Le Torri              

Le Torri is thought originally to be a medieval look out tower, rebuilt in the 18th century. This extremely characteristic farmhouse is now owned by the Cantini family and offers superb accommodation carefully managed by one of their sons, Gabrielle Cantini. In a welcoming office on the ground floor, guests can pick up bus timetables to Florence and details of local restaurants including where to eat unusual truffle pasta, a Tuscan delicacy.

Le Torri is situated on a country road, with excellent access to Florence (30km), San Gimignano (35km) and Siena (50km). San Quirico is the nearest village (1.5km) where there is a chemist, bank and restaurant. A grocery shop can be located 1km from Le Torri and tennis/horseriding, 3.5km.

Accommodation for four persons is generally on the first floor and for 2 persons on the ground floor. Please check when booking. Le Torri will guest up to 24 people in peak Summer months.

Exterior: Le Torri’s garden’s are superbly kept. Terracotta pots brimming with flowers can be seen everywhere. There are gazebos amid young olive groves, and tables and chairs for barbecuing/sitting.
