About this villa rental
This is a unique and historic wine country villa set in the heart of one of the most famous wine countries in the world, Chianti. The Tower was built circa1085, making it nearly 1000 years young. The interior has been completely remodeled and outfitted with all of the modern amenities. Contemporary and comfortable furnishings throughout complement the ancient walls of this Tuscan villa.
Nearly every room boasts views of the mountain atop which the ruins of Montegrossi Castle are perched. Torre di Cancelli was, in fact, built to protect the highly coveted castle. A mild hike up the hill will take you inside this historic monument.
A short walk down the road leads you to the stunning Badia a Coltibuono, a former monastery that bottles its own wine and olive oil. Cooking classes, a restaurant, wine tasting, and tours are just a few of the things the abbey has to offer.
8km away, Radda in Chianti is a prized and ancient town in the area. A favorite local restaurant is Bottega da Giovannino. Be sure to say hi to Monica, the owner. She's quite the wine enthusiast and the food is excellent.
In the main house there are 5 bedrooms. 2 additional bedrooms in annex for a total of 7 bedrooms.
For those parties greater than 10 people, the annex with 2 bedrooms (max occupancy 4) will be opened. Those parties of 10 or less, will be hosted in the main house and tower only. If you desire the all 7 bedrooms and you have 10 or less guests in your party, you must make additional payment. Please inquire with owner before completing your booking.

We had a wonderful stay with family and friends at the villa! The kids absolutely loved staying in the tower! The rustic charm of the villa and surrounding area was beautiful! Really enjoyed the small towns in the area, very convenient location. We had a few small issues with the annex but it did not spoil our experience!

When we first got to the house we were disappointed as it is near the road and right next to a very large electricity pylon. However when you are in the house or garden you can’t see the pylon or road and the road noise is not very loud. The house is very nicely done and the views from the garden and terrace lovely. The kitchen could be a bit better equipped eg some Pyrex dishes, but we managed fine.
The drive up to the house is quite tight and one of us scratched our hire car. They should cut back the rosemary bush growing over the wall so there is more room to get the car through.
Unfortunately the WiFi didn’t work throughout the visit which was very inconvenient as three of us had to work part time so we spent a money on extra data. The younger members of the group didn’t have access to data at all which left them a bit annoyed. Obviously this was not the owners fault but it meant we didn’t get what we paid for. We asked for a refund to cover our costs and the loss of amenity - we really wouldn’t have come if we had known there would be no WiFi - but we haven’t received anything which is disappointing and unfair.
The management company was very good and dealt promptly with our issues.

Der ausgebaute alte Turm bietet viel Platz für Ferien in der Großfamilie oder mit befreundeten Familien. Das Haus ist sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet und gut ausgestattet, so dass wir den Aufenthalt sehr genossen haben. Vom Sitzplatz vor dem Haus genießt man den Blick auf die alte Burgruine, zu der man in ca. 30 Minuten hochsteigen kann. Der schöne Pool bietet herrliche Abkühlung nach Ausflügen nach Siena, Arezzo oder Florenz und die Boulebahn wurde bald zum vorabendlichen Ritual. Durch die Aufteilung in Haupthaus und kleines, eigenständiges Nebengebäude könnte man auch gut Großeltern oder eine weitere Familie unterbringen. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

You can feel the history as soon as you arrive at the property and then be amazed at the beautiful updates and décor which flow seamlessly with all the original characteristics of the tower. The property is incredibly maintained and sits atop a hill with panoramic views all around. All the rooms are really well appointed, all the modern conveniences you could ask for. We stayed at Torre as is was a great central point for us as we had events in Florence and Siena. Radda is only a short drive away and we had dinner across the street at Badia a Coltibuono which was great. It was a treat to stay in a such a historic home and Ken was such a great help in the planning of our trip and making our Italian holiday one of the best we have had. Looking forward to our next visit.
