Located in the countryside of  Arezzo - where Life Is Beautiful and Under The Tuscan Sun were
filmed-, Torre Santa Flora is a unique place to stay for experiencing  the best nature, art,
wine and food of Tuscany and Umbria.  Only 15 minutes from Arezzo's highway and railway
stations, Torre Santa Flora is a perfect starting point for visiting Cortona, Firenze, Siena
and Perugia, which are less than an hour away. Moreover, Torre Santa Flora is situated at the
entrance to Chianti and Casentino. Mentioned by Dante in his Divine Comedy, The Casentino is a
splendid valley rich in medieval villages, castles and monasteries preserving unique landscapes
and old recipes.  Above all, Torre Santa Flora estate is more than a place to stay; it's a
place to live.  Its Tower lies along the shores of  The Arno, upriver from Florence. Once a
Lungbard Tower - and then a Mill Tower that belonged to the Benedictin Monks of the Santa
Flora and Lucilla order-, the beautiful and rare building now offers four old, loft-style
suites overlooking the waters and the hills of the Casentino valley.  Its Villa - once a place
of rest and refreshment for knights and travelers - continues its tradition of hospitality
offering elegant rooms with exquisite Tuscan furnishings. The bedrooms are surrounded by a
bar, a winery, a restaurant and an old family sitting area, which is heated by a traditional
fireplace.  Its Terrace faces the tower, the garden and the swimming pool,  and welcomes
guests with delicious dishes in a romantic atmosphere.
