Italian holiday rentals in Tuscany - rental apartments at Il Torrino, roughly equidistant form Florence, Siena and Pisa - Montaione, close to San Gimignano.
Nestling discreetly against a steep
hillside, the three picturesque buildings that constitute IL TORRINO enjoy a
lovely outlook across a lush, densely forested valley. Converted from an 18th
century watchtower and farmhouse, IL TORRINO has been very cleverly designed
and landscaped, so that each of the seven apartments has its own rather private
terrace, equipped with barbeque and screened by the wonderfully mature vegetation
of the splendid grounds.
Although the property feels delicious rural, its location in the very centre
of the triangle formed by Florence, Siena and Pisa makes it an excellent base
for those keen on immersing themselves in Renaissance art and architecture.
Closer to home, you’ll find enchanting hill towns and villages, providing a
good choice of restaurants.
The nearest, a pizzeria on the edge of Montaione, is just 1 km away, and the
centre of this village, marked by a beautiful belvedere, is just 2km. Other
good places to eat are the nearby little spa town of Gambassi Terme or, a little
further afield, the larger town of Certaldo. The stunning monastery and chapels
of San Vivaldo are just ten minute drive away, and the magnificent mediaeval
towers of San Gimignano can also be reached in no more than half an hour.
The apartments, thanks to careful restoration work, are supplied with all comforts
and furnished with antique pieces of furniture. Every apartment has its own
telephone, television set with satellite programs, gas kitchen and oven, single
heating system, towels, sheets, and american coffee machine. Some apartments
have an independent area for outdoor living.
There is a garden with garden-furniture, table-tennis, barbecue, private tennis,
laundry, gazebo and two beautiful swimming-pools (irregular shape, about 16
x 6 metres, open from 01 May to 30 October), all shared with other apartments.
Wine, oil and other local products can be bought at the reception. Pets allowed.
