Surround yourself with Tuscan vistas and the whole extended family, even the four-legged ones, at this gorgeous villa. Made up of four apartments with their own private entrances and living spaces, everyone will have room to stretch their legs. The private pool and lush gardens are well-equipped for alfresco living, boasting phenomenal views and space to dine under the sun or stars. We think you'll need a car here, as the remote location means you won't be able to rely on public transport to bring you to the doorstep. The charming town of Gambassi Terme is within walking distance, but for visiting lovely Tuscan towns like Montaione or Certaldo, it's definitely worth the drive.

Home truths
There is free parking outside for up to six cars. This home can't be reached by public transport, so we recommend hiring a car.
Well-behaved pets are welcome to join you with host approval.
The pool is open from 1st April to 31st October.
A free cot can be provided here.
At full capacity, five guests will sleep on double sofa beds and a single sofa bed. Two of the double beds are made up of two single frames pushed together.
There are a lot of stairs here, with the building split into four separate apartments with their own living spaces and kitchens.
The traditional decor might not be to everyone's taste. It feels a little dated and we think some areas could use a refresh. The tiles in some bathrooms look a little tired.

Halfway between Pisa and Florence, San Miniato is one of the most beautiful towns in Tuscany, and that’s saying something. It’s perched atop three hills overlooking the Arno valley, and the panoramas of the Tuscan hills live up to all expectations. The town centre is full of well-preserved medieval buildings, and has a particular concentration of churches – we’re particular fans of the Chiesa del Santissimo Crocifisso. Every November, San...
