The two acre mature garden, completely at guests' disposal, is bursting with fruit trees, olives, rare conifers and numerous antiquities, including a 2000 year old Roman cistern!

The pool which nestles in the olive grove, is for our guests' exclusive use. You will never feel crowded. It has a natural Sienese stone surround and wonderful panoramic views overlooking Etruscan Arezzo and beyond to the Pratomagno mountains.

If you can tear yourself away from the beauty and calm of La Torre, then Arezzo, the setting for the Oscar-winning film 'Life is Beautiful' is just 10 minutes away. It has a cosmopolitan atmosphere of laid back chic; cafes - to watch the world go by, antique shops to browse in, street markets, designer outlets and its famous goldsmiths. Florence, Siena and Cortona are all under an hour away an.


Il Bacio is the epitome of romantic bliss for two! It used to be the chestnut drying house but is now the cutest cottage - with everything you could need. It has chestnut beams, terracotta floors and has been furnished with country antiques which enhance the romantic atmosphere. The main room, down just a couple of steps from the front door has a sitting area with fireplace, (CD player, small library), dining table, and tucked under the main staircase is an oak dresser which opens to reveal a kitchen - fridge, fan, storage, sink, worktop, fast 2 ring hob, toaster, all cooking and dining equipment, cool bag.

Arezzo is midway between the Adriatic and Mediterranean seas - so about 1 1/2 to 2 hours East or West to each respectively.
However, Lake Trasimeno, the fourth largest lake in Italy is just an hour from here, has some bathing beaches.

There are also numerous Spa resorts nearby, contact us for details.


Arezzo and La Torre are easily reached because of the area's excellent communication and transport system. The nearest airport is Florence, (1 hour), but Pisa, Forli, Bologna, Roma are all equally convenient.

The main Italian autostrada -the A1, which runs North/South from Milan to Naples is just 20 minutes drive from La Torre.

Arezzo's main line railway station is just a 10 minute drive from La Torre - However, to get the best out of Tuscany we suggest car hire is essential.

Bangoro, the nearest village is just 5 minutes drive away, it has a well-stocked shop/bar and is open every day.

Arezzo, just 10 minutes drive away has everything the 21st century traveller could possibly need - banks, buses, taxis, shops, huge supermarkets, trains, restaurants, markets, museums, churches and countless other places of interest.


La Torre is set on the boundary of a State park and from here there are many wonderful walks (some easy and some a little more demanding) in the woods, along country lanes and even to the top of Monte Lingo where you can see for around 60 miles - south to Lake Trainmen to Monte Amite beyond.

Cortona - the setting for 'Under the Tuscan Sun' the book and the film is just 40 minutes away - and it hasn't been spoilt.

Siena and Florence - each with a proud and different history are only an hour from La Torre.

The Chianti Classico wine area and the timeless Tuscan hill towns of Montecito, Montepulciano and San Gimignano are all easy drives for the perfect Tuscan day - touring and tasting! You will not be disappointed!!

St. Francis of Assisi trail - (Assisi itself is also easily reached from here in about an hour and a half), Etruscan historical sites, the birthplaces and locations of many recorded scenes of Michelangelo, Piero della Francesca and Leonardo da Vinci.

The Arezzo antiques fair held on the first Sunday of every month and the Saturday before. The Giostra del Saracino, a medieval re-enactment, with hundreds of costumed participants, held in June and September - similar to the Siena Palio but with Jousting not horse racing.

Numerous International Music Festivals. Wine Tours. Truffle Hunting. Photographic Fair held twice a year in Arezzo.

Finally the fashion designer outlets of Prada, Gucci,D & G,
Ferragamo and Valentino and numerous others are all under an hour away by car. We'll give you the directions.

We feel privileged to have discovered and vacationed on an historic Tuscan site - your passion for La Torre is evident and thank you again for sharing a piece of your dream with us."


"Thanks for a magical stay in il Bacio. We have loved it here. Please don't change a thing!!!"


"Finally we stumbled across a place that delivered everything it promised… and more. La Torre was everything we could have asked for; quiet and serene, comfortable and homely. In a spectacular location yet located within easy distance of the best Tuscany and Umbria have to offer.
Thank you for making our first stay in Tuscany so memorable."
