Notes on accommodation
The Villa is in an ancient park of cedars and a garden of fruit trees and roses, and retains the charm and atmosphere of the time of its construction. Built in the early years of the 1900s, it was originally the residence of the owners and was named 'Villa Grazia' in honour of the owner's wife. The original room layout has not been modified, and it has become a single 'apartment' on two floors, with about 300 sq.m. (3300 sq.ft.) of floor space, and on the ground floor has a kitchen, breakfast room, large dining and sitting room, a study and a toilet, and 4 double bedrooms with bath and toilet on the first floor. 3 of the bedrooms open onto balconies.

Outside
The farm today is of about 60 hectares (150 acres), largely given over to vineyards, olive orchards (from which is obtained an excellent olive oil ‘Extra Virgin IGP Toscana’) and woods (walnut, cherry. oak, alder and maple). The villa, the old farmhouse and the other farm buildings sit on the hill overlooking the farm.
The owners are always ready to help the guests with any of their requirements and to furnish a warm and attentive welcome. Guests have the opportunity to enjoy a simple and peaceful vacation in an atmosphere full of history and tradition, nature and art, gastronomy and folklore.
Further details
The first known documents with the name ‘Valcelle’ are found about 1820 in the Land Registry of the Grand Duke Leopold.
Valcelle as it is today took shape in the last decade of the 20th century, when an intense project of agricultural rebirth and reconstruction began, never neglecting the naturalistic and visual aspects of the location. At the same time restructuring began on the ancient farmhouse and the villa, at one time the home of the owners, laying the basis for the agriturismo side of Valcelle.
This work was carried out respecting the typical aspects of Tuscan architecture of the 18th and 19th centuries, in order to maintain the original atmosphere of country life.
The name of Torrita di Siena appears in 1037, cited as 'the most faithful castle of the Republic of Siena'. Under the Sienese Republic Torrita became an important bulwark in the defence of the borders of the Republic, demonstrated still today by the town walls (whose remains are visible) with its towers and gates.
