This tower, respectfully, expertly and lovingly restored by the current owners, is today an enchanting and welcoming residence, part of the larger complex of the Castello Voronoff which, in previous centuries, has hosted many illustrious people.

Exterior

The tower stands in a lush communal park arranged on several levels and terraces which extend over an area of more than 20,000 sq with various paths, viewpoints and benches on which you can rest while admiring the surrounding panorama. Born as a true botanical garden of Anglo-Saxon tradition in the mid 19th century, despite having lost some of its original wealth of botanical varieties over time, the park still boasts today a large multitude of species among which the main protagonists are orange and lemon trees, aromatic herbs, olives and palms, rose bushes, succulents and prickly pears. In the northern part of the park, is the communal tennis court, that you need to book, while the big communal swimming pool surrounded by a large solarium is located in the southern part of the property and can be easily reached on foot or by a lift built into the rock.

The rectangular swimming pool for communal use is illuminated in the evening, measuring 20 x 10 m with a maximum depth of 4 m, is lined in light blue PVC, purified with salt and surrounded by a large solarium. Open from mid-June to mid-September, it is easily reached from the tower by the lift built into the rock, or on foot down the many paths.

The communal Tennis Court, available upon reservation, is located in the upper part of the park, has a granulated concrete bottom, is fenced, has regulatory measures, but is not illuminated.
