In spite of its fabulously secluded hilltop position, Tortori is anything but remote. Florence can be reached by car in less than half an hour, and the fast roads to Siena, San Gimignano, Volterra and Pisa are easily accessed too. The nearest village, Montagnana, is 3km away and boasts an excellent trattoria (Il Focolare - closed in August), run by the father of Tortori's manager and just a little further is the delightful trattoria of Podere Torricella. For a wider selection of eating places, Montespertoli is 7km from here. On your way, you will pass Montegufoni Castle, a near-perfect copy of Florence's Palazzo Vecchio and one of the more curious landmarks in Tuscan history.

The five apartments are named after grape varieties used in the production of Chianti, and sleep from 2 up to 8 people. They are all independently heated and have been restored with a view to them being usable all year round. All apartments have television, a fully equipped kitchen (electric oven, fridge, hobs and extractor fans), open fireplace and living room with sofa-bed. Each apartment has a bathroom of a very high standard with either shower and/or bath.

The pool has shared use with the adjacent villa, and is 18m x 9m, 1.2-2.0m deep, open beginning May- mid October.

Colorino: 6+2 people:

The Colorino apartment is full of character, but, being spread over several floors, is not ideal for people having limited mobility. From the ground-floor portico (where you may eat al fresco) to the ground floor, where you'll find the kitchen with open fireplace and dining table, you ascend to the first floor with two spacious double bedrooms, one with four-poster bed, and an ample bathroom. Ascending again to a spacious landing area with double sofa-bed, you end up in the third bedroom (two single beds) and the adjoining bathroom with shower. Click here for photographs.
