Between the ancient majesty of Florence and the walled city of Lucca, this stately residence will drop you straight into 19th Century Tuscany. This rousing region of Italy is a sight to behold, and it’s easy to believe the landscape hasn’t changed much since this home was first built. The history of the province runs deep and leads straight through the centre of this grand villa. Each of the rooms has its own thrilling touch of a bygone age, with guests getting to live a piece of it. Take a quiet moment with a good book in one of the parlours, or head out onto the lawn and sip your morning espresso with nothing but the birds and the stunning views. Days can be spent topping up the perfect holiday tan and cooling off with a plunge in the private pool, or perhaps if you're more musically inclined, entertain the other guests with a tinkle of the ivories on the home's piano, which can be found in one of the beautiful parlours. One of our favourite rooms is the detached dining hall with its curved ceiling and long table. It speaks of grand old parties where the wine flowed well... into the early hours. This is a villa of a golden age, a haven of exploration, and a memorable place to assemble your crew for a getaway. For those looking to get out and see the sights, the breathtaking city of Florence is a little under an hour's drive away, and boasts a wealth of shopping, dining, and sightseeing opportunities, including Galleria dell'Accademia and Basilica di Santa Croce, or if getting back to nature is what you're looking for, you're in luck. Grab your most comfortable walking shoes and lose yourself in the wilds of the Florentine countryside, right from your front door.

About Pistoia
It might not make the headlines like nearby Florence or Lucca, but Pistoia is just as packed with culture, history and Tuscan charm. Those who visit will find the Piazza del Duomo could rival the Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence and the bar-filled Piazza della Sala could give the squares of Bologna a run for their money as the ideal spot for aperitivo. In the historic streets, restaurants offer...
