Description
Welcome to Torre Del Cielo, a luxury 5-bedroom villa located in Tuscany.
Torre del Cielo is a luxury retreat offering breathtaking views of the Valtiberina valley and Tuscan hills. Located just 2.5 kilometers from Monterchi, the villa features a spacious swimming pool and a relaxing Jacuzzi, perfect for unwinding while soaking in the panoramic scenery.
This 17th-century villa, whose name translates to "Tower in the Sky," was originally a lookout tower built by Ferdinand II of the Medici during the 1600s to defend against enemy advances. Expanded in 1894 by Francesco Rosadi, the grandfather of the current owner, it retains its historic charm while offering modern comforts.
Recently restored to preserve its Tuscan country-house character, the villa boasts a large swimming pool (6x12 meters, 5 feet deep) surrounded by sunbeds, umbrellas, and a shaded gazebo for complete privacy. Adjacent to the pool, a lower garden level features a delightful patio with an outdoor dining table for ten, perfect for al fresco meals.
The villa's two-hectare garden is lovingly maintained and filled with olive trees, organic peach and plum trees (available for guest picking), as well as fragrant roses, lavender, and rosemary. For active guests, the property includes a small soccer field (for five players), a ping pong table, and scenic walking paths through surrounding oak woods.
Torre del Cielo is an ideal setting for a memorable vacation in the heart of the Tuscan countryside, offering the perfect blend of history, comfort, and natural beauty.
The villa spans 250 square meters. Before stepping inside, let’s take a moment to admire its original exterior design. The shape and materials used are characteristic of this region. Stone dominates the construction, complemented by the use of wood and wrought iron, particularly in the outdoor furniture. While the windows have been modernized, their style blends harmoniously with the villa’s traditional aesthetic. Inside, some of the original wooden doors have been restored to preserve their authentic style.
A key feature of any hospitality property is, of course, the bedrooms. Here, the bedrooms—with air conditioning in each—are a highlight of the rustic Tuscan style. They feature wood, terracotta tiles, and wrought iron elements. The furnishings are simple and understated, reflecting the essence of a Tuscan country home. At the same time, the bedrooms offer a perfect balance of rustic charm and modern comfort.
