Succumb to the relaxing magic of the Tuscan countryside in this traditional stone brick villa. Surrounded by breathtaking olive groves and gently rolling hills, the setting is picture-postcard perfect. And with no one else around, immersed in the verdant countryside, you wouldn't think you're just a ten-minute drive from the nearby town, Montemurlo. Inside, the traditional decor invites you to embrace the laidback Tuscan lifestyle, centred around food, wine, and conversation. As soon as you walk through the door, you're met with the quintessential decor of a Tuscan house, with its original brick walls and wooden beamed ceilings. The kitchen is the heart of the home in most Italian homes, and this one is no different. Your lovely hosts run the local restaurant, so they certainly know the importance of a good kitchen. With stone brick vaulted ceilings, terracotta tiles, and a farmhouse-style dining table, it's the picture of country living. We love the traditional interior, but it's the gorgeous landscape that takes the cake. Outside the kitchen, a small bistro table is in a prime location for morning coffees and pastries, with an unforgettable view of the Tuscan hills. Spend hazy days soaking up the sun, reading your book on... the sun loungers, and occasionally taking a dip in the pool to cool off. When sunsets roll around, you'll be in awe of the purple and pink hues that take over the sky. Memorable dinners are spent around the large dining table, passing bread, olives, and meats around the table. But for something truly special, make the short journey to your host's delightful restaurant. Their fresh produce is sublime – their extra virgin olive oil was even awarded the seventh best in the world.
