Treat yourself to a relaxing stay at this rustic villa in the heart of Chianti, one of the Old World’s best known wine regions. Fully renovated in 2016, this authentic Italian home will delight even the most discerning guest with its characterful design features – think wooden ceilings and gargantuan stone fireplaces – and comprehensive selection of modern amenities. There’s no shortage of activities to keep you busy here – whether it’s relaxing by the pool, playing board games by the fire, or perfecting your forehand on the private tennis court – but we wouldn’t blame you if all you wanted to do was sit back and take in the view. Settle into one of the chairs in the garden and gaze out at the Tuscan hills while your private chef gets to work in the kitchen. When you’re ready to eat, gather everyone round whichever dining table takes your fancy – there are plenty of options here – and enjoy a leisurely lunch under the midday sun before heading out on a gentle hike through the gorgeous countryside. If you want to explore further afield, hop in the car and set off for Radda in Chianti where you’ll find...
