Sprawled over a hilly spur close to the heart of Tuscany with stunning views of the Val di Cecina, this villa is an ideal retreat for families or groups of friends who share a taste for fine Italian wine and idyllic countryside. 

Replete with Volterra sandstone, terracotta, and wood, this home oozes Tuscan charm. Here, there is plenty of room for small groups to break off before coming together for an Italian spread at meal times. Spend some time by the infinity pool and then on the panoramic terrace, taking in the view and sipping on a cocktail in anticipation of the breathtaking sunsets. 

For adventure seekers, take a trip to nearby Volterra, with its eight-hundred-year-old town walls, impressive historical buildings and tempting restaurants. Further afield, seek out culture in Florence, the city of Dante, Michelangelo and Machiavelli.

In the undulating Tuscan countryside, this villa sits atop a hill, right on the ancient oil and wine route through olive groves and vineyards. It’s a fifteen-minute drive from Volterra, a medieval walled town with plenty of farm-to-table restaurants and old churches to explore. And Siena is just under an hour’s drive for a day trip.

Panoramic views take centre stage outdoors, where raised terraces can provide shaded spots for meals outside. From a poolside lounger, you can admire the forest-clad hills around you, before slipping into the turquoise pool to cool off from the sun. Aperitivo is best served on the first-floor terrace, where comfy seating looks out over the countryside.

The villa may have the stone facade and arched windows of a traditional Tuscan farmhouse, but the wall of glass in the living and dining room is a testament to the 21st century. There’s more than enough room for the group to spread out and dine together at two banquet-sized tables inside. Unwind beneath a brick vaulted ceiling in the evening. Chefs will feel right at home in the kitchen – all chrome and steel like the professional kitchens of a Michelin-starred restaurant, but with a wood-topped pasta-making table straight out of a 19th-century farmhouse.

Originally a small, rural stone building, this villa has been extended and modernised, allowing it to blend into the landscape. And what a setting it is, the views of the Tuscan countryside are beautiful – enjoy them from the swimming pool (heated for a fee) and the hot tub. Inside, there's plenty of room to entertain your family or friends, and if you must work while on holiday, well there are a couple of workstations in two bedrooms. We'd also recommend a car to get the most out of the area. You'll find Volterra 14 kilometres and San Gimignano 18 kilometres away.

Villa of Tranquility

Set amid beautiful green countryside just outside the pretty medieval town of Volterra, this striking stone home – which was originally constructed to serve as a watchtower – is brimming with quintessential Tuscan charm and a host of handy amenities, making it the perfect base from which to set out and explore the highlights of the local area.

Spend days unwinding within the tranquil environs of the home and its sprawling gardens filled with mature trees and boasting a lovely fenced swimming pool area. Grab a book and delve into its pages in the shade of one of these trees, or catch some of the Southern Italian sunshine, before dipping into the refreshing waters of the pool as the aromas from the garden's many plants hang heavy in the air. 

Leaving the grounds of the home, you'll find yourself within easy reach of typical towns of the region, including historic Volterra and San Gimignano, as well as Florence and Siena, where you will be able to sample not only the local way of life but also the fabulously flavourful Tuscan cuisine. Beach bunnies may well also rejoice as the gorgeous stretches of soft sand lining the Tyrrhenian Sea are also readily accessible.
With bellies rumbling, you can either put the well-equipped traditional kitchen to the test and try your hand at replicating old favourites and new delicacies discovered on your sojourns of the local area. Or, make your way to one of the numerous nearby trattorias and spend the evening feasting alfresco.

Buried deep in the rolling hills of Tuscany, with idyllic rural views stretching as far as the eye can see, this villa in Montecatini Val di Cecina is achingly beautiful inside and out. Combining stone walls and wooden beams with modern furnishings and stylish decor, this one offers a unique stay experience with plenty of luxury touches to boot. 

We particularly love the contemporary modular sofa, artistic lighting and Asian wall art that blends with the handmade wood and antique fireplace to create a well-balanced, zen space to relax after an explorative day driving up and down the winding hillside roads. Cook up a storm in the sleek kitchen, before tucking into a big group meal in the dining room with funky decorative details – like the wooden bookshelves and Asian-influenced objects. 

But while we adore the interiors, our favourite spot has to be down by the glistening pool. Whether you're enjoying an alfresco lunch on the covered terrace, cooling off with a quick dip in the pool, or enjoying an aperitif under the canopy, you'll be able to admire the incredible green vistas. 

When you're ready to explore, there's a host of charming hamlets and villages to discover, including Volterra and Pomarance – both less than thirty minutes' drive away.

This charming Tuscan farmhouse is located on a family farm in the Val di Cecina, surrounded by beautiful hill views. Built in 1883, the farmhouse has been lovingly renovated to retain historic features while adding modern comforts. It’s a peaceful home-from-home perfect for a large family group – children will love the play area and swimming pool. The garden is filled with rosemary, cypress, and oak trees, and features a delightful gazebo for dining outside – there’s a stone barbecue to cook on. If you don’t fancy cooking, the home-owner has a restaurant just 600 metres away. 


Rosemary & Oak

This glorious villa is nestled amid the hills of Val di Cecina, within easy reach of Volterra, San  Gimignano, and Siena. From its raised position, it offers panoramic views of the countryside, adding to the tranquil vibe. The farmhouse, dating back to the mid 1800s, has been renovated to retain its charm while adding contemporary touches. We love the exposed beams and terracotta floors paired with floor-to-ceiling windows that show off the stunning vistas. Swim in the private pool in the well-kept garden, before dining on the terrace – it’s a splendid spot for sunset. 


Sunset on Stone

If you're seeking tranquillity, this elegant country house is perfect. Having undergone a refined renovation, it's a successful mix of the traditional and the modern, with its contemporary comforts alongside exposed stone walls and wooden beams. 

Relax in the pretty garden bordered by a hedge for privacy – we adore the vistas over the tapestry of fields in the distance from the swimming pool. Later, fire up the brick-built barbecue and enjoy an alfresco lunch in the portico or the second dining area under the shade of a pergola.

This home is ideal for a group of friends or family who want privacy as upstairs are two mini-apartments connected internally to the main house but with a separate entrance from the mezzanine floor. On the ground floor, there's also a suite with independent access – here, you'll find a kitchenette and bathroom, as well as a bedroom.

Situated in the Val di Cecina, you'll find unspoilt countryside, dotted with gorgeous towns such as Volterra, eighteen minutes in the car. There are many Roman remains to visit, like the Roman Theatre, or take some photos of the central Palazzo dei Priori with its medieval frescoes and a bell tower. All in all, this home will make your Tuscan holiday dreams come true.

From slow mornings watching the sunrise to leisurely swims in the pool (heated upon request) and long soaks in the jacuzzi, it’s easy to fall in love with the quiet charm of this setting. 

By sunset, the outdoor dining area transforms into the perfect backdrop to idyllic evening drinks and barbecue meals. And when the weather draws you inside, you’ll find the living room inviting you to get cosy by the wood-burning fire. 

For explorations further afield, days can be spent admiring ancient sights, sampling delicious local cuisine, following nearby hiking trails and simply basking in the beauty of Italian living.

Eternal Moon 

Nestled in the rolling Tuscan countryside, this home is the perfect couple's retreat. The outdoor space boasts stunning views of the surrounding hills. Whether you're swimming in the private pool or sharing a bottle of Italian wine on the terrace, pretty panoramas await. Although the indoor decor is quite traditional, it has a lot of character. As for location, head 15 kilometres west to the pretty hilltop village of Lajatico, known as the hometown of Andrea Bocelli. Venture south and you'll discover Volterra, just 13 kilometres away.

Tuscany's Tenor

Attractive and elegant, this villa is within easy reach of San Gimignano, Volterra, and Pisa. It’s only 2 kilometres from Teatro del Silenzio, sitting amid vineyards and olive groves in the beautiful landscape of the Pisan Hills. Set off on foot or by bike to discover the nearby nature trails and birdwatching stations, or soak up the sun beside the private pool. The villa features typically Tuscan architecture, including a stone facade, terracotta floor, and wooden ceiling beams. It’s a comfortable home-from-home in a breathtaking location. 

Pisan Stone

This Tuscan home is something special. It’s in the Val di Cecina, close to the medieval town of Pomarance, with its historic castle and walls. The villa – comprising four residential units – is perfect for several families as there’s plenty of space to spend time together while still enjoying privacy. From its position in the hills, the villa offers beautiful views of the surrounding landscape, which can be admired from the well-kept garden and terracotta outdoor dining area. The scent of verbena, lilies, and rosemary pervades the garden. This stylish and elegant home has been renovated to add modern comforts while retaining all the charm of a typical Tuscan farmhouse. 

Verbena & Rosemary

Balcony / Patio

Amid scenic landscapes on the Tuscan hillside, the façade of this home resembles a countryside castle. Meanwhile, the interiors and amenities are just as impressive. With huge expansive terraces and a private swimming pool, taking in views across the valley can be enjoyed at every opportunity. Inside, antique furniture lends a historic lived-in atmosphere that, despite a traditional aesthetic, offers comfort and practicality. From here, you can easily walk into the village of Lano. Meanwhile, the picturesque walled mountain town of Volterra is just over half an hour away by car. 



The Lago Sky

Out here in the Tuscan countryside, you can live the rustic idyll where days are spent reading a book in the shade of an olive tree or dining as a group outside in the shade of a pergola. Add a private hot tub and a newly built swimming pool into the mix and you’re got the perfect rural get-away. The verdant green garden is enclosed by an old stone wall and within the grounds, you’ll find a shaded olive grove and an orchard furnished with hanging chairs and bistro tables to seclude yourself away. We love the barbecue area where an old well has been turned into an innovative grill, there’s a cast-iron bread oven and plenty of prep space for the chef of the group to tinker away. 

The highlight inside has to be the farmhouse-style kitchen with its electric oven that looks like the bread ovens of old and marble-topped counters against exposed stone walls. The barrel-vaulted dining room harks back to days gone by and throughout you’ll find wooden ceilings and terracotta floors. The living room is a surprisingly sleek and modern space, but the bedrooms – with wrought-iron frames against crisp white walls – are back to Tuscan rusticana. 

You’re out in the rolling hills of southern Tuscany here, but it’s a short hop in the car to Pomarance where you’ll find supermarkets for supplies, and a healthy handful of pizzerias, local bars and coffee shops.

Rusticana Sonata

Nestled in the heart of Tuscany, this villa offers breathtaking views of the Val d'Elsa. A former barn dating back to 1620, expect to find plenty of character touches inside – we're talking 5-metre high ceilings, wooden beams, and even fossil shells contained in the external walls. Outside, the panoramic terrace is perfect for alfresco wining and dining. There's also a heated pool, where you can float the afternoon away and admire the scenery. Explore nearby medieval towns like San Gimignano, indulge in local delicacies with private chefs and cooking classes – your host can arrange them for a fee – and create unforgettable memories in this Tuscan paradise.

Elsa's Outlook

Smart TV

Perfect for a couple of families travelling together, this home is spread between the farmhouse and the converted barn, so everyone can enjoy their own space.

Traditionally Tuscan from head to toe, this villa is a fantastic option for an authentic stay. It's a fifteen-minute drive from Volterra, so you'll be well-placed to explore. Some little surprises await you here – a dining table that converts into a pool table, a small kitchenette in the main suite, and an outdoor gym, just to name a few. But the real highlight is the garden. Venture outside to the private pool and hot tub overlooking vineyards. The terrace provides an idyllic setting for meals, too – your host can even arrange private chefs or cooking lessons upon request.

Lavender Vine

Surrounded by unspoilt Tuscan countryside, between Volterra, San Gimignano and Lajatico, this villa is ideal for those who are looking for a peaceful location that’s within easy driving distance of charming Tuscan towns. Split between a main house and a 12th-century tower, there’s plenty of space for the whole group to spread out. Each room is equipped with mosquito nets and fans, so you’ll be plenty comfortable during the summer. The age of the place means there are some signs of wear and tear, but we think that adds to the charm. Outside, there’s a swimming pool and a dining terrace for meals in the sunshine.

The Tuscan Terrace

We can't think of many things more idyllic than sitting by the pool with a glass of Tuscan wine, overlooking the rolling vineyards. But you're in luck, as that's what awaits you at this stunning slice of paradise. This home is tucked away in the romantic countryside of Italy and is surrounded by eight hectares of land. There's precious little to distract you, rather, days are spent soaking up the sun, walking in the forest or cooling off in the pool. A built-in barbecue is big enough to cater for the entire group, with wooden tables lining the paved patio for afternoon feasts. Interiors are wonderfully traditional as an old farmhouse has been spruced up with glass chandeliers, hanging bare bulb lights, and pretty tiled bathrooms. Many of the original features are still in tact, with huge stone fireplaces, oak beams, and antique furniture adding to the sense of stepping back in time.

Location-wise, you’re 5 kilometres from Berignone Nature Reserve, with its glorious walks and wild swimming, and a short drive from picturesque Casole d'Elsa, where you can stock up on local produce.

Tuscan Meadows

Flooded with light, courtesy of the arched windows, this home is perfect for a couple’s getaway. Traditional in style, the main thing missing here is an oven – but isn’t that the perfect excuse to dine out on fine Italian cuisine instead? Outdoors, you’ll find generous gardens and a swimming pool, shared with the other residents, just perfect for soaking up the Tuscan sun. Ready to venture out? We recommend a trip to San Gimignano. Its famous towers are a must-see in the area, while the local restaurants will cater to your dinner needs.

For a more active itinerary, there are a plethora of activities available. Go wine tasting at the vineyards, try your hand at horse riding or learn how to cook traditional Tuscan meals from talented chefs. Of course, you can always let someone else take care of the food whilst you while away the hours in the picturesque pool.

If you'd prefer a bit of privacy, the quaint comfort of your home is a peaceful abode. Relax on the sofas with an espresso or chat away on the outdoor seats under the pergola. Come the evening, the outdoor space is an idyllic spot to watch the magic of sunset with a glass of wine from the vineyards.

As if that wasn't enough, guests are also blessed with a tennis court, which can be found about 500m from the home.

With this much to occupy you at the address, you just might never feel the need to leave, but San Gimignano – about 3km away – is well worth a visit. Don't just take our word, though –The historic centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Both the cities of Siena and Florence are close enough to warrant a day trip, too.

A fifteen-minute stroll will take you into the small country village of Vico d’Elsa, where you’ll find a fabulous pizzeria and a restaurant, as well as somewhere to stock up on groceries – ideal if you’re planning to cook on the barbecue. 

San Gimignano and its iconic towers are a twenty-two-minute drive. It’s a wonderful day trip – spend your time meandering around the narrow cobbled streets, stopping to enjoy coffee and gelato in a piazza, and soaking up the atmosphere of this historic town. 

Whether you spend your visit traversing the towns of Tuscany or prefer to stay close to home, you’ll be happy to have chosen this lovely spot.

This hilltop haven is perfect for those looking for a quiet, calm and restful stay in Tuscany. The villa can be found thirteen minutes outside of Asciano, with its medieval centre, amid stunning rolling countryside that catches the eye from every angle. 

The villa has been restored from an elegant country house, so it retains lots of lovely Tuscan charm ¬– think heavy wood beams, terracotta accents and a classic stone facade. The layout is quirky, with two loft spaces housing the bedrooms – the plus side to all the stairs is that the views are incredible. 

The countryside that surrounds this home is lush and green, with plenty of nearby routes for hikers to get stuck into. It’s also very close to Chianti country, so you might like to seek out a vineyard tour, or at the very least pick up a bottle to enjoy on the terrace one evening. 

In terms of day trips, you can’t do better than driving thirty-five minutes to Siena. It’s a glorious city to explore, with its rich history and a wealth of fantastic restaurants. After a day out, head back to the villa for a dip in the pool in the early evening – it’s a splendid spot for a sunset swim.
