Tucked away on the Tuscan hillside, this home is an idyllic retreat for larger groups seeking a slice of dolce vita. Tiled floors, exposed beams and warm tones stay true to the house’s origins and also provide a cool respite from sweltering summer temperatures outside. Upon arriving, drop your bags and dive straight into the impossibly large pool, or if swimming isn’t your thing, retreat to the library and curl up with a good book. Dinners are a breeze thanks to the wood-fired pizza oven – you can even pick your own toppings from the vegetable garden – what could be better than that? If can bear to leave your remote Tuscan idyll, you're within striking distance of Florence, just over an hour away, which is the birthplace of the Renaissance movement and one of the world's greatest art cities.

Host


This home is managed by Oliver

This home is managed directly by a business. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Nearly twenty years ago, Oliver and his friend began curating the world's most unique and rustic getaways. Driven by their own unforgettable experience at a chateau, they have grown remarkably since then. Much like Plum, they believe in hand-picked luxury that doesn't break the bank.

This home is nominated for the Plum Guide Award.
