The cherry on top of a bucolic Tuscan vista, this home feels grand yet cosy at the same time. With a sweeping centrepiece staircase and marble floors set next to wooden beams and exposed stonework, it’s part mini chateau, part homely farmhouse. The open-plan kitchen and dining room opens up onto the terrace, making outdoor living easy, and there’s another covered dining area outside, with glorious countryside views. Upstairs, there’s a separate snug for quiet evenings, which leads on up to the comfortable and refined bedrooms, furnished with traditional Italian pieces. Surrounded by verdant views, you’ll easily find a spot to unwind, whether it's reclining with an aperitivo or soaking tired legs in the shaded hot tub. There are hiking trails aplenty in the countryside around, through olive groves and vineyards. Just a 10-minute drive south of Lucca, this is a great spot for exploring Tuscany.
