A hideaway in the Tuscan countryside, this beautiful home has an air of old Italy about it, without sacrificing modern comforts. Surrounded by the gold and green hills, it's a home for those who want to take a break from the everyday and bring the entire family along to do it with. With two houses and a sprawling garden, there is definitely enough room to accommodate everyone. In the mornings, step outside for an espresso before taking a refreshing dip in the pool. Relax under the Italian sun on one of the loungers — or retreat to the covered pergola with a good book. Inside, the home has retained many of its original features, including wood-beamed ceilings, an open stone hearth in the living room, and tall, arched windows looking out over the grounds. Sunflower-yellow walls throughout are sure to put a smile on your face. When golden hour hits, step outside to take in views of the Tuscan countryside, golden-hued and changing by the second, this is what the term 'sundowner' was made for.
