Best family holiday ever.

What a hidden gem Torre Del Cielo is, this house and location are one of the best kept sectrets in Tuscany. From the moment we arrived until our leaving each of the 10 members of my family group marvelled at the landscape with the beautiful rolling hills in the backdrop of the vibrant sun flower. First there is the house itself which exudes Tuscan tradition and more wonderful vistas down the valley. Then there is the most atmospheric tower room with its private roof top balcony which was a winner in my book any day.

The gardens are very large and superbly tended to as were all our needs by Rosado, his father and his staff who have a knack of always being there if you need them yet totally unobtrusive at all other times. The private pool is just that, totally private and unsighted from anywhere else in the surrounding areas and was cleaned daily.

The lay out is also very well thought out with an outdoor gazebo on the lower levels near the house which being ideal for lunch and dinner whilst the gazebo by the pool gave respite for cool drinks during the hot afternoons

Such was the beauty of the area that when we did wrestle ourselves away it was only to take time on occassion to visit a town, cafe or restuarant recommended by Rosado with both local eateriers in Monterchi (3km) living up to their billing very well indeed.

This was not my first trip to Tuscany but it was by a long way my best and I would recommend the Torre Del Cielo to anyone looking for a genuine taste of Tuscany.

Cannot say enough other than to thank Rosado once more for a memorable stay that will take a lot to beat it.
