Nestled in the picturesque village of Tigliano, within the municipality of Pontassieve, this historic Torre House dates back to the 12th century and has long been part of the Grignano Estate. Originally a watchtower, the building was expanded over the centuries and, before becoming a farmhouse, also had a sacred purpose, as evidenced by some architectural details still visible in the current living room. 

Tigliano is a small village immersed in the tranquility of the Tuscan countryside, surrounded by forests, olive groves, and vineyards, offering views that stretch to the Vallombrosa Forest and the Consuma Pass. 

A Restoration that Enhances History 

This property, free on four sides and of regular shape, was expertly restored in the 2000s by the current owners and has been continuously improved, maintaining original architectural details while integrating modern comfort elements.
