Perfect getaway in the heart of Tuscany

Our family had a wonderful stay at Torre di Sopra. Everything from making reservations to checking out was flawless. Property owners are courteous, supportive, and a pleasure to deal with. Torre di Sopra is wonderful and spacious to fit comfortably a large family of 15 people. I also really appreciated the attention to detail. Everything is very well thought out to meet any possible needs of guests. The location is very convenient, and the bus stop is two minutes away, which made it so easy for our large group to move around. On a good day without traffic, we could reach downtown Florence in ~30 minutes. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend Torre Di Sopra for a family gathering or an event.

A Tuscan Dream

Writing a review of this special place is difficult only because we all wish we didn’t have to leave! Our family group of 10 ranged in ages from 14 to 80 and it was a special trip for my father-in-laws 80th birthday. Communication began months before we arrived and filled us with excitement - the hosts thoughtfully recommended *everything* you might need and more from local shops and restaurants to the best ways to get in and out of Florence (a 20 min drive away). Once we all arrived, everything was wildly above and beyond! The love and passion poured into restoring and enhancing this medieval building shines through - from the structure’s design to the beautiful surrounding gardens. Our 4 teenagers lived by the pool and played rounds of table tennis and we all enjoyed reading/drinking/dining in all of the outdoor spaces. Tom and Jane were SO helpful with all of our questions! Even helping to arrange dinner reservations and recommend a local flower shop for a special bouquet for a 20th anniversary. The most beautiful memories were made and we have them to thank. Torre do Sopra is a gem.

Wonderful!

This house is just perfect. My extended family of 12 stayed, with kids ranging from 5 to teenagers, and it was exceptional. Plenty of space so we weren’t on top of each other, lots of bedrooms for kids and adults, and wonderful places to congregate and play. Fantastically stocked kitchen, multiple tables to hold us all both inside and out, and a simply gorgeous garden with a pool. The whole team was excellent with communication from reservation through to our last morning. We couldn’t have had a better stay, and I am very picky. We will absolutely return, and I was the family hero for booking such a great spot. Thank you!

Amazing!

We had the best time at Torre di Sopra. Jane and Tom were fantastic hosts and the property is absolutely beautiful. By far the most unique place we have ever stayed! We had seven adults and there was more than enough room for all of us to comfortably stay for a week. The October weather was beautiful, and we were lucky enough to still be able to enjoy the vegetables and herbs from the garden. A few days were even warm enough for a late season dip in the pool. The location is fantastic- just a quick drive into Florence for exploring. We can’t recommend staying here enough! If you do, be sure to book a cooking class at the villa. It was our favorite night of the week!

Stunning 12th century Watchtower

We visited Tuscany to celebrate my brother in law’s 70th birthday. Our group raised in age from 25-70 and all loved it. The location of the villa was ideal for trips into Florence and around Tuscany. The villa was beautiful and Tom helped us out with suggestions and assistance whenever needed. Jane organized two local restaurant reservations which were perfect and a chef that came one night to make us a delicious meal at the villa. We highly recommend staying at Torre di Sopra!
