Tower holiday rentals in Tuscany

For those who love nature and history, every single item is embedded in the tower! History that Raffaele passionately told us, kidnapping us with stories of how he brought this ancient sighting point back to life. The area also offers a lot, starting with the good food recommended by Raffaele himself! In short, arm yourself with a good front for the evening and the sauna costume!

We loved our stay at San Fabiano castle. The location was perfectly situated between Siena and the Brunello/Montalcino wine region, with easy access to each by car. As the listing states this location is best for those with a rental car or pre-arranged transportation. The grounds themselves and common areas of the castle are lovely, with a lot of space to wander and appreciate the castle from different perspectives. The suite is clean, and has fans that help on warmers days/nights. Our temps were in the low 80s and overcast and the suite stayed cool enough to be comfortable with the fan. A minor suggestion is to have bug spray handy if you tend to attract mosquitos (we were told they can be common due to the nearby river). I’d be remiss not to mention Giovanni who was the host on site supporting us throughout our stay. He was very easily accessible throughout our stay. He helped with recommendations in the area and even helped us secure a taxi to our train station. Being connected to the family who owns the estate was a special and unique experience we’ll never forget.

The host Monica was exceptionally welcoming. Showed us around to ensure we knew everything about the tower. She also had fresh pasta and a cake for our arrival! Gave us instructions on the best way to cook it. The tower is beautiful and has been updated in the most complimentary way. From fellow craftsman to craftsman the design and workmanship of the interior is beautiful. Pictures do not do it justice. If you love mid evil times this is your place.

What a wonderful week we had with Luca and Emilia at the tower! It was amazing to see all the pictures in real life - it was even more amazing in person. And the garden is just magical. I had no idea the beauty of the pool area. Laying by the pool and listening to nature we felt transported to a simpler time. To top it off Luca was so delightful. We enjoyed his company and hearing more about the story of the tower and the town. I would recommend this as a stop on anyone’s vacation to Italy. Wonderful hosts in a magical setting!
