Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This is a rural Italian escape to remember. This 18th-century home has been restored using local natural materials, ensuring its Tuscan heritage is in full view. The villa stands in unspoiled gardens within seemingly endless fields and woodland – you’ll feel a million miles from the hustle and bustle, but the shops, restaurants, and thermal springs of San Casciano dei Bagni are less than 5 kilometres away. You’ll need a car to explore the area, but your efforts will be rewarded with visits to some of Tuscany’s most picturesque spots.
