This stunning Tuscan villa is perfect for groups of family or friends looking to unwind in style. The villa is tucked away in the beautiful Tuscan countryside, surrounded by trees and greenery so it feels a million miles from the hustle and bustle. Yet when you want to dine out or embark on a tour, you need only drive 8 kilometres to reach historic San Gimignano. There’s plenty to keep you entertained at the villa, too, with a private pool and a pergola that’s ideal for alfresco dining. Your host can even organise a private chef for you, so all you have to do is sit back, relax, and enjoy.

Home truths
We recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. There’s free parking at this home.
The swimming pool is open from 10th May to 30th September.
Your host can provide a cot for little ones on request.
The fireplace is ornamental.
While not every bathroom has been photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
There are stairs to climb here, so it may not be suitable for those with reduced mobility.
Other than the pool, there isn't much here to entertain kids. We suggest bringing along some cards or board games.
The traditional decor here may not be to everyone's taste. It feels a little dated, and the outdoor furniture could also use an upgrade.

Today’s tourists will be only too happy to learn that much of the Tuscan city’s historic centre remains unchanged since...
