Description:

RECEPTIVE STRUCTURE. Torre al Poggio is a former medieval tower set in a scenic hillside position with views over the countryside surrounding Florence, just outside the city. Part of a small historic hamlet, this unique property offers countryside charm within easy reach of the region’s cultural centres. The interior style is colourful and distinctive, with patterned floors, antiques, frescoed walls and original artworks. Spread over three floors, the villa can accommodate up to eight guests (full version) in four double bedrooms. Outdoor areas include a terracotta-paved courtyard with a barbecue and dining table, and a swimming pool in a panoramic position just in front of the tower. Footpaths through the surrounding hills make this a good choice for walkers looking to explore the Monte Morello Park and the Florentine countryside. Plese Note. The property is within a medieval hamlet bordering other inhabited houses, but the garden and swimming pool are for the exclusive use of the villa's guests.
