With a team of staff on-hand to help at this decadent home, you won't have to lift a fingertip during your stay. Spread across a main house, guest house and suite, you also won't have to compromise on space. The swimming pool, Roman baths, and sauna ensure relaxation. When you're not traversing the hundreds of acres on bicycle or horseback, the on-site observatory allows you to admire the stars. We think some of the decor is a little dated, and it might not be to everyone's taste. But whether you're throwing a wedding, a yoga or tai chi retreat, or you're simply looking for a scenic escape to the Tuscan countryside, this home has it all.
