The Torre Cetona house consists in a semicircular tower built in the 14h century along the town walls, and has been refurbished with care and passion. It is on four levels connected by marble stairs and accommodates 6 people in 3 bedrooms (two king-size and one twin-bed). There are two bathrooms, both with shower and bathtub, close to the bedrooms, a guest toilet near the entrance lobby, a laundry room, a lower ground floor cellar, a large kitchen dining room and two living rooms. The ground floor living room has round thick walls that ensure a cool temperature even in the summer, while the bright first floor living room boasts a working fireplace and panoramic views. On the top floor there is a studio with a balcony, enjoying magnificent views over the surrounding countryside. There is a well-equipped terrace, well-stocked with flowers, where it is possible to sunbathe and eat al fresco.
The house is located three minutes' walk from the town's main square, shops and restaurants.
The town is equidistant between Rome and Florence, and is located 10 km from Chiusi, a mainline railway station from which it is possible to reach Florence in 1 hour and Rome in 1 hour 10 minutes by Eurostar or InterCity trains.
The ancient town of Cetona is built around a rocky outcrop at the foot of Mount Cetona, on top of which is a castle called the 'Rocca'. It is organised according to a typical medieval ring structure, with a curving main road from which steep alleys and stairs reach the town walls. Lovers of history and archaeology will be interested in the Belverde archaeological park, whose Palaeolithic finds are kept in Cetona Civic Museum. Despite being a well-established tourist attraction, the town retains an authentic rural character, sober and tranquil.
Cetona is also famous for the prestigious Chianti vineyards and old olive trees, from which an especially light and tasty oil is produced
