Stay in this old Tuscan farmhouse if you’re looking for a serene escape surrounded by unspoilt nature. The garden is a real highlight with its private pool, bordered by lawns, tall oaks and cypress trees. There’s also an outdoor living area with a ping pong table, a built-in barbecue and a wood-burning oven, as well as a covered dining area next to the traditional interior kitchen. The living room has plenty of character features such as stone arches, wooden beams and terracotta floors. The location is also great – it provides easy access to Tuscany's captivating towns and landscapes. Peccioli, a medieval town surrounded by vineyards, wheat fields and olive groves, is a short drive away.
