La Torretta is a splendid antique property, located on the top of a nice hill next to the Medieval town of Cortona. Being surrounded by oak-trees and olive-trees, you can appreciate the Tuscan country side. That what makes the property unique is, on one side, it’s splendid panoramic position overlooking the entire valley, stretching from the Trasimeno Lake to Valdichiana, and on the other, the circular tower with a roof made of stone tiles built in the 16th century, which through the ages has been transformed into a windmill. The country house built in the 18th century has recovered its beautiful antique splendour thanks to the accurate restoration of the owners, who found the perfect balance between the old and the new, rendering your stay as pleasant as possible. Casale La Torretta is an unique and maybe even magic place, where you can enjoy an unforgettable and certainly splendid and relaxing holiday.
