Torre al Poggio is a former medieval tower set in a scenic hillside position with views over the countryside surrounding Florence, just outside the city. Part of a small historic hamlet, this unique property offers countryside charm within easy reach of the region’s cultural centres. The interior style is colourful and distinctive, with patterned floors, antiques, frescoed walls and original artworks. Spread over three floors, the villa can accommodate up to eight guests (full version) in four double bedrooms. Outdoor areas include a terracotta-paved courtyard with a barbecue and dining table, and a swimming pool in a panoramic position just in front of the tower. Footpaths through the surrounding hills make this a good choice for walkers looking to explore the Monte Morello Park and the Florentine countryside. Plese Note. The property is located within a charming inhabited medieval village and is adjacent to other homes and local businesses. Guests may hear the normal sounds of village life and, at certain times of the year, may also experience local events, celebrations, or community gatherings taking place nearby.

You will NEED A CAR! We were told taxis would be available- that was not the case and had to rent a car for the week which we were not budgeted for. The house itself is super charming and for being over 800 years old, all the little quirks were appreciated. The couches are for show only, hard as a rock. There is a restaurant/venue right below the property which had a different wedding all weekend long, so prepare for noise. Two of the bedrooms only have curtains for doors, even though we asked about this before booking. So just be prepared for the quirkiness if you book here. But a car is a must.

Dear guest, thank you for taking the time to share your experience and for highlighting the charm and unique character of this historic residence. We are delighted that you appreciated the atmosphere and authenticity of a residence with over 800 years of history, where many original features and architectural details contribute to its distinctive charm. We are sorry to hear that the need to hire a car during your stay had an unexpected impact on your travel budget and overall experience. Prior to your arrival, we had informed you that taxis are available approximately 3 km from the villa at Calenzano station. We had also pointed out that the villa’s rural location generally makes a car the most convenient option for ensuring complete independence and flexibility during your stay. We understand, however, that expectations regarding transport may vary from guest to guest, and we regret any inconvenience this may have caused. We also appreciate your comments regarding the décor, the layout of certain rooms and the nearby event venue, as feedback such as yours helps future guests to better understand the character and atmosphere of this unique property. We sincerely thank you for your comments. Kind regards, Emma Villa Team
