Nestled in the Tuscan hills, this charming home is tailor-made for family getaways. With a main house and separate annexe, it’s an ideal base for those who want to holiday together yet still enjoy some private time. Packed full of charm inside, you’ll find everything needed for a comfortable stay here, along with bedrooms all boasting their own en-suite. But for us, the star of the show is the outdoor space. A private pool, alfresco dining opportunities, and far-reaching views across the Tuscan countryside from the sun-kissed terraces – what’s not to love? If you can tear yourself away, Lucca is just a ten-kilometre drive, and well worth a visit.
