Collina Castelfalfi

  • 10 guests

  • 5 bedrooms

  • 4 bathrooms

    +1 extra toilet

Surrounded by the rolling Tuscan hills yet mere moments from the town of Castelfalfi and just under an hour from Florence and Livorno, this elegant home is a living embodiment of the phrase “have your cake and eat it too”. Secluded yet conveniently located, the villa is made up of a main house and separate cottage, which share a large garden and tranquil pool area. Should you wish proceedings to become a little less tranquil, however, the poolside music system is bound to get the party started. Combining traditional architectural features like open beams and wooden ceilings with cutting-edge Italian design, this home has a timeless quality that makes spending time inside just as enjoyable as sitting out on the terrace in the Tuscan sunshine. On chillier evenings, gather round one of the two televisions and make use of Apple TV, Sky, Netflix, and a Play Station. Come the morning, the resident full-time maid will prepare a delicious breakfast.

About Tuscany

Perhaps the first region to come to mind when you think of holidays in Italy, there’s no denying Tuscany’s beauty. The term “Rolling hills” could have been coined here, where grapes ripen on vines in the folds of the valleys and ancient towns crown hilltops.
