Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
With rolling hills and the stretching horizon for company, this home is a perfect fit if you’re looking for a great location and even greater features. From here, take a drive to Florence where you can admire renaissance art before a pizza and pasta making class. Once done, put your newfound knowledge – and the dual barbecue and pizza oven back at the villa – to good use with dough skills and imaginative toppings. Also surrounding you are some of the most vibrant cafes and restaurants, as well as tourist attractions for the bucket list. Leaving might prove difficult though, especially when there's a spa, jacuzzi, and beautiful pool at your fingertips. After a morning spent focussing on wellness and rejuvenation, sink into the generous sofa and catch up on reading before an alfresco lunch under the poolside gazebo.
