Medieval Tower Lungarno perfect location for inlove

TORRE MEDIEVO LUNGARNO

The Tower near Arno bridge, is located just outside the medieval town of Pratovecchio. It was built by the Counts Guidi in the middle of the eleventh century., Is the first historic building along the ancient walls encircled the town of Pratovecchio.

Here, you can spend a lovely stay immersed in the story: after a thorough restoration was carried out, in fact, a beautiful detached house equipped with every comfort and air conditioning. The medieval tower has three floors with an area of 100 square meters terrace. The access is located on the 1st level through typical wooden stairs (33 steps) and leads into the hallway equipped with hangers and input in the master bedroom (20 sqm) with majestic walls cleverly built and restored, decorated with wooden furniture that recall the feudal period. Each wall of the friendly room there are the typical slits overlooking the Arno river and the garden. Inside the room access to a private bathroom (4 sqm), built in compliance with the architectural form of the structure and provided with toilet, bidet, shower and antique marble sink. From the hallway a staircase leads to the living room (28 sqm) with bright antique sofa, armchairs, satellite TV, dining table with four chairs, storage, and feature wooden kitchen fully equipped with fridge-freezer, dishwasher, microwave, two-burner and antique marble sink. From the living room a staircase with nine steps leads to the loft (10 sqm) with a comfortable single bed and second bathroom decorated with outdoor decorations that show the various castles of the valley and equipped with toilet, bidet and washbasin. From the loft a few steps lead to the terrace. Internet access must be booked (for a fee).

The highlight of the medieval tower is definitely the lovely terrace (35 sqm) overlooking the valley of the Casentino, the medieval castle of Poppi, Romanian and Porciano. The terrace is equipped with a Jacuzzi, sun, night lighting, roof garden, barbecue lava rock, drinking water, dining table and chairs. Here you can arrange lovely romantic dinners by candlelight under the stars.

The owners are there for those with their own specialties, on arrival, and any mid-week. The tower does not have a washing machine, but in the middle of Pratovecchio is a laundry room.

The sea is approx Adriatrico 90 minutes and the Tyrrhenian Sea ca. 120 minutes by car. And 'possible to swim in the lake which is about 1.5 km from the center of Pratovecchio or Stay in the river Arno. Excursions can be made to the zoo Poppi, to the Sanctuary of La Verna, Camaldoli Hermitage and the National Park of the Casentino Forests.

Go Back in Time and Enjoy Medieval Living at its Best!
Ok, it's not exactly medieval living... It's better! The Medieval family who built the castle that once was attached to this tower didn't have indoor plumbing. This gem has all the modern conveniences (including indoor plumbing, a kitchen, 1 1/2 bathrooms, heating and air conditioning) while being tucked away in a quaint little commune (Pratovecchio-Stia). The small town in which it is located has a grocery store and local shopping a very short walk away. Monica surprised us with homemade pasta on our first day and the restaurants in town are fantastic. The beds are comfortable and the living area makes you feel like you've gone back to a simpler time, especially when you choose to light it up with candles instead of always using the overhead lighting. That said, the "castle" can be little drafty in the colder season, so bring a sweater if you plan on booking this property even into March. Also, Pratovecchio is rural, so Tuscan sightseeing requires some travel. Monica suggested taking the train to Arezzo and renting a car from there. We arrived on a Sunday and could only find a rental agency in Florence. The trip over the mountain between Florence and Pratovecchio is spectacular but a bit daunting. Take that into consideration when planning your trip to this area.

Incredibilmente bella!
Dopo un lungo viaggio siamo stati accolti calorosamente da Monica. La nostra vita nella torre è stata per noi un viaggio nel passato - con i comfort moderni. Siamo rimasti affascinati da ciò che l'amore, l'immaginazione e l'attenzione ai dettagli della torre di Monica e della sua famiglia sono stati restaurati e arredati. Un sogno! Indimenticabile anche la piscina sul tetto! I nostri padroni di casa - Monica e la sua famiglia - erano molto cordiali e gentili. Le conversazioni sono state molto stimolanti per me: un po 'di italiano, un po' di tedesco e un po 'di più l'inglese. Torneremo !!!

Wir haben unseren runden Geburtstag im Juni für 2 Wochen hier verbracht und die einmalige Atmosphäre
„Wir haben unseren runden Geburtstag im Juni für 2 Wochen hier verbracht und die einmalige Atmosphäre des Torre hat es zum Highlight gemacht. Die Beschreibung und die Bilder passen zu 100% und die sehr netten Vermieter haben uns neben vielen nützlichen Ausflugtipps mehrmals mit selbstgemachten köstlichen regionalen Leckereien überrascht. Sehr aufmerksam war die selbst überbrachte Geburtstagstorte. Die Dachterasse mit dem Panoramablick und Whirlpool ist Wellness pur. Der Torre selbst ist wunderschön und liebevoll restauriert und eingerichtet und damit mit Wohlfühlfaktor 1 zu bewerten. Wir haben die Zeit hier sehr genossen und alles entsprach unseren Vorstellungen. Wir können den Torre mehr als nur weiterempfehlen!!! Mille Grazie Monica e Leonardo“

Perfekter Urlaub! Tolle Gastgeber!
Klasse Urlaub! Maklerin war über aus nett und hilfsbereit! Versorgte uns zwischendurch mit Lasagne und weiteren Gastgeschenken! Der Turm ist wahrhaft eine besondere Immobilie! Die Lage ist perfekt! Möglichkeiten ohne Ende zu besichtigen, ins toskanische Leben einzutauchen oder einfach nur zu wandern.... Wir waren sogar zu viert, 2 Erwachsene und zwei großen Kindern im Turm- und der Platz reichte vollkommen aus! Highlight sind dann die Abende auf der Terrasse gewesen! Ein toller Aussengrill, der SPA - einfach gigantisch! Wir können dieses Reisepaket nur empfehlen!

About the host

Hosted by MONICA

Host profile image
I am a farmer and inventor involved in numerous activities, born in 1964 that with so much effort and work in person and with the crucial support of the family has given new life to more 'buildings in the Casentino valley little known but beautiful, where you can enjoy a beautiful experience of relaxation or discovery with excursions to places rich in art, history and nature.
hello soon Leonardo, Monica and one of the sisters who help me in dealing with you I hope future guests.

Why they chose this property

To give new life to a historic residence purchased at the beginning of the late ' 90s from a middle class family of the place in a state of decay after that for 1,000 years was left uninhabited and therefore without bathrooms, electricity, heating and where I personally have worked so hard in compliance dell 'original architecture, to give to you tourists the chance to live in the past with the comforts of today.

What makes this property unique

Our Family for over 40 years, offers hospitality in the Valley of the Casentino. For us it is natural to offer you the chance to savor every moment made of landscapes, scents, good things to eat, such as pasta made with our own hands ... real moments that we hope you will remember forever!
We think that the holiday should both join the rest of the mind and body, is the discovery of new places and cultures.
The location of the TORRE MEDIEVO LUNGARNO seems born to pursue all this: with every comfort, near the historic center and 1/2 hours from the main Italian cities: Florence, Siena, Arezzo, Rome ...
What do you want? Getting to Know You?
Monica, her older sister will welcome you and all the family will make you feel at home!
