Tranquil doesn’t even begin to describe this wonderful apartment. It’s tucked away in the hills above Bagni di Lucca, in a tiny village that’s quiet even in the height of summer. You’ll share the grounds and outdoor pool with four villas, but there’s plenty of space. Stunning views can be admired from almost every angle here, with far-reaching vistas of the surrounding hills and forests. The apartment is rustic in style, with exposed stone walls and terracotta floor tiles. It’s the perfect retreat for a romantic getaway.

Herb Garden

Outdoor Shower

In the green hills of Mugello, this villa offers the peace and tranquillity of the countryside but is just a forty-minute drive from Florence. Head to Italy’s capital of culture to explore the endless collections of the Ufizzi and dine overlooking the Ponte Vecchio. 

The home itself is traditionally stone-built, with the wooden ceilings on show, an old hearth in the dining room and the farm’s well still on display. Sprawling grounds house a swimming pool with a view over the rolling hills beyond, and a rustic-style loggia for outdoor dining – perfect when you're serving something cooked with fresh vegetables straight from the home's veggie patch. The stone-built, wood-fired barbecue is ideal for summer evenings. 

Apart from Tuscan farmhouse tradition, inside you’ll find some vintage touches like a wireless radio from the early 20th century, and antique furnishings. The old kitchen has been preserved with museum-like care (with a traditional bread over that still works), but the modern kitchen is a sleek, professional affair with slate-grey units and a huge island at its core. 

The town of Scarperia e San Piero is a four-minute drive away to stock up on supplies and there’s even a country restaurant just behind this home if you don’t fancy driving.

Bathtub

Private Pool

Nestled on a hilltop, just a short drive from Bologna, this villa is part of a luxury resort – so you can enjoy peace and privacy along with the perks of resort life. Inside, it’s elegant and modern, with hints of heritage character, like timber beams and original stonework. Our favourite feature has to be the pool – big enough to swim leisurely laps, with a hot tub area for soothing aching muscles after a day spent sightseeing. When you’re not out and about exploring, you can sample the resort’s many amenities, including a spa, three restaurants, and no less than seven outdoor swimming pools. Afterwards, you can retreat to your very own villa – a sanctuary that’s just for you.

This stunning villa is hidden away in the secluded countryside of Tuscany, just thirty minutes from Florence. The Tuscan farmhouse boasts a private heated swimming pool, 4 acres of gardens, and striking views of the Schifanoia Valley. Just beyond the gardens, which are filled with centuries-old oaks, chestnut trees, and Mediterranean flowers, you’ll be able to admire the estate’s sunflowers. The idyllic setting makes this home perfect for relaxing holidays. There's even friendly staff on hand to ensure that your stay goes without a hitch, including daily chef's breakfast, daily housekeeping, on-site concierge, and linen changes twice a week.

Canopy of Elegance

This Tuscan Villa caught our eye for its lush garden, surrounded by trees – you’ll certainly feel like you’ve escaped to the country when you’re lounging by the pool here. Located in the Mugello Valley, you’re a short drive from Borgo San Lorenzo, where you’ll find shops and restaurants, and 36 kilometres from the ever-popular Florence. While the kitchen area is small and there isn’t a huge amount of space for preparing meals, there’s a barbecue outside and the covered loggia is perfect for alfresco dining.

Mugello Retreat

Although this home is situated on an estate, just a ten-minute walk from communal amenities, including restaurants, bars and a spa, guests staying here have their own garden and infinity swimming pool with a hot tub. Daily housekeeping means you won’t have to lift a finger and if you’d like a professional to take care of mealtimes, a private chef service can be arranged. Should you fancy a change of scenery, Bologna is reached in around twenty minutes by car, while Modena is reached in about an hour.

This beautiful apartment is located in a restored 18th-century farmhouse on an historic estate. It’s just outside of the charming town of Scarperia and only thirty minutes from Florence, tucked away amid rolling countryside. It’s an excellent area for cycling, with bikes and e-bikes available for hire – exploring the scenic routes and nearby vineyards is a delightful way to spend a day. The apartment features a vaulted roof and simple, fuss-free decor. It’s a comfortable and charming base for a holiday, and you’ll have access to the communal gardens and heated plunge pool – what more could you ask for? 

Tuscan Splendour

Balcony / Patio

Racing fans might know Mugello for its circuit, but away from the petrol and screeching tyres, the Mugello countryside is a truly serene Tuscan gem. Just a twenty-five-minute drive from this famous track, and an hour from Florence, this rustic villa is a charming escape to rural life. Set on sloped, landscaped gardens with leafy trees, trailing foliage, and bright Mediterranean flowers, its traditional airs give way to some playful features. Keep the kids entertained with football on the five-a-side pitch in the garden, or head inside via the basement for foosball and a vintage pinball machine (‘big kids’ also welcome). Some might prefer a swim in the private pool, or sipping a negroni on one of the multiple patios, the choice is yours. You’ll also have plenty of choice for indoor relaxation, with three living rooms – one for every floor – and a delightful terrace upstairs where you can sip your espresso every morning. After a day exploring the rolling hills of Tuscany in the hot sun, we can’t think of anything better than coming home to a chilled glass of prosecco in this rural manor.

Negroni Gardens

This former hunting lodge was once used by the wealthy and powerful Medici family. Steeped in history, it sits in the green hills of the Florentine Mugello, with its own large gardens surrounded by vineyards. There are remnants of the past everywhere, with ancient beamed ceilings, archways and tiled floors, but it's been carefully brought up to date with an eclectic mix of vintage and modern furnishings. And need we point out those fabulous chandeliers in some of the bedrooms? Take the sweeping steps down to the pool or pull up a lounger amid the scented flowers and lemon trees. Walking in the garden here, you’ll also find an area dedicated to aromatic herbs – the perfect addition to a Tuscan lunch in the dining area under a wisteria-covered pergola. It's just a short drive to the freshwater oasis of Lake Bilancino and a day trip to Florence is no more than forty minutes away by car.

Hounds Of Medici

Games Console

Found within a luxurious estate, this opulent villa has access to it all – you'll find a wellness spa, gym, tennis and basketball court and driving range at your disposal. And though those are shared, the private pool with a view of the rolling green landscape is all yours, and so is the vine-covered pergola, perfect for chef-prepared alfresco meals. Food lovers will find Bologna especially seductive, considering the many famous restaurants that sit amongst historic cathedrals, museums, and bars, but Modena can also be reached by car and motorsport enthusiasts can Imola Autodrome minutes away.

Casa di Vittorio

Racers, start your engines and head straight to this Tuscan farmhouse for the ride of your life. A ten-minute drive from Mugello’s famous International Racing Circuit, this home is an ideal stay for motorsports fans and thrill-seekers alike. Of course, it’s not all about speed. If you’re taking your holiday at a more sedate pace, we think you’ll love lounging by the pool and exploring the olive groves and vineyards of the surrounding countryside. With traditional arched doorways, aged wooden beams, and beautiful antique furniture, there’s no doubt you’re in the romantic region of Tuscany. The indoor dining room with its oil paintings and long family-style table next to the old hearth could almost rival the outdoor dining under the vine-clad pergola. This is an Italian escape that’ll get your heart racing. 

Grand Prix

Just over an hour away by train from lively Bologna, Brisighella is a charming medieval village straight out of a storybook. With its hilltop clock tower, narrow alleyways and ancient walkway, it's the definition of picturesque. And this villa on the outskirts of town is the perfect place to take it all in. Consisting of the main house and a small annexe, everything here feels bright and welcoming. There's a touch of that rustic warmth you'd expect from a country home in the knotted beams and stone floor, but otherwise, the design is all old-world elegance – imagine wingback chairs, canopy beds and glittering chandeliers. Outside, the panoramic views of the Tuscan Apennines take centre stage. Whether you're sipping wine under the pergola, taking a dip in the pool or enjoying home-cooked meals in the fresh air, you'll have a front-row seat to spectacular sunsets and sweeping night skies. Trust us – you'll never want to leave.

La Favola

Bread Maker

Tucked into the medieval village of Palazzuolo sul Senio and framed by the Apennine mountains, this villa blends rustic Tuscan charm with modern comfort. Inside, you’ll find exposed brickwork, timber-beamed ceilings, breezy interiors and sleek marble bathrooms. With space for up to 18 guests across the main house and two private apartments, it’s perfect for group getaways, family celebrations or intimate weddings. Outside, there's a tiered garden with a pool, hot tub and a feasting table for long, lazy lunches. And when you’re ready to explore, hiking trails, mountain biking routes and day trips to Florence await.

Apennine Escape

This pretty apartment sits in the estate of an 18th-century farmhouse, which has been lovingly restored into several attractive holiday homes. We love the lush communal gardens and the setting amid Tuscany’s scenic rolling countryside – cyclists will be particularly happy here, where bikes and e-bikes can be rented. The galleries and museums of Florence are only a thirty-minute drive away, and charming Scarperia is within easy reach too. The apartment is comfortable and cosy, equipped with everything you might need for a relaxing break in Italy. 

Country Canopy

For a relaxing stay in the pretty rolling countryside of Tuscany, you can’t do better than this charming apartment. It’s on the estate of a restored 18th-century farmhouse, sharing lush gardens and a heated plunge pool. The apartment boasts views of the surrounding scenery from large windows, and blends rustic charm with modern comfort – it’s a dreamy home-from-home. Florence is only thirty minutes away by car, and you’ll be even closer to the charming town of Scarperia. 

Terracotta & Sage

Sauna

Ideal for a family holiday in beautiful surroundings, this apartment is a great choice. It’s in a quiet part of the Tuscan countryside, surrounded by lush greenery and breathtaking mountain views. You’ll have access to the shared swimming pool and the communal sauna, so you can really relax during your stay. We also love that the apartment has a covered veranda with a barbecue, where you can enjoy alfresco feasts as a family. We recommend bringing a car so you can explore more of Tuscany. 

Casa del Muse

Set within an estate in the hills of Bologna, this villa is the perfect combination of privacy and convenience. The home itself has a private garden with a swimming pool, two Jacuzzis and alfresco dining terrace, while just a short stroll away you’ll find an impressive range of communal facilities which include a spa, tennis courts, driving range and children’s playground. You’ll also find a restaurant just 450 metres away, but if you fancy exploring a little further afield the famous city of Bologna is just a 20-minute drive away, where you’ll find an array of local eateries and majestic architecture. 

The Peaceful Piazza

Piano

Playground

If you’re looking to enjoy a relaxing holiday in Tuscany with a large group, this home could be the perfect match. The villa is spread between four buildings, so smaller family units can have their own space when you’re not all gathering together. When you do want to spend time as a big group, you’ll have plenty of room to do so. The outside space is stunning, with a natural pool and an outdoor veranda with a barbecue and pizza oven. There’s even a playground for little ones. Inside, the rustic home is full of charm and traditional Tuscan style. In summer, you can fish and swim at Santerno River, which is just 6 kilometres away. Bologna and Florence are excellent choices for day trips, too. 

Tuscan Heritage

Parking On Street

Situated on the edge of the village of Brandeglio, just a short drive from Lucca, this elegant Tuscan villa offers stunning views of the surrounding forests and hills. The outside areas are particularly enticing, with a large terrace, perfect for alfresco meals, and a swimming pool with breathtaking views. The inside emanates rustic charm, with plenty of comfy spots for the whole family to relax and enjoy some quality time – be it one of the two living rooms or the dining area, perfect for those family feasts. 

Tuscany's Magic

Lying within the verdant hillsides just outside of Bologna, this stone and plaster villa might look rustic on the outside but don't be deceived – this is a home for those that appreciate the finer things in life.

You only have to look at the large and colourful garden to see what we mean. Sitting in the middle is a swimming pool sure to be appreciated on hot summer afternoons, neighboured by loungers and not just one, but two hot tubs. Come dinner time, the alfresco table under the pergola is a wonderful spot for feasting while the sun goes down overhead.

The interior design lies on the contemporary side of things, with a soothingly bright colour palette, a chic taste in furnishings and a minimalist kitchen heavy on sleek surfaces. We have especially kind words for the bedroom suites, which have a refined elegance more typically seen in high-end hotels.

But wait, there's more. The villa sits within a large estate which has a wealth of communal amenities that guests can take advantage of, ranging from three restaurants and seven outdoor pools to opportunities for wine tasting in the cellar. The distinctive architecture and cultural institutions of Bologna are only 22km away, too.

What Fine Taste

Attractive and welcoming, this home was once a farmhouse. It’s been lovingly renovated, retaining the charm of the past while adding home comforts. Ideal for families, this home boasts a volleyball court, football pitch and ping pong table, along with a swimming pool. There’s a wood-fired oven outside, and a lovely outdoor dining set up. We recommend hiring a car so you can drive to nearby Ravenna and Forli, and admire the countryside on the way. 


The Renaissance Grand Tour

This charming stone villa is an ideal base for those seeking outdoor adventures. Nestled near the Apennines near Lucca, in summer you can hike, cycle, and climb, and in winter, you can ski. In the valleys of the Garfagnana, you can enjoy rafting and canyoning too – it really is a thrill-seekers' paradise. Back home, the villa has a warm, traditional Tuscan style, while the outdoor space was made for relaxing after a busy day. Soak in the pool, sip wine on the sun-kissed terraces and relive the day’s adventures – what’s not to love?

Chestnut & Vine

Shared Washing Machine

Picture peaceful moments on your private terrace, overlooking forest-topped hills. Or lounging beside the pretty shared pool in the Tuscan sunshine. This scenic apartment is petite yet perfectly charming, packing plenty of character into a small space. There’s a rustic kitchen for home-cooked meals, a cosy lounge, and a bedroom where you can wake up to views of those picturesque hills. Outside, you’ll find the communal pool – perfect for a refreshing dip. We love this home for a romantic retreat or solo getaway, in a tiny village that remains satisfyingly serene even in summer. It's day-trip distance from Lucca too – a fairy tale town where you can stroll or cycle the old city walls.

Stone Dreams

If you're seeking seclusion among the gorgeous Tuscan hills, this stone-built villa is the perfect escape. Offering elegant calm indoors and a beautiful range of outdoor spaces – including leafy green grounds, a private pool area, and multiple terraces with panoramic views for dining and reclining – this home feels like a true hideaway for couples or families in search of la dolce vita. The location is certainly remote – the nearby hamlet has around forty residents – but if you're keen to explore, you won't be far from the smaller spa town of Bagna di Lucca, while larger settlements like Lucca and Pisa can be reached in around an hour.

Chestnut Woods

Indoor Pool

Jacuzzi

Sauna / Steam Room

This home is a lesson in history, from the Roman era of lavish bathhouses and marble statues, to the present day. Spa days in the privacy of your home await with an indoor pool that could rival the ancient baths of old Rome and a sauna and Turkish hammam to complete the experience. And the state-of-the-art gym is a reminder that you’re still in the 21st century. On sunny days, pad from the indoor pool to the outdoor pool, lined with loungers. From here, a stairway leads to the rest of the gardens where 15,000 square metres are filled with marble statues, linden trees and vast lawns. You could get lost exploring each manicured area bursting with herbs and flowers. 

Heading inside this 17th-century villa, you’ll find sitting rooms adorned with frescoes, gilded mirrors and arched windows looking out over the vineyards and rolling hills of your locale. There are several lounges to choose from, but our favourite might have to be the art-deco-style room with its 1920s bar for rounds of cocktails and a grand piano to set the soundtrack yourself. There’s no denying that each bedroom and bathroom feels grand, as though designed for Italian nobility with marble finishes and Jacuzzi tubs. But, heading into the kitchen, the scene changes to one of farmhouse rusticana, with all the mod cons of the 21st century to help you cater for the group.

The location is a secluded one, tucked away amidst the agricultural landscape of Emilia Romagna (considered the larder of Italy). The Adriatic Sea is a short drive away should you wish to hit the beach and there are plenty of places to pause for an espresso or stock up on the famous produce of the region in the nearby town of Forli. One thing not to miss is the view from ‘The Balcony of Romagna’ at the medieval borgo of Bertinolo, just a kilometre away.
