Torre di Sopra is where my bro and I grew up.
It’s a medieval watchtower just south of Florence, artfully converted in the 1970s by our architect pa, Bruno Sacchi and our mother Jane.
After our father died, we renovated it extensively, added a pool and transformed the garden and now rent it for short term holiday lets and artist retreats, a little haven away from the hussle and bustle of the city.
Last year the BBC asked if they could film some of their hit tv programme Amanda and Alan’s Italian job, as a perfect spot of medieval watchtower inspiration for Alan’s room renovation.
You can catch it TONIGHT 26 Feb at 8.30pm, on BBC1, Series 2, Episode 4, or anytime on BBC iPlayer.
Arrivederci and enjoy! 🤩
