Owner's profile:
The medieval hamlet was part of a century old farm which belonged to my mother's family. The farm is now run by my nephews, they farm organic and can offer excellent extra virgin oil from our olive groves and excellent wine from their beautiful vineyards. Torre della Musica ( the villa I offer for rent) is one of the 6 houses which make up the medieval hamlet, they belong to me and to my sisters. I spend as much time as I can in a house close to Torre della Musica because the place is green and peaceful and close to Florence even if secluded.

Summary: We enjoyed it all!!
Sarah H. Oct 3, 2023 08:42:40 PM
Summary: Adrianna is a lovely host and the villa is beautiful with amazing views and a very well kitted out kitchen which makes food prep easy. You can drive down to contea Londa and get the train to the centre of Florence (we did it a few times). The pool area is really lovely.

Summary: We stayed at torre della musica for two weeks. Adriana is a wonderful host. The house is remarkable, outside and also interior. The kitchen was the best and most complete we saw in a long while. The distance to the pool was a bit more than we anticipated, but that was not a problem. Overall, we were very happy with everything. Full recommendation!

Summary: The stone house was like stepping back into the time of castles and knights. The setting was up in the hills above the nearest town. The hostess was kind and helpful. It provides the experience of living, shopping and driving through rural Italy.

Summary: Our stay at Adriana's gorgeous home exceeded our expectations. She is a kind, energetic, responsive host exuding Italian dolce vita not only in our interactions but also in the way she has created this magical property. There are happy flowers all over--inside and out--and the Tuscan landscape is gorgeous both near (right outside the doors and windows) and far on the surrounding hillsides. The home was perfectly neat, elegant, tastefully and traditionally decorated, well-stocked. We enjoyed sleeping with open windows which allowed us to wake to a symphony of birds each morning. The home is a very old watch tower, which provides quite an aesthetic vibe, but is also modern and comfortable in the important ways (i.e., the bathrooms and kitchen!) The pool area is a short hike down the hill and absolutely worth the walk. It's beautiful, serene, perfectly Tuscan and quite photogenic. My boys loved being in that pool and their only regret from our trip is that we spent more afternoons lounging there. I discovered a lovely hike (1-hour loop) from the property, and Adriana provided great tips for local restaurants and outings. Florence is about an hour's drive away--not too bad--although the fifteen minutes from Londa to the property is gorgeous but a narrow road that is a bit harrowing the first time but you habituate after a couple runs. Our most perfect afternoon of all our two weeks in Italy was a summer rainstorm that swept over the property. This place is the perfect combination of an elegant, classic structure plus natural elements of birds, bees, and rolling slopes. Along with Adriana's kindness and zest, this place is very special indeed. Thank you.

Summary: Easy process.
Jennifer V. Oct 1, 2019 12:40:40 AM
Summary: This property is special. My goal in Italy was to not have everyone else’s holiday, and this place delivered. I won’t lie - I was a bit intimidated by the drive up to the house initially, but by the next day I was a pro. Didn’t spend much time in town other than shopping at the market. Easy train to Florence from the Contea-Londa station. Above all else, Adrianna is a pleasant and responsive host.
Sharon M. Jun 17, 2019 05:13:28 AM
Summary: Spent two weeks in this lovely home. Secluded location with beautiful surroundings. The pool was a great way to cool off after a day in Florence. Adriana was wonderful helpful in every way. We hosted quests throughout our stay a lovely home to spend time with friends and family. We really felt it was our home to enjoy.
Lalena G. Sep 9, 2018 03:47:22 AM
Summary: What a lovely home, with beautiful views from every window looking out onto the hills, gardens and olive groves. Adriana warmly greeted us and showed us around the property and kindly suggested places to explore. There were flowers in every room and a bottle of wine to welcome us on arrival. The quiet location, hearing the cicadas at night and being able to see the milky way was very relaxing after days spent visiting medieval hilltop towns, Florence and the beautiful Chianti region. We loved our time at Torre della Musica.

Summary: Adrianne, and her entire family have a gem of a property. From the awesome home we stayed at, to their oil mill,(which the sister did a masterful job of explaining why their olive oil is second to none, and been in the family for over 300 years.), to the special bottle of of wine they had waiting for us upon check in. The home had the most character I have ever stayed in, There story of the guard tower was great, The views inspiring, and the best thing is that all I could hear were the birds and the bees. We stayed here 8 days, and basically saw all of Tuscany from our base. Do the Dante hike in the national park next to Londa, Go the center centre on Saturday evening and mix with the locals, Great produce in the local markets. You will definitely need a car, it is approximately an hours drive from Florence. My family of four did all of the tourist attractions in Rome, Florence, and Cinque Terre, but give me the serenity of our stone built Villa in Londa, Don't hesitate to book. Bravo Adrianne....
