About us

"This is a beautifully restored watchtower high on a hill overlooking Florence. The road up to it is a winding, typically narrow italian rural road, and the climb seems steep, but it's well worth the view and the serene surroundings. There's lot of sunshine at the top, good for sunning by the pool, or sharing..."
