TORRE CHIGI

location : Tuscany - sovicille (Siena)
 
  Romantic Description:

Gemlike Torre Chigi rises at the end of a private drive which once formed part of the ancient stone road leading through the Montagnola hills to Siena within easy walking distance of the hamlet of Ancaiano. Originally constructed as a watchtower, it was converted in the 15th century into a toll house by the Chigi family, and more recently into the tiny romantic hideaway that we see today. The tower’s location just outside Siena and its many charming features - the antique bread oven in the ground floor kitchen, the pool and hot tub with stunning views of the hills, a cozy sitting room with satellite television and beamed ceilings throughout - combine to make this a matchless retreat for two. The small garden features a pretty flowering pergola and olive groves.
