In the middle of the Tuscan countryside, this lavish home marries the serenity of a rural retreat with the amenities of a five-star hotel. The facilities in the home are closer to what you’d expect from an LA mansion, rather than a traditional Tuscan farmhouse. With everything from saunas and Turkish baths to an outdoor Jacuzzi and a pool table, this is the perfect place to treat yourself. An indoor bar makes sure you're fully refreshed at all times, and the luscious outdoor space is the perfect place to enjoy each sip. We recommend chilling in the pool with a glass of wine to make the most of your Tuscan paradise. When the sun shines on the palatial grounds, the open-air table is an idyllic spot for alfresco dining. Sample the crisp reds and fresh whites of the local vineyards, complemented by quintessential Italian cuisine. Make sure to gather at one of the seating areas to watch the gorgeous tones of the sun setting beneath the beautiful scenery. If you'd prefer a cosy night in, the deluxe sofa area is a cosy place to snuggle up with a film and good conversation.
