A ROMANTIC ROUND TOWER WITH POOL AND STUNNING VIEWS
La Torre della Palazzina is a beautiful centuries old circular watchtower. Set in the hills of south-eastern Tuscany in its own two acres of land with pool and stunning views, it has really spectacular views over towering majestic cypress trees to the Umbrian hills on the other side of the Niccone valley. The location of La Torre della Palazzina, nestling under the battlements of an ancient castle, is the very stuff of dreams.

Siena, Florence, Pisa, and Rome are also within easy reach by car or train.

The owners of La Torre are a British couple that live in the neighbouring farmhouse and they will normally be there to welcome you on arrival. If required they can provide advice and assistance during your stay, or alternatively they can remain totally unobtrusive and discreet! They do provide a truly comprehensive house book with a mass of information on the local area which many guests have found makes their own guidebooks almost redundant. Central heating and log fires make this unique property a perfect retreat for romantic winter breaks as well as those indulgent lazy summer ones. If requested at the time of booking a meal with wine can be prepared for your first evening
