Dimora Torricella Italy
Holiday Home Rental Description
Accommodating up to 34 guests in 19 luxurious bedrooms, Dimora Torricella is a truly breath-taking villa mansion in the heart of Tuscany.
Five magnificent buildings are dispersed across the historical family estate of a highly acclaimed Renaissance Italian artist. The estate is made up of the main villa, the farmhouse, the gallery, the olive press and the studio. Each building has been restored tastefully and lovingly to retain an authentic Florentine charm while adding a fresh sense of class and elegance, demonstrated by the exquisite antique furnishings in every room.
Across the estate, there are six living rooms, five dining rooms, five kitchens, two cellars, two laundry rooms, a chapel, a library and two separate annexe buildings ensuring maximum privacy. The kitchens are incredibly modern, with all the latest facilities to fulfill any culinary desires. Daily continental breakfast is provided on a complimentary basis, but a skillful local chef and full catering can be provided if desired, too.
Around each building, there are verandas, courtyards and even a great outdoor pool where you can gather to enjoy a relaxing afternoon meal or an evening glass of wine and from which you can appreciate the magnificent views of the hills, fields and wondrous sunsets.
All twenty of the luxurious bedrooms on the estate feature king-sized beds, a walk-in wardrobe and stylish marble bathroom with either an incredibly soothing rain shower or a spacious bath. The main villa, in which a noble Italian family once lived, has five double en-suite bedrooms, one of which is the panoramic master bedroom, which takes up the whole of the top floor!
There are 30 hectares of manicured lawns and perfectly maintained gardens including a lake, vineyards, woodland and olive groves, for you to explore and enjoy to your heart’s content. There are also two swimming pools, a spa and a fitness centre with a well-equipped gym, sauna, hydro-pool, Turkish bath, massage area and a specialist shower equipped for hydrotherapy, chromotherapy and aromatherapy, allowing you to feel truly relaxed and invigorated.
With plenty of private parking space, this is the perfect base from which to explore Tuscany. Florence is only 2km away and nearby there are more activities than you will ever find time for!This infamous 14th century estate is nestled in the sensational rolling hills of Florence, among farms, forests, vineyards and ancient hamlets. The calm, tranquil surroundings make it hard to believe that the beautiful Florence city centre, once the heart of the Italian Renaissance movement, is just 2km away!
Indeed, while you will feel totally at one with the natural world, enveloped in luscious forests and hills – museums, galleries, palaces and churches which hold some of the greatest artistic treasures on earth, as well as fine wine and dining experiences and designer shopping (a dream for any fashionista!), are almost within walking distance, or just a short drive away!
While the villa is perfectly located to visit Florence, Siena, another fine art city and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is just a little further afield, making it ideal for a day trip! Nearby activities include hot air ballooning, helicopter charters, scooter tours, golf, hiking, biking, paintball, horse-riding and so much more. The location is also great for a wine tasting, as a world-famous wine and olive oil producing region, celebrated by Verdi, Michelangelo (who once stayed at the property!) and many others.
For more outdoor pursuits, head to the Pratomagno mountain range or the 300-acre Natural Park near Reggello, both perfect for enjoying a little physical activity and the fresh air and tranquillity of nature.
