Italian holiday rental apartments in Tuscany, close to Florence. Farmhouse San Vincenzo a Torri
Near the Roveta woods, on the hills
of Florence, there is a little heaven. A restored hamlet, lying alongside a
mill dating to Roman times, is now home to seven apartments in one of the most
beautiful places in the Florence area.
Farmhouse San Vincenzo a Torri is situated on the hills south west of Florence
in a rural country area of enchanting beauty, surrounded by vineyards, olive
groves, fruit trees and forests. The history and scenery of the past are still
very much alive today with little villages, old farms and ancient villas standing
as testimony to times gone by.
You will find the rustic village of San Vincenzo in the centre of a farming
area of over 40 hectares. It was originally built next to a lake that no longer
exists, but which at one time provided its water to the local 16th century mill
which is still standing.
The apartments have recently been renovated with care and attention to detail
so as to preserve the antique feel and taste of old Tuscan farmhouses. The aim
was to make the apartments as comfortable for the guests as possible but to
keep the character intact by maintaining such features as the cypress wooden
beams, brick archways, old chestnut wood fireplaces and the stone steps.
Even the furnishings have been kept in style with original beds and wardrobes;
the chests of drawers in the bedrooms were built by old craftsmen in the late
19th century, as well as the kitchen tables with marble tops, cupboards and
all the various small items of furniture. For the perfect finishing touch, the
upholstery and curtains have all been chosen to reflect the taste and colours
of the Tuscan countryside.
