Sovicille, Tuscany
Dating from the 11th century Torre Palazzone is a privately-owned medieval hamlet that lies at the centre of a nature preserve. The tower and its outbuildings have been beautifully restored and converted into very stylish living and dining areas and large, comfortable bedrooms, all furnished with Italian and English antiques and fitted with modern amenities. The conversion is completed by a swimming pool, a large hot tub and, just outside the courtyard, a spacious dining pergola with a barbecue. An ancient bakehouse and stone barn, both immaculately restored, offer ideal settings for candlelit meals and special events. Torre Palazzone was listed by Vogue Magazine as one of the world?s top fifty properties for rent, and the surrounding countryside has recently been classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its gorgeous landscapes and historic treasures.
