"It’s hard to put into words how wonderful our time was at Torre di Sopra. We were a family of 11, ages 8-75. I would do it again in a heartbeat. Everything was amazing. "

About this villa rental

Where design, history, and nature meet.


Once a medieval watchtower, Torre di Sopra was reimagined in the 1970s by architect Bruno Sacchi, blending ancient stone with modern form. The result is a rare Tuscan home of light and proportion — elegant yet relaxed, designed for gathering.

With space for up to 15 guests (12 in full comfort), it’s perfect for families or friends seeking inspiration, connection, and peace — just 20 minutes from Florence.

Inside, every room tells a story — 70s furniture, artworks, and timeless views of olive groves. The dining room seats 14, and large outdoor tables invite long dinners beneath the loggia or courtyard stars.

Outdoors, you’ll find a saltwater pool, gardens, BBQ, table tennis, table football, and badminton. Tennis and golf are close by, and the villa’s location makes an ideal base for exploring Tuscany — from Chianti and Siena to Lucca and the sea.

Inside space: 593 m² (6,393 ft²)
Outside space: 1,696 m² (18,356 ft²)

Check-in: Saturdays during high season.
Flexible arrivals may be possible at other times — please enquire.


Due to the tower’s historic architecture, we can host up to two children under six (cots provided).

Our family of 11 stayed at the villa for a week and loved our experience. We rented cars which was perfect, the area was very easy to navigate. Jane and Tom were extremely helpful with anything we needed. We enjoyed the property each day and loved exploring the area. We would definitely return!

The pictures don’t do the property justice—it’s absolutely stunning, from the pool and garden surrounding it, to the historic wall frescos and unique layout inside the watch tower. We comfortably slept 10 adults and 2 kids, with plenty of space for all. The side casita was perfect for the family that was with our group, giving them and the kids a little privacy while still being part of the larger property. The property owners were incredibly accommodating, hospitable and responsive. To make our trip extra special they connected us with a private driver for a wine tour and day trip to Lucca, made dinner reservations for our first and second night there, and helped to coordinate a private chef to prepare dinner at the property on our last night for what ended up being the perfect cap to an amazing stay. They were quick to respond to all of my questions and made planning the details of the trip easy. The location was great—an easy 20-30 minute cab ride from Florence and central for day trips to other towns and wineries. I’d recommend a car for quick trips into town. There is a market that’s easy to access by car (less than 10 minutes away) along with shops and restaurants. Highly recommend a stay to anyone looking for a relaxing vacation at a unique Tuscan property. While there’s lots to see in the area, make sure to save a few days for relaxing by the pool. The grounds and the garden are stunning.
