The 14th century, when this strip of land near Arezzo, which marked the border between the two Italies, the Lombard and the Byzantine, saw the construction of an imposing square building dominated by a mighty tower at about 570 metres above sea level.
La Torre di Vignale, with its distant military origins, still witnessed today by traces of battlements and a few embrasures, has been renovated, has regained the importance and charm of the past, standing out again majestically among dense forests of oak and chestnut trees and ready to welcome you, perfect for groups of families or friends who want a relaxing holiday in contact with nature.
The house is surrounded by a large and panoramic garden, full of flowers and equipped with a very special pergola, made in the old pigsty, with wooden table and benches and coloured cushions. At your disposal there is also a barbecue and a wood-burning oven placed not far from the pergola, a perfect corner for your dinners and barbecues with family and friends.
At the edge of the garden, on a terrace in a dominant position with respect to the house and the valley below, you will find the beautiful swimming pool (size 9x9 m - depth 1.20-2.20 m - open from 01st May to 30th September), equipped with sunbeds and a wooden gazebo, if you prefer to enjoy it sheltered from the hot summer sun.
La Torre di Vignale offers its visitors a charm of other times and a delightful hospitality, even your small size four-legged friends are welcome here. Also the furnishings, comfortable and rational, with warm and welcoming colours, are for the most part composed of antique furniture that contribute to giving the house a very special fascination.
Paola, the owner, with her kindness and courtesy will make you feel immediately at home. You will instantly became friends with her and she will be a fundamental reference point for your holiday. Do not forget to ask her to prepare you some of her typical Tuscan dishes, our word, you will not regret it!

Tutto molto bene, la Signora Paola attenta e disponibile! Pulizia delle zone esterne ed interne molto accurate. Unico suggerimento: sarebbe utile avere una anche piccola zona cucina al piano terra adiacente alla bellissima veranda. Ci ritorneremo sicuramente. Grazie

We spent a week at Torre di Vignale and loved it. Everything was as advertised - beautiful garden, imaculate interiors, fully equipped kitchen, outdoor patio with barbeque and of course the gorgeous swimmingpool! The views over the surrounding landscape are fantastic. As most other reviewers has mentioned the drive up to the house may seem intimidating at first try but you get used to it, just dont attempt it with a sports car! The owner and host Paolo is wonderfull, charming and helpfull (although her English skills are close to zero - but that is made up by her great attitude). She even prepared a lovely 4 course dinner for our party of 14 at a very reasonable price. The walk down to the village is about 25min (and 35min back up the hill!) The village has a couple of trattorias/pizzerias, pharmacy, ATM machine and a small allimentari. The drive into Arezzo för shopping takes 20 min (Essalunga supermarket is closest and has a good selection). A day trip to Siena (1 hour) is highly recommended. Also the nearby towns of Citta di Castello and Sansepolcro (about 30 min away) are worth a visit. There are some great wineries to viait in the hills above Arezzo - I can recommend Podere di Pomaio!

We enjoyed our 9 days at Torre Di Vignale very much. Everything was as described, or BETTER!!! Ideal for large families/friends who want isolation in the Hills -- 15 minutes from Arezzo--provided you are self-sufficient in the sense that you are happy to cater for yourselves.

An amazing tower, with beautiful views especially when cooking in the wood oven. Well appointed kitchen and clean bathrooms. Owners were quick to attend to any issue that arose.
Great place to base yourself for a relaxing getaway (especially around the incredible pool), but a little far from major attractions if active holidays are more your thing.Vil du anbefale denne ejendom til en ven? Ja
