Ok, it's not exactly medieval living... It's better! The Medieval family who built the castle that once was attached to this tower didn't have indoor plumbing. This gem has all the modern conveniences (including indoor plumbing, a kitchen, 1 1/2 bathrooms, heating and air conditioning) while being tucked away in a quaint little commune (Pratovecchio-Stia). The small town in which it is located has a grocery store and local shopping a very short walk away. Monica surprised us with homemade pasta on our first day and the restaurants in town are fantastic. The beds are comfortable and the living area makes you feel like you've gone back to a simpler time, especially when you choose to light it up with candles instead of always using the overhead lighting. That said, the "castle" can be little drafty in the colder season, so bring a sweater if you plan on booking this property even into March. Also, Pratovecchio is rural, so Tuscan sightseeing requires some travel. Monica suggested taking the train to Arezzo and renting a car from there. We arrived on a Sunday and could only find a rental agency in Florence. The trip over the mountain between Florence and Pratovecchio is spectacular but a bit daunting. Take that into consideration when planning your trip to this area.
