Traditional and romantic, this charming Tuscan home is in wine country, and we can practically smell the freshly uncorked Chianti from here. Beautiful to look at, both inside and out, and surrounded by lovely gardens, this is the kind of place where everything can just slow right down. Stroll to the pool for a morning swim, laze in the hammock in the shade of the trees, and casually put together delightful meals using the finest local ingredients. Inside, there are tiled floors, shuttered windows and exposed timbers, making for a rustic feel. There's a country kitchen for dining inside, but we're guessing you'll make the most of the covered terrace and eat alfresco each and every day. There’s nothing better than a wine tasting experience in these parts, so we recommend you sample the product at the Castello di Albola winery, just a ten-minute drive away. And if you're tempted to head off for a cultural day out, the stunning Renaissance city of Siena is just fifty minutes away.
