Located in the heart of Tuscany, this apartment lies on a sustainable farm a short walk from the medieval village of San Donato in Poggio. For couples or small families looking for a stay amongst nature with a slow pace of life, look no further. The communal pool offers refreshing solace during the summer months and kids will love playing in the vast grounds, equipped with alfresco seating and gorgeous views. The apartment itself is old-fashioned but oh-so cosy, and while there's no oven or stove in the kitchen, you won't go hungry with the wood-burning oven on the terrace and the barbecue beneath the olive trees, not to mention the eateries and wineries of the surrounding villages.
