Renovated Drying Tower With Shared Pool And Tennis Court
Beautiful Hamlet, Rural yet Close to Amenities
Sleeps 6 (3 Bedrooms)
|
|
From airport to gin and tonic or dip in the pool, could be no more than 30 minutes away! You will leave the E45 at the Pierantonio turn off and head into the countryside, taking a quiet road used mainly by the local farmer and Italian cyclists, you will turn into the pine tree-lined drive taking you to the hamlet of Rancale which nestles into the hillside of undulating woodland. La Torre is the most easterly of these beautiful recently restored buildings dating back some 300 years and enjoys sunshine throughout the whole day. The completed renovation project is a labour of love and a home from home for visitors. There is a good sized shared swimming pool with non-slip tiled area around, sunbeds for lounging and shade provided by what used to be an animal shed. For the more active there is an all-weather tennis court (rackets available). Internally the house benefits from terracotta tiled floors throughout, bright, spacious, well-equipped rooms and many character features.

Guest comments
August 2009 - Melanie & Stephen Ottaway. We had a fab holiday, Rancale was great, a fantastic setting. The accommodation was super, very well equipped. House was clean & tidy on arrival. The a/c was essential & much appreciated with daytime temperatures over 40c on some days. This was our first trip to Italy & we would definitely visit again & recommend La Torre to our friends.
June 2011 - Natashia, Ian and Family "We had a magnificent time at La Torre. It is a very serene, calm & beautiful place which delights the senses. The basil & rosemary were so nice to smell and cook with. We had so much fun watching the Italians play their bi-annual game of boules along the road and making our little trips into Pierantonio, especially the bakery & gelataria. And thank you to you - I knew from our correspondence that you were organised and that swung it for us when we were choosing villas and we are glad
we did as we had a great time”
