The tranquil beauty of the Tuscan countryside is all around at this palatial villa fringing the hillside town of Peccioli. The historic farmhouse is part of a renowned biodynamic wine-growing estate, so you’ll have Italian wine culture on tap here. And don’t get us started on the tastefully appointed interiors and private pool. Fancy a change of scene? You’ll need a car to get around as the home is remote. Start with the Tuscan gems, Volterra and San Gimignano – just a short drive away. Or, for a dose of sea air – take a scenic drive to the coast, just 55 kilometres away.

About San Miniato
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.
