Casa La Torre is located in an ancient palace overlooking the small hamlet of Rosennano. Its renovation was completed in 2019: the ancient charm of Tuscan homes is combined with modern finishes and state of the art technical solutions.
The apartment LA TORRE, on the second floor, is especially striking with its open loggia overlooks a vast view ranging to the boundaries with Lazio and Umbria. Abutting onto this loggia, where you can enjoy unforgettable evenings and pleasant relaxing moments, are a modern fully equipped kitchen (dishwasher, electric oven, microwave), a large sitting room with a dining area and a romantic bedroom with en-suite bathroom.
Another bedroom with two single beds and a spacious “suite” with a single and a double bed, each with its private bathroom, complete the sleeping area on this floor.
The apartment LA TORRE is connected, through a small external path, starting form the main road of the village, to the gardens and common spaces including the shared swimming pool

INFORMATION ABOUT THE STRUCTURE
Casa La Torre is a part of the “Le Balze di Rosennano” which offers to lovers of nature, quietness and beauty a sort of scattered hospitality : self-contained dwellings embedded within different historic buildings of the pretty hamlet of Rosennano. All the homes, independent of each other, face south, enjoy marvellous views and have free access to the gardens. Only some enjoy a private garden too.
Starting from the main road of the village and taking a small private walkway, the guests of Casa La Torre may enjoy the following common areas :
- The ample lawn, bordered with Mediterranean plants, situated on the panoramic terrace that characterises the southern aspect of the hamlet. Tables, chairs and chaises longue allow guests to relax before the unique view of the Tuscan countryside.
- Below the terrace the extensive park, shaped like an amphitheatre, is planted with olive trees.
- (from 2020) The beautiful swimming pool (12x4) strategically positioned to allow the enjoyment of an unforgettable panorama and at the same time at a sufficient distance from the houses to ensure utmost peace and quiet to all our guests. The swimming pool is open from May to October and beach beds, umbrellas and deck chairs are provided for our guests.
