Located just outside the medieval town of Vinci, the birthplace of the town's most famous son is within easy walking distance of this charming villa. Inside, the home takes inspiration from Leonardo, with thoughtfully curated paintings adorning the walls, wicker sofas in the living room and beautifully carved wooden beds. When in Tuscany though, outdoors is always best. Set atop a hill, you'll take in panoramic views of alluring landscapes that stretch as far as the eye can see. Cool off with a few casual laps of the private courtyard pool, surrounded by aromatic herbs, colourful flowers and centuries-old olive trees. Later on, sit down to an alfresco dinner at one of the many outdoor seating areas. After following in the footsteps of greatness, you’re sure to return home feeling inspired.
