Description from owner
Description
The Belforti Tower is a unique 14th century country house at the top of Montecatini Val di Cecina, in the heart of Tuscany. Few kilometers away from the city of Volterra, the Tower offers incredible views and enchanting atmospheres for marvellous vacations. Thought to be a temple of beauty, inside it's a gallery of italian modern design in a medieval context, outside it has a marvellous garden of cypress alleys and olive trees.The Belforti Tower is a country house and we rent it out as a whole, so it's not possible to rent a single room. It's made up of five floors and a terrace and can host 4-6 people. It has two comfortable and large double bedrooms with king size beds and a beautiful livingroom with a double bed shielded by a separè. For babies under 3 years there is a crib, and for older kids there is an extra bed.Every floor has it's own bathroom with the shower. The kitchen is large, fully equipped with the latest generation of electrical induction cooking stoves. In the living room there is big, stone fireplace. Every floor has wireless internet connection. For the music, there's a mini hi-fi with cd and Ipod/Iphone docking station and, in the living room, a record player with an enormous collection of classical long play records.

“A welcome return”
Having spent two summer holidays in Montecatini as a child, my expectations were high hoping that a stay in Belforti Tower would match my memories of previous visits. I can only say that the experience exceeded what I was looking for. Our friends and kids loved the tower and the garden is is an amazing place for kids and adults to enjoy alike. Highlights included pre-dinner Gin and Tonics on the rooftop terrace with the breathtaking 360 degree views of the surroundings from Volterra on one side all the way to the sea on the other. The village of Montecatini remains as charming as I remember and many a happy evening was spent in one of the two restaurants, eating great local dishes followed by an ice cream at the Central Bar, watching the kids playing in the Square. The local bakery and supermarket are complimented by the local Friday market not to mention the van which visits every Thursday selling Smoked Mozzarella to which we are now converts. Finally to our hosts Luca and Emilia - thank you so much for your warm welcome, which really added to our stay. Luca was always available to help from a friendly chat, providing information about local places to visit to helping me get re-acquainted with friends the same age I had made 35 years earlier. To sum up this unique accommodation in an unspoilt part of Tuscany is a real gem. My only reluctance in writing this review, is ironically I don’t want too many people to visit so that when I next return it has changed as little as it did between my first visit and now. Grazie
