medieval watch tower and pool, near Florence, suitable for remote working

The villa is the oldest building of a medieval small hamlet and dates back to the XIII century, it was originally a watch tower, it has been recently restored keeping its original structure. The rooms are all on the first floor while the ground floor is not inhabited. The wide living room is central and has its original stone floor and fireplace, the 2 windows offer a wonderful view of the valley and from one of them you can see the lovely pool (13x7m). Both the living room and the kitchen open on a large porch ideal for sitting and dining in the open. Two of the bedrooms have double beds and one has 2 single beds, all the rooms have their original wooden beamed ceilings . Both bathrooms are modern and comfortable. A large room, provided with wireless internet and suitable for remote working is located at the ground floor, it is separate from the other rooms of the villa and it has a desk with its comfortable deskchair , a bookshelf and a long bench with pillows , this service is not included in the rental price. The villa has a private, large and fenced garden provided with outside furniture. The pool is located 250m from the villa and is shared with the guests of another holiday house of the medieval hamlet which belongs to the owner's family. In summer, after a day trip to one of the art towns of Tuscany, you will appreciate your return to Torre della Musica where the evenings are always breezy. No need of air conditioning in the house, air conditioning is not provided, but we can provide fans on request ( no extra charge).
In May and October you may need heating, comfortable central heating is not included in the rental price .

Owner's profile:
The medieval hamlet was part of a century old farm which belonged to my mother's family. The farm is now run by my nephews, they farm organic and can offer excellent extra virgin oil from our olive groves and excellent wine from their beautiful vineyards. Torre della Musica ( the villa I offer for rent) is one of the 6 houses which make up the medieval hamlet, they belong to me and to my sisters. I spend as much time as I can in a house close to Torre della Musica because the place is green and peaceful and close to Florence even if secluded.

Beautiful

Adrianna is a lovely host and the villa is beautiful with amazing views and a very well kitted out kitchen which makes food prep easy. You can drive down to contea Londa and get the train to the centre of Florence (we did it a few times). The pool area is really lovely.

Wohnen in der Burg

Alles in Allem sehr schön und sauber. Die Gastgeberin Adriana ist sehr nett. Der Pool ist ebenfalls top, dürfte aber etwas näher liegen. Da das Haus außerhalb liegt, ist ein Auto für die tägl. Besorgungen (Frühstück) erforderlich.

Old World Charm

The stone house was like stepping back into the time of castles and knights. The setting was up in the hills above the nearest town. The hostess was kind and helpful. It provides the experience of living, shopping and driving through rural Italy.

Simply great!

We stayed at torre della musica for two weeks. Adriana is a wonderful host. The house is remarkable, outside and also interior. The kitchen was the best and most complete we saw in a long while. The distance to the pool was a bit more than we anticipated, but that was not a problem. Overall, we were very happy with everything. Full recommendation!

Wunderschöne Steinvilla mit Geschichte

Bein Anreise im August 2024 wurden wir sehr nett von Adriana der Gastgeberin empfangen. Wir wurden in die Geschichte der Steinvilla aus dem 13 Jahrhundert von Adriana eingeführt. Die Villa ist sehr gut erhalten und aufwendig mit ursprünglichem Erhalt renoviert. Hier kann man Ruhe finden, mit tollen Wanderwegen. Der Pool liegt ein paar Meter weg (8 min. Fußweg) und ist ein Gemeinschaftspool, eine sehr gepflegte Anlage. Man sollte wissen, das die Straße zum Haus sehr schmal ist. Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen und sind erholt nach Hause gekommen. Wir bedanken uns bei Adriana für die Gastfreundlichkeit. Das Haus war sehr sauber und uns wurden Handtücher zur Verfügung gestellt.

Ein Urlaub zum Träumen im Torre de la Musica

Das Haus ist absolut zu empfehlen. Die Lage ist perfekt für Ruhebedürftige, man gelangt jedoch mit dem Auto auch rasch und problemlos nach Florenz und in die Umgebung. Eine Bahnststion befindet sich ebenfalls in der Nähe. Haus und Grundstück befinden sich in tadellos gepflegtem Zustand.. Adriana, die Gastgeberin, hat alles mit großer Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet und wunderbar dekoriert. Alle notwendigen technischen Geräte - insbesondere Waschnaschine und Geschirrspüler - sind vorhanden. Besonders reizvoll ist der Ausblick ins Tal. Man erreicht fußläufig den Swimming Pool des Hauses, der sich ca. fünfhundert Meter hangabwärts befindet. Auch diese Anlage ist hervorragend gepflegt und idyllisch zwischen Olivenbäumen gelegen. Adriana hat uns einen herzlichen Empfang bereitet. Wir wurden mit einer Flasche selbst gekeltertem Wein und Olivenöl aus eigener Herstellung begrüßt; überall im Haus befanden sich frische Blumen. Adriana war immer ansprechbar und hat uns viele wertvolle Tipps gegeben. Der Kontakt mit ihr war sehr freundlich. Am Ankunftstag hat sich Adriana für uns sogar um einen Tisch in einem nahegelegenen Restaurant gekümmert. Unbedingt empfehlenswert ist übrigens auch die Weinführung bei Tommaso, der ein nahe gelegenes Weingut bewirtschaftet und dessen Kontaktdaten über Adriana erfragt werden können. Unser Fazit: Ein rundum gelungener, fabelhafter Aufenthalt!

Een geweldig verblijf

We verbleven met een groepje van 6 volwassenen 10 dagen in het huisje. Het huis is erg gezellig en was een absolute meerwaarde voor onze vakantie. Het zwembad was iets verder van het huis dan wij aanvankelijk verwacht hadden. (Wandeling van ongeveer 7 minuten.) Je deelt het zwembad met een aantal andere vakantiehuisjes, maar toch was het er steeds rustig en kon ieder zijn eigen ding doen. De periode dat wij in het huis verbleven was het erg warm, het huis bleef echter vrij koel. Adriana is een heel aangename gastvrouw. We kregen een fles wijn en flesje olijfolie bij aankomst. Later verwees ze ons door naar haar neef, die een wijngaard heeft en waar we een wijnproeverij deden. Dit was erg leuk! Een echte aanrader!

Super für Familien

Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Das Haus ist wunderschön und liebevoll eingerichtet. Die Lage ist traumhaft. Abgeschieden und mit Blick über die Hügel. Adriana hat uns in Empfang genommen und alles erklärt. Auch bei Fragen stand sie uns immer zur Seite und hat ihre Hilfe angeboten. Für die Kinder war der Pool natürlich toll. Er ist groß und etwas abseits gelegen, was aber nicht weiter gestört hat. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder.

Magical property and gracious hospitality

Our stay at Adriana's gorgeous home exceeded our expectations. She is a kind, energetic, responsive host exuding Italian dolce vita not only in our interactions but also in the way she has created this magical property. There are happy flowers all over--inside and out--and the Tuscan landscape is gorgeous both near (right outside the doors and windows) and far on the surrounding hillsides. The home was perfectly neat, elegant, tastefully and traditionally decorated, well-stocked. We enjoyed sleeping with open windows which allowed us to wake to a symphony of birds each morning. The home is a very old watch tower, which provides quite an aesthetic vibe, but is also modern and comfortable in the important ways (i.e., the bathrooms and kitchen!) The pool area is a short hike down the hill and absolutely worth the walk. It's beautiful, serene, perfectly Tuscan and quite photogenic. My boys loved being in that pool and their only regret from our trip is that we spent more afternoons lounging there. I discovered a lovely hike (1-hour loop) from the property, and Adriana provided great tips for local restaurants and outings. Florence is about an hour's drive away--not too bad--although the fifteen minutes from Londa to the property is gorgeous but a narrow road that is a bit harrowing the first time but you habituate after a couple runs. Our most perfect afternoon of all our two weeks in Italy was a summer rainstorm that swept over the property. This place is the perfect combination of an elegant, classic structure plus natural elements of birds, bees, and rolling slopes. Along with Adriana's kindness and zest, this place is very special indeed. Thank you.

Off the beaten path - in a good way

This property is special. My goal in Italy was to not have everyone else’s holiday, and this place delivered. I won’t lie - I was a bit intimidated by the drive up to the house initially, but by the next day I was a pro. Didn’t spend much time in town other than shopping at the market. Easy train to Florence from the Contea-Londa station. Above all else, Adrianna is a pleasant and responsive host.

Absoluter Geheimtip!

Wir hatten eine absolut erholsame Woche im Haus von Adriana! Die Villa ist einfach wunderschön, man hat das Gefühl in einem Museum zu wohnen. Die Lage ist sehr idyllisch - man muss allerdings dazu sagen, dass das Haus ungefähr 4,5km weit entfernt vom Dorf auf einem Berg liegt. Für uns war es ideal, es ist sehr ruhig und man hört nachts nichts ausser Grillenzirpen. Der Pool ist etwa 250m weit entfernt aber gut zu Fuß erreichbar. Traumhafte Lage auch vom Pool mit weitem Blick über das grüne Tal. Adriana wir danken dir für den herzlichen Empfang, die liebevolle Blumendekoration im Haus und die schöne Zeit!

Toller Aufenthalt in der Tosakana

Wir waren Mitte August mit unseren zwei Kindern und unserem Hund in Adrianas Haus. Es liegt traumhaft schön in den Bergen und wir haben die Aussicht in die Natur sehr genossen. Den Kindern hat vor allem der große, gepflegte Garten gefallen sowie der der tolle Pool, den man in wenigen Minuten zu Fuß erreichen konnte. (Besonders angenehm für uns als Hundebesitzer war es, dass der gesamte Garten gut eingezäunt war.) Auch die Liegewiese und das Wasser waren sauber und gepflegt. Das Haus selbst war sehr charmant und liebevoll eingerichtet. Wir haben uns sehr wohl darin gefühlt! Adriana hat uns sehr freundlich begrüßt und uns alles erklärt. Sie hat sich sehr hilfsbereit um uns gekümmert und uns eine hervorragende Weinführung im Weinberg ihres Neffen organisiert. Von dem Ort Londa aus waren wir mit dem Zug in einer Stunde in Florenz, die kleinere Stadt Arrezzo haben wir in eineinhalb Stunden mit dem Auto erreicht. Am liebsten haben wir uns allerdings einfach nur in Haus, Garten und Pool entspannt... Wir hatten eine richtig tolle Zeit! Jederzeit wieder!

Geweldige plek en prachtig huis

Wandelingetje naar zwembad is leuk. We vonden het jammer dat het zwembad niet diep was. We houden van prive zwembad maar in dit geval was het gebruik door meerdere juist gezellig. De locatie is zeer ruim opgezet. Het huis is bijzonder mooi, ruim, sfeervol en prachtig. Meerdere terrassen om te zitten zo ook in de tuin. Het huis is van binnen donker dus je moet vaak licht aan hebben. Er waren erg weinig spullen van andere gasten, zoals thee, koffie etc zoals je vaak aantreft. Welkom met een fles rose van eigen makelij is erg lekker. Het dorp Londa is ver weg en het huis is via een lange slingerweg met haarspeldbochten te bereiken. Ongeveer 20 minuten kost je dat en goede stuurmanskunsten, zeker als het donker is.
