Podere La Torre is a beautiful small estate just 1.5 miles south-east of the pretty village Montespertoli. The two properties we have to let here have been made up from portions of an old farmhouse and an attractive barn to sleep 2+2 people each. Both buildings have been recently restored to a very good standard. There are lovely garden areas behind from where you enjoy superb views to the surrounding hills and there is a good swimming pool (7.2m x 4.6m x depth 1.2m) for shared use. Each property has its own sitting out areas with garden tables and chairs provided for 'al fresco' dining.

The village of Montespertoli has all kinds of shops including a good supermarket, restaurants, banks and a pharmacy. You are well placed for visits to all the major towns of central Tuscany including Florence, San Gimignano, Volterra, Siena and Pisa. Tennis courts and horse riding are available in the area.

Notes: This is a lovely area for either a relaxing or touring holiday at any time, with plenty of opportunities for touring to all the major sights of Tuscany.
