While away spectacular sunny days lost in the pages of a good book by the pool, drink fantastic local wines as you relax in the bubbling Jacuzzi, and tuck into Tuscan classics cooked on the brick barbecue at this beautiful countryside chic apartment located within a spectacular villa close to the charming hilltop village of Rigomagno. The interior is a typically Tuscan affair, with terracotta tiled floors underfoot, a large brick fireplace to gather around, and earth tones that soothe the soul, all sitting beneath an exposed beam ceiling. In the bedroom, elegantly draped material adds a touch of Renaissance drama, while the spacious marble bathroom is perfect for post-pool pampering sessions. Step into the shared outdoor space, and you'll find yourself surrounded by eighteen acres of pristine protected forest, with breathtakingly beautiful walks departing right from the front door. In addition to the stunning gardens (complete with table football, table tennis and a playground), you can up your relaxation game at the thermal baths in Rapolano Terme, a fifteen-minute drive away. If you'd like to explore further afield, the lovely medieval city of Siena and the hilltop Renaissance town of Montepulciano are well within day-trip distance, with both approximately half an hour's... drive away.

About Val di Chiani
Situated in the southeast of Tuscany, stretching all the way from Arezzo to the province of Orvieto in Umbria, Val di Chiani is a patchwork of olive groves, grassy plains and thick forests. Ochre villages and towns fleck the landscape – Montepulciano is a particular favourite, famed for its Vino Nobile wine that pairs perfectly with a plate of Tuscan wild boar pasta.
