A tree-lined driveway leads to the impressive, tangerine facade of this Italian villa. It’s in the countryside, just on the outskirts of the charming town of Pistoia. A ten-minute drive sees you in the town centre, where an ancient duomo and old family towers await to be explored. If you fancy a day trip, Lucca is just a forty-five-minute drive. Sunny days beg for a dip in the Roman-style swimming pool and there are plenty of shaded nooks and verandas to relax with a good book. Breakfast can be taken in the big, country-style kitchen which looks like a vision of yesteryear with its log-fired hearth still active and a dedicated pasta maker and charcuterie slicer. Dine outside (roof on or roof off, it’s up to you) or in the formal dining room inside at an antique table. In here you’ll also find a music corner for the maestro of the group – a vintage record player alongside an accordion and grand piano. This villa is where real Italian living is the name of the game.

Surrounded by holm oaks, cypresses and chestnut trees, this home near Pistoia is a peaceful retreat set within the stunning Tuscan countryside. It’s a sociable place to stay – whether you’re lazing by the pool, tucking into alfresco meals on the covered terrace, or sipping a bold chianti under the gazebo at sunset. Head into town to pick up some fresh local produce to cook on the stone barbecue, or make pizzas in the bell tower’s wood-fired oven. Inside, you’ll find wooden beams, exposed brick walls, stone staircases and typically Tuscan decor, so it’ll feel like another world when you step into the basement, with its Jacuzzi room painted with palm trees and a brilliant yellow sky.

Fenced Property

Between the ancient majesty of Florence and the walled city of Lucca, this stately residence will drop you straight into 19th Century Tuscany. This rousing region of Italy is a sight to behold, and it’s easy to believe the landscape hasn’t changed much since this home was first built. The history of the province runs deep and leads straight through the centre of this grand villa. Each of the rooms has its own thrilling touch of a bygone age, with guests getting to live a piece of it. Take a quiet moment with a good book in one of the parlours, or head out onto the lawn and sip your morning espresso with nothing but the birds and the stunning views. 

Days can be spent topping up the perfect holiday tan and cooling off with a plunge in the private pool, or perhaps if you're more musically inclined, entertain the other guests with a tinkle of the ivories on the home's piano, which can be found in one of the beautiful parlours. One of our favourite rooms is the detached dining hall with its curved ceiling and long table. It speaks of grand old parties where the wine flowed well into the early hours. This is a villa of a golden age, a haven of exploration, and a memorable place to assemble your crew for a getaway. 

For those looking to get out and see the sights, the breathtaking city of Florence is a little under an hour's drive away, and boasts a wealth of shopping, dining, and sightseeing opportunities, including Galleria dell'Accademia and Basilica di Santa Croce, or if getting back to nature is what you're looking for, you're in luck. Grab your most comfortable walking shoes and lose yourself in the wilds of the Florentine countryside, right from your front door.

Shared Pool

Whether you're after a peaceful holiday with friends or a spacious spot for a family gathering, this restored farmhouse is an excellent choice. It's situated on a private country estate in the charming village of Lamporecchio, Tuscany, and has well-tended secret gardens, as well as olive groves to explore. This breathtaking property is spread over two floors and benefits from a private patio and communal pool area – the latter of which is shared with four neighbouring properties. We love the master suite with its fireplace – a welcome feature during the cooler months. We suggest a car for ease –  there are restaurants less than 2km away and the pretty town of Montecatini is 15km from the home.

Far more than its stunning setting, this home offers a private swimming pool and multiple outdoor seating areas from which to soak up the Nievole Valley views below. Opening out onto the terrace, the countryside-style kitchen and alfresco dining area invite you to dine like the locals. And since Monsummano Terme village centre is just 3 kilometres away, you won't have to go far to pick up some local ingredients and other essentials. Meanwhile, day trips to Pistoia, Lucca, Florence, Pisa or Viareggio Beach are easily planned from this Tuscan paradise too. 



A Toast to the Hills

Ping Pong Table

Surrounded by the rolling green hills of the Valdinievole, this imposing villa has been fully restored to offer the perfect mix of period character, classical elegance and modern convenience. Standing in newly landscaped grounds, it's the perfect picture of a Tuscan villa – with white walls, terracotta tiles and tall cypress trees. And we love the tower room that tops it all off with its arched windows.

Inside, the space is beautifully decorated with bold colours and frescoes. Exposed beamed ceilings and wood floors to many of the rooms add charm, while a practical, modern kitchen comes with all the equipment you could need to cook at home and the bathrooms are all stylish and individual. The living room has a particularly cosy feel, with a fireplace for winter escapes and striking red walls. A similar room on the top floor serves as a second lounge and has a sofa bed for two guests – ideal for children.

Spend your days by the private pool, which boasts incredible views, or drive less than ten minutes into the town and its famous spas. And for a day out, it's easy to drive to any of the area's main attractions – Florence, Pistoia, Lucca and Pisa.

Safe

Greeting you with wrought-iron gates, this eighteenth-century Tuscan villa immerses you in the past while maintaining one foot firmly in the present. Set in rolling countryside, just a short drive from the city of Pistoia, it's about as charming as it gets. Think staggering scenery, beautiful terraces, stone courtyards and terracotta tiles. The estate is private and pristine, with immaculate lawns, fragrant flowers and a backdrop of gently swaying pine trees. It's out here that we think you'll spend most of your time, by the glorious infinity pool with far-reaching views. Up at the house, you'll step into history, with so many character features it could be used as a setting for a film. There's a grand living space, with a magnificent fireplace and huge dining table, along with a rustic kitchen and a second lounge. But it's the bedrooms that we fell head over heels with – furnished with antiques and with beamed ceilings and shuttered windows, they're simply beautiful. The ground floor bedroom even opens to a covered veranda with a table and chairs, and the master bedroom's ensuite has a Turkish bath where you can enjoy some aromatherapy. Dining outside on the terrace is an all-day affair, with a barbecue for some of the fresh produce you can pick up locally. And in the evening, why not slip into the hot tub as the sun sets. And although it feels secluded, this place is just a forty-minute drive from Lucca and an hour from Florence.

Elio & Oliver

Beach / Pool Towels

Just a stone's throw away from Leonardo da Vinci’s birthplace, you’ll find this villa, surrounded by a small garden and beautiful views of the Tuscan countryside. There’s a shaded terrace, private pool and sundeck here to enjoy the Italian sun. Inside, there are plenty of character features and a mix of antique and modern furnishings, as well as more vistas from the bedroom windows over the landscape. When you feel like exploring, the Casa Natale di Leonardo museum is within walking distance, while the medieval town of Vinci is a short drive away.

Natural beauty, wellbeing and stylish interiors combine in this hilltop Tuscan hideaway. Perfect for celebrating life’s special moments, every detail of this 19th-century home sings with the natural abundance of its surroundings. And with multiple living spaces, both inside and out, you’ll find it easy to sit back and savour up the laid-back pace of rural living. 

Wake up early and enjoy unforgettable sunrises, gather for Italian-inspired meals under the trees, embrace impromptu dips in the heated pool and find a wonderful sense of relaxation in the air-conditioned bedrooms. However you choose to spend your time here, every moment promises to be enriched by the unique charm of this location. 

From here, days can be spent sightseeing in Montecatini Alto, indulging the senses with spa treatments in Montecatini Terme (4 km away) or simply exploring the countryside on foot or by bike. And for explorations further afield, take day trips to the majestic cities of Florence, Pisa or Lucca (all within driving distance). 

Valley of Serenity  

If forest bathing is your thing, this converted riverside mill is just the ticket. Slap bang in the beautiful Tuscan countryside, the abode is surrounded by mature trees, olive groves and rambling woodland trails that lead to a secret waterfall. Inside the main house, there’s a rustic yet refined approach. Expect exposed stone and timber beams with plenty of modern conveniences to ensure your stay as fuss-free as possible. Plus, there’s a private apartment with a bedroom, kitchen and en-suite bathroom – ideal for holidays with extended family or friends. There are village restaurants and shops a short drive away in the Montalbano hills and Florence is only 20 kilometres away, so you can get your culture fix in the morning and be back by the pool in time for an afternoon swim followed by a glass of something chilled on the expansive terrace. 

Verdant Possibilities

Toiletries

Whether you’re in search of a romantic wedding destination or an immersive Tuscan retreat, this home delivers a dream-worthy solution. From the sweeping countryside views to the private pool (heated upon request), outdoor bar and elegant rooms, every detail has been considered to inspire total relaxation. It’s also extremely well located with the medieval village of Montecatini Alto just a five-minute drive away, and the historic city of Pistoia also within easy driving distance. 


Love From Tuscany

Extra Pillows and Blankets

Whereas most homes give you a single terrace if you're lucky, this Tuscan property spoils you with outdoor spaces. As well as a lounge given some shade by a large parasol, there's also a separate deck with an alfresco dining table and a stone barbecue, plus another area that holds a swimming pool.

Although we're betting you'll be spending most of your time in the open air, the interior is also pleasing to the eye as well. Through the arched doorways, guests will be greeted by a rustic interior, complete with cooling tiles on the floor, patterned walls in the kitchen and lots of botanical-themed artwork dotted about the place.

The local village of Vellano can be reached in around ten minutes' stroll and has a couple of restaurants for when you get peckish. Further afield, there are Tuscan towns that can be reached in under an hour's drive, such as Montecatini Terme, Lucca and Pistoia. If you're up for a slightly longer journey, Florence is only an hour and twenty minutes' drive from the home.

Spinning Around the Sun

Tennis Court

EV Charger

Anyone for tennis? Lovers of the game will be thrilled with the large courts here. Prepare some strawberries and cream for your own version of Wimbledon. The star attraction, though, is this grand, secluded home high on a hill with views over the verdant Tuscan valleys. Enjoy breakfast while gazing out over the peaceful hillside or lounge by the pool while taking in the glorious scent of the surrounding pines. Later, relax over a long lunch of antipasto under the shade of the gazebo with its billowing drapes. Then go for a walk on the winding terracotta paths to find your own slice of heaven in the magnificent gardens. 

Inside, the interiors are no less impressive. Select a book from the library and recline on the chaise longue or take afternoon tea in the sunroom overlooking the silvery olives. We could spend much of our time just wandering around this vast home, discovering all the intriguing antiques and objet d'art. There's so much to do here, but if you do want to venture out, you'll be spoilt for choice. 

Spend the day at the famous Montecatini Thermal Waters (thirty-three minutes by car) and perhaps try their mud bath therapies or visit the many museums in Pistoia, a twenty-minute drive away. If you find yourself in this historic city in July, check out the Pistoia Blues Festival.



Vista Collina

Located just outside the medieval town of Vinci, the birthplace of the town's most famous son is within easy walking distance of this charming villa. Inside, the home takes inspiration from Leonardo, with thoughtfully curated paintings adorning the walls, wicker sofas in the living room and beautifully carved wooden beds. When in Tuscany though, outdoors is always best. Set atop a hill, you'll take in panoramic views of alluring landscapes that stretch as far as the eye can see. Cool off with a few casual laps of the private courtyard pool, surrounded by aromatic herbs, colourful flowers and centuries-old olive trees. Later on, sit down to an alfresco dinner at one of the many outdoor seating areas. After following in the footsteps of greatness, you’re sure to return home feeling inspired.

With vistas over the surrounding vineyards, you couldn’t get a more Tuscan setting. The beautiful garden has a swimming pool and Jacuzzi, plenty of seating areas, a kids’ playground and there’s a barbeque for sociable meals with family and friends. Inside, rustic charm is blended perfectly with modern features and designer furnishings. The accommodation is split between the main house and an annexe with one bedroom and an en-suite. The location is fantastic too – this home is situated between Lucca and Florence, so there’s plenty to see and do. 

Vineyard Dream

Lift Access

With the shops, cafes and eateries of Lamporecchio on your doorstep and picturesque Pistoia no more than a thirty-minute drive away, this apartment is perfectly placed for a laid-back family holiday. There’s a private balcony for enjoying a traditional Italian lunch in the sunshine and a small communal pool for hot summer days. Inside the home, the kitchen is fully equipped for rustling up something tasty, and the bedrooms have everything you need for a comfortable night’s sleep.

Freesia Blossom

Ceiling Fans

This Italian home boasts panoramic views of the Pistoia hills from the poolside. Comprising a main house and barn rented as one, you’ll have four living rooms to spill out into here. With a pool table, table football, and archery, there’s plenty to keep the kids happy, and outdoor meals will be easy thanks to two alfresco dining tables, a barbecue, and an outdoor oven. The layout here won’t suit everyone – the home is spread over several floors and one of the staircases is open – and the traditional decor won’t be to everyone’s tastes, but it’s a great option for those seeking a house with personality. Location-wise, you’re in the village of Massa e Cozzile, with Lucca, Pisa, and Versilia within driving distance for day trips. 

Home and Garden

Wheelchair Access

When staying in the spa town of Montecatini Terme, it’s only right to have a spa of your own. This gorgeous villa, nestled between Florence and Lucca, has relaxation down to a tee. Want for nothing with expansive gardens, a private gym, a huge glistening pool, and a spa complete with a huge jacuzzi, sauna, and Turkish bath. 

It might have every luxury you could ask for, with a modern interior that practically sparkles, but the home is traditional and charming. Creamy walls, white shuttered windows, and a terracotta tiled roof, characteristic of a Tuscan abode, set the scene for a blissful stay. 

While the home itself is lovely, we can’t get over the panoramic views of the Tuscan countryside. Atmospheric rolling hills and sprawling fields are everywhere you turn. It’s the perfect setting to unwind and relax by the pool. Better yet, take in the view from your jacuzzi. The spa might be for the grown-ups, but the kids will love the opportunities for games in the L-shaped pool.

If you thought the days were beautiful, dusk brings new meaning to the word. Watch the golden sun dip into the countryside from one of the patio seating areas, glass of local wine in hand. Then, gather beneath the woven pergola and get started with dinner on the stone brick barbecue. 

When it’s time to explore, the centre of Montecatini Terme is only moments away. Take the funicular train up the hill to the old town for a delicious dinner and even better views. 

Bella of Tuscan Hills

An hour's drive from Florence, this traditional villa is an excellent base for discovering Tuscany. The garden and surrounding 45-acre grounds are the biggest draw – there's a private pool, scenic terrace, and sweeping panoramas of the surrounding countryside. An evening spent watching the sun go down over a glass of wine is the perfect way to unwind, and you can do just that here. The decor inside is traditionally Tuscan, but two kitchens and multiple lounges offer plenty of space for groups. Just note that one of the bedrooms is on a mezzanine, so the ceilings are low, and the space is quite tight.

Slow Rhythm

This home is packed with Tuscan charm – no surprise, considering it was built in the 18th century. Originally two houses (now combined into one), this place has a lot of room to spare. It's filled with antiques, old-school artwork, and buckets of character. The layout is a little quirky, given its past, so expect several stairs, a sofa bed for two, and some beds on the mezzanines – you'll also need to provide your own towels. And we can't forget the garden. Set on 7 hectares, you'll have fantastic views across the western slopes of Monte Albano – best enjoyed from the pool, Jacuzzi, or alfresco dining terrace. Factor in the proximity to Florence, and we think it's a no-brainer.

Tuscan Mahogany

Umbrellas

This magnificent yellow house sits in the rolling countryside between Lucca and Tuscany, offering incredible views of this lush, green part of Italy. The home is elegant and unique, with ceiling frescoes in the bedrooms and even a consecrated chapel in the grounds – this would be a magical setting for a wedding. 

Special events aside, this is a wonderful holiday home whether you’re travelling with friends or family. There’s plenty of room, including a spacious traditional kitchen – why not hire a private chef and enjoy an alfresco feast on the terrace? The outdoor space is marvellous, set over several terraced levels. The result is incredible views of the Tuscan countryside from every angle. The swimming pool is sheltered from view by a row of trees on one side, and open to sweeping views on the other – it’s glorious at any time of day, but we’re particularly fond of a sunset swim. 

The villa is only a thirty-minute drive from Lucca, and within easy reach of Florence too – the train to Florence takes an hour and eleven minutes. Spend a morning in Lucca admiring the architecture from a picturesque square, then stroll around the medieval centre with a gelato. For some top-notch relaxation, we recommend driving fourteen minutes to Montecatini Terme. This gem of a town boasts nine thermal spas housed in historic buildings – it feels like stepping back in time in the best way. 

There’s so much to see and do in this beautiful part of Italy, and this spectacular home is the ideal base from which to explore. When you’ve taken in all the sights you can manage, recline on the terrace with a glass of Chianti. Bliss. 


You Are My Sunshine

Boasting noble origins and surrounded by 10 hectares of land, this villa guarantees a stay to remember. Inside, you'll find 19th-century antiques and ceiling frescoes – and while this may not appeal to the modernists among you, the place has that quintessential Tuscan charm that we can’t get enough of. Taking advantage of the glorious weather couldn’t be easier thanks to the alfresco dining terrace and seating area, and when you need to cool off, there’s a private pool. Location-wise, Montecatini Terme is within easy driving distance, but if you fancy exploring further afield, Pisa is our day-trip destination of choice.

Tuscany Oasis

Parking On Street

With hosts who actually produce their own virgin olive oil, this stately villa simply radiates authenticity. The home is comprised of three individual stone cottages perched on the Tuscan hillside, located in the pretty village of Ciciana. You’ll be surrounded by the vast, untouched countryside – hiking trails nearby will acquaint you with local farm animals and horses. At the centre of the home is a pristine saltwater infinity pool, benefitting from panoramic views of the surrounding green plains and the medieval town of Lucca below. This home encourages outdoor living, with charming dining areas dotted around the garden – our favourite being the idyllic little lavender-draped corner, boasting stunning views down the hill. Dine al fresco long into the balmy summer evenings with a much larger eating space on the shaded terrace, equipped with reclining wooden chairs, an outdoor kitchen, and a barbecue. Tear apart the focaccia and devour a chilled glass of vino, socialising and playing games while the meat sizzles away. When you’re not indulging in the local delicacies, explore the cobblestone streets of Lucca at your feet, just a short drive down.

A Dash Of Olive Oil

Heated Pool

Enjoy a scenic Italian getaway with a stay in this Tuscan retreat. You’ll be welcomed by paronamic views across olive groves and rolling hills. There’s a private pool, a Jacuzzi and a large terrace with a barbecue for dreamy evenings under the stars. Inside, the rooms are simple, cool and well-suited to families. Your host can help organise a private chef on request as well as a range of experiences. Plus, there’s plenty to explore in the surroundings with easy access to Montecatini Alto, Lucca, Florence and Siena.

Tuscany Beauty

Tranquil doesn’t even begin to describe this wonderful apartment. It’s tucked away in the hills above Bagni di Lucca, in a tiny village that’s quiet even in the height of summer. You’ll share the grounds and outdoor pool with four villas, but there’s plenty of space. Stunning views can be admired from almost every angle here, with far-reaching vistas of the surrounding hills and forests. The apartment is rustic in style, with exposed stone walls and terracotta floor tiles. It’s the perfect retreat for a romantic getaway. 

Italian Stone

This rural palace, tucked away in a quiet hamlet half an hour from Lucca, is like two homes in one. Such is the contacting styles between the authentic basement and the modern luxury of the ground floor, you'll feel like you've wandered into a new home. 

The idyllic outdoor space is the perfect blend of the two, providing a rustic vibe tinged with deluxe furnishings. Where you spend most of your time depends on your mood and the weather. 

During sunny, summer days, while away the hours in the dreamy space around the pool. Tropical plant life faces into fresh water, creating an exotic oasis, kissed by the summer rays. 

When the months turn cold and you fancy a snug setting, the basement is a restful haven. Rustic, wooden furniture is encompassed by stone walls and a tiled floor. It's an intimate spot to gather for meal times, sharing homemade spaghetti in your secret bunker.

If you fancied exploring beyond your tranquil abode, the cobbled streets of Lucca are just half an hour away. Find cute cafes, vintage wine stores and traditional restaurants.

Set on an estate dotted with trees, shrubs, and other native foliage, this home ecompasses the entire first floor of an ancient villa in Orentano. Despite sharing things like the pool, tennis court, and soccer field with another home, there is enough room on the property for it to still feel private. That’s probably helped along by the fact that you have your own private garden and barbecue – not to mention the sheer size of the home itself. Move easily between rooms and use the easy go-between as an excuse to nip into the kitchen for another cup of coffee and a dozen more biscotti to take back to where you’re reading on the plush sofa. Take the spiral staircase up to the loft where you’ll find the rustic bedrooms and bathrooms for when you’re ready to turn in at night. When you think loft, you might conjure up images of a tight squeeze, but the addition of the skylights in almost every room here allows the light to make the space feel more open. 

With the host and his family living on the estate, you’ll sometimes find yourself around the table enjoying their homemade pasta alfresco with soft music playing in the background. There’s also a brick pizza oven here, so don’t be surprised if you eat more margarita than you’d care to – we know, that is not even remotely possible. 

When you’re not enjoying the home, you can make a trip to Pisa, Voltera, or Florence – each with their unique charm – or borrow the bicycles and simply explore the surroundings on two wheels instead of four. After a day of activity under the Tuscan sun, take a late-night swim in the heated pool, and when you’re ready to return inside, why not linger a little while longer to gaze up at the stars. 

Tuscan Welcome

This rustic farmhouse surrounded by picturesque hills makes for a restful Tuscan retreat. The interiors are a little dated in parts, but perfectly comfortable for a rural stay – the dining room with panoramic windows is a highlight. Outside, the terrace offers swing seats, loungers and a dining area, so you can maximise every moment with those country views. The unpaved track to this house is a little tricky to navigate, so it’s not the best for low-suspension cars. Nearby you’ll find Pescia’s authentic restaurants and shops, while Lucca lies less than 25km away should you feel like a day in the city.

Pescia Paradise

In a sleepy town in Tuscany, this breathtaking apartment is a unique find. Set in a former palazzo, it boasts classical Tuscan features like high ceilings, traditional archways, and a grand red brick exterior. Neutral colours inside contrast with the spectacular frescoed walls. We love the Rococo-style cherub fresco above the bed, lending the room a celestial aura. There is plenty of space to relax in the large open plan living area, and the fully stocked kitchen is perfect for practising your Italian home cooking. 

Certaldo Alto is a charming walled Medieval town, home to winding cobbled streets, picturesque churches, family run restaurants, and sprawling views of the verdant Tuscan countryside. It is 35km from Florence, making a day trip to the city easy. While you are there, be sure to sample some of the excellent wines from the region. After a day of exploring, kick back on the sofa in your opulent living room, before retreating to the serene calm of the bedroom for a perfect night’s sleep. With its romantic setting and unbeatable location, this would be the perfect getaway for couples. 

Fairytale in Fresco

Courtyard

Head into the Tuscan hills just outside the charming village of Cellai and keep an eye out for an imposing villa with its own bell tower. Almost unbelievably, this stunning property will be your home from home for however long you decide to stay.

Step inside your apartment, and you'll discover a typically Tuscan scene, with tiled terracotta floors, exposed wooden ceilings and frescoes painted directly on the walls. Four individually decorated bedrooms, each as enchanting as the last, will serve as your soothing sanctuaries for you to unwind at the end of each day. The spacious interior includes not one but two seating areas, so you can always claim a secluded spot as your own for the afternoon if you want to get lost in the pages of a good book. Meanwhile, the kitchen and dining area are perfect for sociable meals with family and friends in true Italian style. 

Outside in the shared garden, you'll find yourself surrounded by pristine landscaped gardens with a vine-covered pergola, terraced seating and perhaps most importantly, a pool. 

Start each day by visiting Forno La Chiocciola, where you can stock up on fresh bread, including Florentine speciality flatbread, schiaccata. Then, when you're not laying out on poolside loungers and sipping wine in the sun, the stunning Renaissance city of Florence is less than half an hour away. Why not get to know the artistic, architectural and cultural history of Tuscany, spending an afternoon or three wandering its streets and taking it all in. 


The Legendary Giulia

It may be less than a thirty-minute drive from the spectacular Renaissance city of Florence, but this home feels like another world. Located up in the hills, you'll discover a spectacular villa – complete with a clock tower – just outside the small village of Cellai, where time seems to stand still. 

Pad across terracotta-tiled floors, with wood beam ceilings above, and discover rooms filled with character and charm, where period features and modern touches sit effortlessly alongside one another. Nowhere is this better displayed than in the contemporary kitchen and adjoining dining room with its antique stove. Each of the four bedrooms blends rustic charm with supreme comfort, while the bathrooms are fitted out with beautiful tiles and gleaming marble for a touch of luxury.

Step outside and you'll discover a lush landscape of terraced gardens, an inviting pool and breathtaking views over the Tuscan terrain. Your hosts recommend making the trip to Forno La Chiocciola, where you can stock up on Florentine speciality flatbread, schiaccata, each morning. Afterwards, place yourself poolside and settle in for a day of sunbathing, interrupted only by refreshing dips in the water and trips to the kitchen to get some more of that delicious bread. 

The Breadbasket

Sound System

This elegant home in Tuscany is in a dreamy spot in a valley, in a countryside setting that leads to absolute relaxation. The villa is full of character, with antique furniture and wooden beams, in addition to mesmerising views. 

The outside space is lush and pretty. Roses and lavender have been planted alongside a wealth of trees, making the garden feel like an oasis. In the morning, sip coffee at the table under the gazebo, admiring the views and planning your day. If you’re anything like us, you won’t be able to resist a dip in the hedge-lined swimming pool for long. Dry off on a sun lounger with a good book, or start a table tennis tournament with your friends. 

In the evening, set up outside at the long dining table. You might like to arrange for a local chef to come and cook for you – that way you can enjoy a cocktail hour on the terrace before dining as the sun sets beyond the valley. 

The villa is only a short walk along the river to the centre of peaceful Poggibonsi, so you can easily dine out in the local restaurants or grab a gelato. Montemorli vineyard is just a twenty-minute walk up the hill, while the medieval beauty of San Gimignano is a mere twenty-one-minute drive away. Slightly further afield, you can be in Siena in thirty minutes, and Florence in an hour.  


Verdant Valley

Access to Gym / Spa

Resort Access

Nestled in the verdant hills of Bologna, this villa is part of a luxurious resort that offers guests a truly unique and indulgent experience. With an array of amenities on-site, including restaurants, a spa, a tennis court, a children’s play area, and a golf course, you'll have everything you need for an unforgettable stay. The villa itself boasts spacious and stylish interiors spread over two floors (this may not suit those with limited mobility), complete with four charming bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom. Outdoors, you can relax in the garden with a glass of Sangiovese or indulge in the hot tub. And if you wish to take your stay to the next level, why not have your host arrange and private chef and barman for a night? 

Lilac Bloom

Just over an hour away by train from lively Bologna, Brisighella is a charming medieval village straight out of a storybook. With its hilltop clock tower, narrow alleyways and ancient walkway, it's the definition of picturesque. And this villa on the outskirts of town is the perfect place to take it all in. Consisting of the main house and a small annexe, everything here feels bright and welcoming. There's a touch of that rustic warmth you'd expect from a country home in the knotted beams and stone floor, but otherwise, the design is all old-world elegance – imagine wingback chairs, canopy beds and glittering chandeliers. Outside, the panoramic views of the Tuscan Apennines take centre stage. Whether you're sipping wine under the pergola, taking a dip in the pool or enjoying home-cooked meals in the fresh air, you'll have a front-row seat to spectacular sunsets and sweeping night skies. Trust us – you'll never want to leave.

La Favola

Security Cameras

Surrounded by olive groves and ancient woods, this traditional farmhouse welcomes you to an authentic stay in the heart of Tuscany. 

Located on Pomaio hill with sweeping views across the countryside, this is a wonderful setting to retreat into the heart of nature. And from the moment you arrive, you’ll want to savour the rustic simplicity and charm of this home – it’s the perfect place to connect with the timeless beauty of Italy. 

Families and friends will love gathering here – the communal spaces feel warm and intimate, inviting you to slow down and enjoy quality time together. And whether you’re drinking your morning coffee in the garden, swimming in the pool or cooking in the cosy kitchen, this is the kind of home that enriches daily living. 

Outside, follow the garden path out into the surrounding countryside for an inspiring stroll, or make the short drive into the majestic city of Arezzo – just ten–minutes away. Whether you’re admiring 15th century frescoes and abbeys, or olive trees and vineyards, this home is the perfect setting to celebrate the authentic taste of Tuscany. 

The Terracotta Sun

Perched on the slopes of the Chianti hills, this stone villa effortlessly blends traditional Tuscan farmhouse charm with modern comforts. Since children under six aren’t permitted here, this villa is a perfect spot for a group seeking a retreat amongst sprawling gardens. There’s a separate cottage for guests seeking a little extra privacy, while the outdoor terrace is perfect for sharing Tuscan dishes all together (your host even produces their own olive oil and wine). Located near the village of Radda in Chianti, you’re perfectly placed for hiking the Tuscan hills or visiting one of the many vineyards that the region is known for.

The Rosso

Just outside the famed artist town of Montecatini Terme, this sprawling villa in the Tuscan countryside is well-placed for exploring not only nearby Florence, but lovely Lucca as well. But while we love the position of this home, we think some guests might end up finding it difficult to leave the premises – with a beautiful mature garden and large swimming pool, this home’s many charms are capped off by a floodlit private tennis court, ping pong table, foosball, and a children’s play area. And that’s before we get to the horses. Keen equestrians – or just the horse curious – will love the fact that this home is neighboured by horse paddocks, with riding lessons and excursions available on request. Inside, the home is decorated in the traditional Tuscan manner, with classic tiling, exposed ceiling beams, and classic furnishings all in evidence. There’s a separate apartment available too, which we think would work wonders for families or friends travelling together. Not that you’ll be spending much time indoors though – with covered terraces, plenty of sun loungers round the pool, and shady spots set up under the trees, this is a home that revels in indoor-outdoor living.

Breakfast Included

This charming apartment is located in perfect tranquillity inside a converted ancient palace, where the environment has been impeccably refurbished whilst respecting the original structure. We love how much greenery surrounds this home, and how it can make you appreciate the simple things in life as you take a long walk through the flora, breathing in the fresh air and listening to the bird's chirp. The wooden beams definitely give this home the character it deserves, as do the shutters that can be opened to let in light as you gaze out over the trees of an ancient noble villa.
 
When you want to be a part of the city's hustle and bustle, take the sixteen-minute drive to Lucca and bike along the city walls, losing yourself in the history of what would've been, before indulging in some retail therapy in the Old Town. Admire Piazza dell'Anfiteatro, a magnificent square constructed on the ruins of the ancient Roman amphitheatre that spreads a mix of historical beauty and true Italian flavour – stop for a bite to eat in the courtyard with innumerable cafes and restaurants.


Upon the Pathway

Watch the glorious sunset over the Tuscan countryside and beautiful Lucca from the terrace of this romantic apartment. Or enjoy a candlelit supper of acquacotta, surrounded by lush greenery and twinkling lights – we adore the outside space here. Inside, there are character features aplenty, thanks to its farmhouse heritage. Think wooden beams, terracotta floor tiles and a large elegant fireplace. Another highlight is the bedroom, with its large painting and views over the Tuscan countryside.

Lucca and its many attractions, such as the Guinigi Tower and the Puccini Museum, are a few miles away. Or the village of Tofori is nearby, while if you like gardens, the Giardino di Villa Garzoni is a must-see.
