This 18th-century stone villa is surrounded by picturesque hills and olive groves – where better to spend a Tuscan retreat? This historic home, furnished with antiques, might be a little traditional for some, but it invites you to step into the past while enjoying modern comforts. There’s an infinity pool and hydromassage area, gym equipment and a kitted-out kitchen here – your host even provides ingredients for a welcome dinner and continental breakfast on arrival. Outside, indulge in alfresco dining on the veranda while the children make the most of the play area. And with mountain bikes provided by your host (there are four available), you’re all set to explore the area.
