That elevation, ventilation and 3 ft thick white stone walls maintain what most find a comfortable temperature during the Summer. The Torre proper and successive additions encompass ~420 sq meters of living space (~4200 sq ft) over ~4.5 hectares (~11 acres) of land: woodland, terraced olive trees, gardens, terraces, balconies, tenuous trails and yards. Approximately 220 sq meters (~2200 sq ft) constitute the Master Quarters ("la Casa Padronale"), the only space rented, herein described and depicted in detail. It has been renovated, is in great conditions, up to code and yet features many characteristics of the traditional Tuscan architecture. It encompass the East and South additions as well as the ground floor of the Tower itself (refer to the Listing pictures). The other two entirely independent areas, the Guest Quarters ("Il Fienile") and the Tower itself ("La Torre") are not rented at present. HENCE, WE MAY EASILY ACCOMMODATE FIVE, SIX, EIGHT+ GUESTS. The Torre Estate is reached via a ~200 meters private white road from via della Torre itself, embedded in Mediterranean vegetation. Yards, stone terraces, balconies, flowers as well as herbs gardens (you are welcome to both), fruit trees, vines and 160 terraced mature olive trees complete the scenario. Approximately 4000 sq meters (~40,000 sq ft) of land around the Tower complex itself are loosely fenced. The front area of the Master Quarters themselves and the East Terraces, are independently fenced. The Guest Quarters ("il Fienile") on the West side of the Tower are further fenced and have their independent entrance, yard and terraces. Presence of pets will be considered, let's discuss it. First priority is to maintain the habitable space itself free of allergens, particles and odors so as to give due consideration to travelers with allergies, etc. Communication platform is your booking site's Inbox. You are not considering to book a hotel, you are booking a private estate. So please tell me a bit about your party and yourself at the time of booking. I will do the same in my reply. In summary, so as to living space, the complex is articulated over three independent Quarters, the Master Quarters ("la Casa Padronale"), the Guest Quarters ("il Fienile") and the Tower itself ("la Torre"). This Listing refers to the Master Quarters (~220 square meters), the one we are discussing here and the only one available for rent. For larger parties extra guests may be hosted in the Master Quarters themselves (by deploying sofa beds) or in the vacant Guest Quarters ("il Fienile"), for an extra per-diem charge. Master Quarters ("la Casa Padronale"): As we said, they encompass the entire ground floor of the Tower plus the South and East additions. They consist of two independent Suites (the Master Suite and the Guests Suite) each with a bathroom-en-suite. The Master Suite has independent entrances over the North and the East Terraces as well as an independent balcony. Living room and formal dining room with large panoramic windows and exits towards the South terrace and the greenhouse, a fireplace, a really fully equipped kitchen with gas burners, a day area with table, chairs and a sofa, the greenhouse (with wet bar, table and chairs) and terraces on the East, South and North sides of the complex complete this rather unique layout. For completeness of the record, a word about "il Fienile" and "la Torre" spaces. "il Fienile": Approximately 80 sq meters, on the ground floor of the West side addition, with an independent entrance, terrace and yard. Originally used by staff or guests, it consists of a charming living/dining room area with fireplace and library, kitchen, bathroom and large lofted bedroom. “la Torre": it is the third Quarter with independent entrance to the second floor of the tower structure itself through an exterior stairway. Over approximately 120 sq. meters, it comprises a monumental dining room with fireplace, kitchen, bedroom with bathroom-en-suite, guest bathroom at the entry level (second floor of the Tower itself). On the second level there is an open space of ~50 square meters (~500 square feet) used as study, living room, bedroom or all of the above. From this level a stairway leads to the terrace of the Tower. LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) with dedicated meter.
