THE APARTMENT
This 12th century tower apartment is the "hat" of a small castle in the hills south east of Florence, Italy.
Totally private, includes living room with DVD player and plenty old movies and books, kitchenette with eating area (table extends to seat 8) , a large bathroom with bathtub and shower.
Can include 1 or 2 bedrooms, depending on your needs: the main one with queen size bed, right in the top of the tower (very romantic!) ; the other (optional, small extra charge automatically calculated when you indicate more than 2 guests) with a double bed that can be split into 2 singles upon request. (This bedroom is same floor as bathroom).
Then, the additional 2 single sofa beds (actual bed mattresses, super comfy) in the living room. (Also same floor as bathroom).
When there are 3 guests, you can choose to specify the third guest will use one sofa bed, so no need for the extra bedroom, and SAVE!
And the tower terrace, of course, with its 360 degree view!
There are stairs and more stairs to get to the tower apartment, but that is what makes it so private, romantic and panoramic.
There is unlimited WIFI.
As mentioned on some of the reviews, this place is also child friendly: toys, books, a trunk full of dress-up clothes, safe private gardens, a magical tower, friendly cats (OPTIONAL!).
Also special CHILD FRIENDLY COOKING CLASS available. (See "additional offers" further below).
THE BUILDING
The building is inhabited by family. There is a common area with books, movies and a Baby Grand Steinway built in NYC in 1899 (still ebony and ivory keys!) accessible to guests. The estate includes one shaded and one sunny garden, and a small olive grove shared with the other families in the building.
A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY
The tower portion dates back to 1146. The rest of the building was added on in the 1400s , 1600s and 1800s. Many lives were saved during WWII by my grandfather who risked his own, by offering hiding and shelter to total strangers in this villa. We want to continue this tradition by welcoming people from all over the world. Our children are the 6th generation in this home.
We live in the building, right at your doorstep! You have all the privacy (the tower apartment is all for you, with private entrance, bathroom and kitchen etc) but we are a knock away if you need help, wish to borrow some food or kitchen utensils, or are simply in the mood to share a glass of wine or cup of tea or coffee with us, and hear the history of this place. Pajamas welcome!
We may be on vacation a few weeks in the summer, or a week end here and there. When so, our assistant Valentina who lives 5 minutes away, will make sure you have assistance in case of need.
PS: PLEASE REMEMBER TO READ THE HOUSE RULES THOROUGHLY BEFORE BOOKING. We really care about them being respected. Thanks!

Altre cose da tenere a mente

IMPORTANT: OUR CENTURY-OLD GARDEN IS NOT A TESTED PLAYGROUND! PLEASE TAKE MAXIMUM CARE WHEN USING THE SWING, ROPES ETC. THEY ARE NOT TESTED WITH PUBLIC SAFETY STANDARDS. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE
WINTER TEMPERATURES: this apartment has central heat.
However, due to the cost of gas and Italian eco-laws guidelines, we keep temperatures at 19C/68F, which is standard in Italian homes. THIS WINTER NEWS: YOU CAN TURN THE HEAT AS HIGH AS IT WILL GO: we have installed a meter that will allow you to keep track of consumption: 1€ per cubic foot of gas. Standard use is 5 CM per day. That is included in the rental fee. If you consume any more, you can pay for that at the en of your stay. Also, there are fabulous bed warmers, and we also supply extra wool sweaters and plaids, for extra cosy warmth.

THE VILLAGE:
The tower penthouse is the top of the villa which sits on top of the hills on top of the village...Great views and breeze, but only 5 minutes walk from the little shops: A community center/bar will serve caffe and aperitivi, with a great panoramic terrace
Local deli, freshly baked bread, cheeses, wine and beer, great cappuccino and top butcher of the valley all right across the street, 5 minutes walk. no proper restaurant walking distance, but you can buy all the food you need to make your own meals, and the local butcher also offers lasagne and grilled chicken and beverages, to eat there or take home. Very nice family style trattoria only 5 minutes driving from home, serving great pizza, pasta, steak and more Italian food.
. Plenty of hikes start from here.

My children are the 6th generation in this medieval villa, and when our budget doesn't allow us to travel, we like a little bit of the world to come to us. My grandfather - a personal hero of mine - hid and saved many lives (often complete strangers, and foreigners), from the fury of the Fascists and Nazis during WW2, in the many nooks and crannies of this old home; and this has created in his heirs a tradition of opening this home to strangers: we have been hosting since 2011. My husband Marco is a retired professional yachtsman, and now a talented and passionate cook; and together we have been offering wine tours and pasta making classes since 1998 with the Accidental Tourist. One of my favorite quotes is: "if you don't believe in connections, you miss them".
