La Torretta
Nestled in the rolling hills above the ancient town of Cortona and surrounded by miles of hiking trails, fields, forests, and wildlife, La Torretta boasts breathtaking panoramic views of the valley below and the mountains on the horizon.
La Torretta, or little tower, was designed by an internationally renowned architect, who reimagined the historic medieval tower, converting it into a jewel box home, encompassing two stories with one luxurious full bedroom and full bathroom on each floor. The lower floor houses an exquisite, innovative kitchen, which blends modern and antique features. Connected to the upper floor is a small stone porch that overlooks the valley below, the perfect spot to savor incredible vistas and sunsets with a glass of Tuscan wine. The home’s outdoor space boasts a centuries-old wood-burning Pizza oven, a barbecue, and a long table, perfect for al fresco dining. The property also contains a luscious seasonal vegetable garden, providing a unique farm-to-table dining experience.
Whether traveling as a couple, a family, or a group, La Torretta’s idyllic landscape, luxurious interiors, and verdant grounds are sure to make the perfect home base for your Tuscan vacation.
