Description

The villa is the oldest building of a medieval small hamlet and dates back to the XIII century, it was originally a watch tower, it has been recently restored keeping its original structure. The rooms are all on the first floor while the ground floor is not inhabited. The wide living room is central and has its original stone floor and fireplace, the 2 windows offer a wonderful view of the valley and from one of them you can see the lovely pool (13x7m). Both the living room and the kitchen open on a large porch ideal for sitting and dining in the open. Two of the bedrooms have double beds and one has 2 single beds, all the rooms have their original wooden beamed ceilings . Both bathrooms are modern and comfortable. A large room, provided with wireless internet and suitable for remote working is located at the ground floor, it is separate from the other rooms of the villa and it has a desk with its comfortable deskchair , a bookshelf and a long bench with pillows , this service is not included in the rental price. The villa has a private, large and fenced garden provided with outside furniture. The pool is located 250m from the villa and is shared with the guests of another holiday house of the medieval hamlet which belongs to the owner's family. In summer, after a day trip to one of the art towns of Tuscany, you will appreciate your return to Torre della Musica where the evenings are always breezy. No need of air conditioning in the house, air conditioning is not provided, but we can provide fans on request ( no extra charge).
In May and October you may need heating, comfortable central heating is not included in the rental price .

Owner's profile:
The medieval hamlet was part of a century old farm which belonged to my mother's family. The farm is now run by my nephews, they farm organic and can offer excellent extra virgin oil from our olive groves and excellent wine from their beautiful vineyards. Torre della Musica ( the villa I offer for rent) is one of the 6 houses which make up the medieval hamlet, they belong to me and to my sisters. I spend as much time as I can in a house close to Torre della Musica because the place is green and peaceful and close to Florence even if secluded.
