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.
