La Torre

Our View

A 14th century tower, recently renovated converted with flair, this family villa in Tuscany is also a great option for a couple. It’s perfectly private, yet just a stroll from shops and restaurants in picturesque Cetona.

About The Villa

With gorgeous rural views, which get better with each flight of stairs, La Torre looks down over grassy slopes and terraces, sprinkled with trees and forming a cushion of peaceful privacy. A long flight of stone steps lead down from the villa to a lovely pool and poolside pergola, set amid lawns and screened in greenery for a sense of seclusion. But in fact, the tower house is just five hundred metres from shops, bars and trattorie in Cetona’s cobbled streets, its vine-shaded terrace furnished for al fresco dining, with the medieval Citta della Pieve framed in an enchanting backdrop. From the terrace, doors lead in to a country kitchen and delightful living room, designed with arty rusticity and bright with kilims, cushions and pictures. The Tower is on 4 levels, and there is one spacious bedroom on each of the floors above, all furnished with a touch of romance and a few iconic pieces for the design connoisseurs. The recent renovation has ensured that the property is even more comfortable and attractive - with the help of two architects, the owner has added new elegant bathrooms, closet space, a library room, a new entrance and a stone staircase. Ideal for a group of friends or for families with older children, La Torre could be booked together with an adjacent property, La Torretta, to accommodate additional guests in a fully self-contained villa for two.
