Vacation Rental Description
This 18th Century Farmhouse, part of the Villa Bertagni Estate, has been restored into three exclusive apartments, one on each floor each with their own independent entrance. Each apartment has been tastefully modernised and furnished to an extremely high standard with luxury fixtures and fittings throughout. 
 
The Farmhouse commands spectacular views of mountains and the pretty little village of Torrite below. Set in sixty acres of forest and hills with its own swimming pool, the property has recently been renovated to the highest standard without losing its originality. All the apartments have beamed ceilings, well-equipped kitchens and bathrooms with all accessories. 
 
The 'Aida' apartment lends itself to rent together with the 'Pucci' and 'Tosca' apartments as one unit, where 12 people can dine in or outside on the spacious terrace and thereafter return to their own privacy.  
 
The apartment 'Tosca' is on the first floor and has its own independent entrance via a balcony style terrace with views of the valley beyond. Outside in the landscaped garden there is a lovely swimming pool with fountain detail with beautiful views of the village of Torrite below. 
 
The 'Pucci' apartment on the second floor is accessed via a small flight of stone steps where a small balcony opens into the 'Hunting style' entrance hall. There are high ceilings throughout and original exposed beams. The entrance hall leads into the comfortable and well furnished living room with an open fire and there is a well-equipped kitchen. There is also two double bedrooms tastefully furnished with a shower room including WC, basin and bidet.  
 
All apartments have satellite TV and central heating (charged extra where applicable). All have their own supply of fresh spring water. Weekly clean and linen service - extra on request. Cots and high-chairs available (2). Helicopter landing facility. 
 
Outside the apartments in the garden there is a lovely swimming pool and sun terrace with beautiful views of the village of Torrite below. 
 
The Bertagni Farmhouse Apartments are rented on a self-catering basis. Cooking and baby-sitting services are available for an additional charge. The owner can also arrange helicopter and boat sightseeing trips on request. 
 
Low cost flights are available by flying Ryanair from most major airports in the UK to Pisa.
