You'll find plenty of places to take advantage of the Tuscan sun at this romantic villa, set only a few minutes from historic Lucca. Of course, the private swimming pool is the biggest draw – make a splash in the crystal-clear water first-thing each morning, then paddle over to the Jacuzzi corner and relax in the bubbles with a cocktail in hand. Later on, lounge on either of the two balconies with a glass of local wine, then dig into an Italian feast on the patio as the stars come out. The design inside is as charming as can be – we're swooning over the subtle geometric wallpaper, wood-beamed ceilings and those classic terracotta floors. Split between two different villas, you'll have more than enough space to spread out – and contemporary comforts like rainfall showers and sleek kitchens will ensure every 21st-century whim is met. Location-wise, you're just ten minutes by car from Lucca – the Renaissance-era streets are perfect for a wander. A bit further away are Volterra, Montecarlo and Siena, making this an ideal spot to explore Tuscany's rolling countryside and postcard-worthy scenery.
