Profile
|
 In the delightful medieval hamlet of Casole d'Elsa, a gem in the Tuscan countryside, is the Ancient Residence "Torre dei Serviti". Formerly a monastery in the second half of the 16th century, it was a dependence of the Episcopal seminary of Volterra afterwards. |
The relaxing life of the village and its vicinity to the main historical and cultural centres of the Province of Siena, will make your stay at the "Torre dei Serviti" a truly particular, original and unforgettable experience. |
The "Torre dei Serviti" derives a great part of its glamour from its surroundings. It is immersed in a historic landscape that is truly unique: the hamlet of Casole d'Elsa today preserves features of the 14th century, which are in perfect harmony with the restorations, modernizations and the magnificence of the surrounding countryside. |
The restoration of the Torre dei Serviti has underlined the medieval features of the tower, both of the architectural structure and of the internal furnishing, while aiming to emphasise such features with originality, sobriety and warmth. |
The common spaces of Torre dei Serviti include an ample corridor, enriched by an amazing floor of travertine squares, hand carved by a master sculptor.
The sitting-room features an original medieval fireplace also decorated with carved travertine rock. |
Next to the sitting room there is a small bar corner with an Internet point and free beverages at guest's disposal. The bar opens onto a small panoramic terrace with a gorgeous view over the hills spreading towards Volterra and San Gimignano. |
