Description
On the gentle hills surrounding San Clemente, a charming hamlet in the municipality of Reggello, proudly stands the Castle of Torre a Monte, an authentic historic residence built around 1427 by the noble Cavalcanti family.
The Reggello area, nestled on the slopes of Mount Pratomagno and overlooking the Upper Arno Valley, is a land of extraordinary natural and cultural beauty. Here, centuries-old olive groves, chestnut forests, and medieval villages alternate, dotted with Romanesque parish churches and ancient noble villas. The landscape preserves the unspoiled charm of rural Tuscany, where agricultural tradition—especially the production of DOP-certified extra virgin olive oil of exceptional quality—intertwines with a millennia-old history dating back to Etruscan and Roman times.
In this evocative setting, the Castle of Torre a Monte dominates the valley with its graceful grandeur. Surrounded by ancient, tranquil nature, it is adorned with a magnificent Italian-style garden, created around 1860 by Baron Adolfo Levi, the then-owner and the visionary behind its refined restoration and expansion. He is credited with the finely decorated coffered ceilings, the frescoed halls, and the revival of the castle's original structure, harmoniously blending architectural rigor with nineteenth-century romanticism.
Today, the Castle—enhanced by spacious green areas, a pool set within the heart of the garden, and artful nighttime lighting that highlights its contours and towers—welcomes guests into an atmosphere of timeless elegance and serenity.
It is the perfect setting for weddings, receptions, and exclusive events, a place where history, art, and nature merge in perfect harmony, offering visitors an authentically Tuscan experience
