Just outside historic Pistoia, in one of the most beautiful valleys, set as a pearl among the Tuscan hills, stands Dimora La Torre di Bussotto. The mild climate of this area renders the surrounding vegetation abundant and lush with typical Tuscan trees such as oaks, holm oaks, cypresses and chestnuts. Typical Mediterranean vegetation cloaks the surrounding slopes which, from the stream Bure, climb up to the peaks from where the panorama opens out over the plain which extends from Florence toward Pistoia This prestigious residence, built on the ruins of the 16th century church of Spannarecchio, still recalls the past with the characteristic belfry constructed with sandstone blocks that towers above, as guardian of your holiday. The recent renovation combines the typical stone-cladded exterior, in use in the 16th century, with sophisticated décor without neglecting the details of Tuscan tradition such as sandstone, terracotta and ceilings with wooden beams and terracotta tiles, providing those who stay here with unique emotions. On arrival, a typical Tuscan driveway made with river stones will accompany you to the yard in front of the entrance next to the bell tower. The property, on three floors, consists of a living area, a fully-equipped kitchen and air-conditioned bedrooms.
