The Best Things
COME TO THOSE WHO WAIT
In the early months of 2020, we embarked on a remarkable journey to become the custodians of the historical La Torre. Now, after four and a half years of relentless dedication, navigating through a seemingly endless stream of Italian administrative intricacies, and a meticulous focus on detail, we are thrilled to share that the restoration of our home, pool, and farm is set to complete in September 2024. Following a brief introductory phase, we are delighted to announce that reservations are now open from April 2025. This marks the culmination of an exhilarating initial chapter in our story and we eagerly anticipate welcoming guests to experience this with us in 2025, helping us write the next chapter.

On the famous Via Francigena
La Torre sulla via Francigena is a new, fully organic, adults only (+12 yo), Agriturismo (Farm Stay), with 6Ha of Vineyard, 200 Olive Trees and 18 Bee boxes producing delicious Organic Honey. La Torre is located in the heart of Tuscany.
We are just 2km outside of the thermal spa town of Gambassi, on the path of the Via Francigena as it passes through the middle of our vineyard. If you continue walking our very scenic section of the Via Francigena, you will reach the famous medieval towers of San Gimignano in just over 2 hours; or a 20 minute countryside drive. Nestled, very privately in the rolling hills, we are also less than 1 hour drive to all the major Tuscan cities: Florence, Pisa & Siena.
All 7 of Tuscany's UNESCO world heritage sites are easily accessible day trips, in addition to many other cultural or nature based activities in Tuscany, making us your perfect home away from home to explore, relax and savour a delicious glass of our own wine, in our garden with the sounds of the trickling stream, or next to the outdoor jacuzzi & pool.
