Torre, extraordinary!!!!
We are six people who have traveled extensively in Europe over a period of
forty years. For months, we searched for a villa and a location that would
enhance our month long stay in Tuscany. We found it in Torre Del Cielo
where we had a glorious vacation during the month of September 2013.
While the photos on the web site are very representative of the property,
they cannot describe the beauty and vastness of the setting, The villa is
situated on a hill in a tiny hamlet. As you approach, you are surrounded by
thousands of acres of agricultural land. From our bedroom windows, looking
past the colorful and lush valley below, we could see the walled in medieval
town of Monterchi. The tranquility of the villa was a welcome refuge after
our hectic days of sight seeing.
The numerous amenities are well represented in the listing. What we did not
expect to find was an owner, Rosado Rosadi, who would become our guide to
'all things' Italian. Rosado cares for his property daily and keeps it in
immaculate condition. Upon our arrival, not only did he and his wife provide
us with a beautiful welcome dinner, he proudly related, to us the history
of the villa and his family's presence in the area, which dates back to the
12th century. Rosado is a master tour guide! Many times he would arrange
lunches and dinners for us as we day tripped away from the villa. He was
reachable at any time by cell phone, text, or email. Rosado was our guardian
and has become a trusted friend.
On several occasions, Rosado would leave us crates of freshly picked
vegetables and tomatoes from his garden. Our final night at the villa was
celebrated with Rosado and his father(as chef), at a wonderful "family" dinner.
The next morning, as we reluctantly packed our minivan for our trip to the
airport in Florence, Rosado, his mother, and his father appeared to say
goodbye to us. Unquestionably, this wonderful family helped to make our vacation "an experience of a lifetime."
We booked Torre Del Cielo over a year in advance. During that period, we
had so many questions, and Rosado responed to each one in a very timely
fashon.. Our emails became a daily occurrence as departure day approached.
There is NO OTHER place I would think of staying in Tuscany. Torre del
Cielo is situated very close to wonderful Umbria, and, of course, to all of
Tuscany.
