This Italian farmhouse stands amid 30 hectares of private fields, woodlands, and landscaped gardens. You’ll share this space with nine retired racehorses, who graze freely on the grounds – you can even bring your own horses to share their stables. The home is grand yet tasteful, with curios in every corner – some of the decor has been used in Valentino campaigns. With a shallow fountain pool, an 1800-metre running track, and a vegetable patch the private chefs use for your meals, this home is bound to impress.

Host
This home is managed by Oliver
