Excellent 5 /5Our party of 8 stayed at Torre del Cielo from 12 Sep to 19 Sep 2009. The wesbite photos cannot possibly show the charm of this villa. The grounds have multiple seating areas, 2 for dining & others for sitting or strolling. The landscaping is magnificent as is the inground pool. The views from the pool & gardens areas are breathtaking. The Apennine Mountains can be see in the distance as well as the small villages nearby. The night sky has so many stars unable to be seen from any urban or suburban area. Ripoli was a very small town but the nearby residents were so friendly, even with a language barrier. If you rent a car, be sure to visit the small towns, they are charming. The rooms in the villa are terrific. Each bedroom & bath with shower was comfortable & very roomy & clean. The common areas had pleanty of seating & the dining room easily accomodated all 8 of us. The kitchen has all necessary items for cooking/eating. Our host/owner (Signore Rosado Rosadi) was most helpful & very kind. He speaks English very well & is very knowledgeable about the surrounding areas. He was a gracious host. Also, the freezer had ice cube trays (for any Americans interested)---believe me, it is not easy to find them in many places! Signore Rosadi had even stocked some staple food items for our arrival. The washing machine worked fine & we hung our clothes on drying racks to dry. An ironing board & iron are also in the laundry room. We would rate this as a Five Star place to stay (the highest rating in America). We would highly recommend this villa to anyone thinking of staying in this area. It was well worth the money & the fun we had was priceless & the memories endless...
Grazie, Signore Rosadi
