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.

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.

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.

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

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.

An open space in a sixteenth-century building, in the hilly outskirts of Florence that, at time at times, has been both a stables and a nightclub, Thermae is one of the most spectacular places we’ve seen in Italy. Its restoration has been a labour of love for the host, Giovanni, and the way that he’s incorporated technology into the original structure is simply impressive. There’s too much to describe here, but know that everything's been taken care of. And if we did have to choose one thing that stood out, it might have to be the pool, hidden away in the vaults, and only accessible through a trapdoor.

This charming villa, which is built around a medieval chapel, is the perfect blend of character and comfort. There are still hints of history here, like the carefully-preserved original frescoes in the chapel, alongside all the modern touches you need for a relaxing stay. The rooms are cosy and inviting, with plenty of space to stretch out, but the real highlight of this home is waiting outside. The house is on a hill, so the grounds offer glorious, 360-degree views of the surrounding countryside – views you can soak up while swimming in the pool or lounging in the sunshine. If shopping or sightseeing are on the agenda, jump in the car and discover the delights of Bologna, one of Italy’s most beautiful cities.

Head into the Tuscan hills just outside the charming village of Cellai and keep an eye out for an imposing villa with its own bell tower. Almost unbelievably, this stunning property will be your home from home for however long you decide to stay.

Step inside your apartment, and you'll discover a typically Tuscan scene, with tiled terracotta floors, exposed wooden ceilings and frescoes painted directly on the walls. Four individually decorated bedrooms, each as enchanting as the last, will serve as your soothing sanctuaries for you to unwind at the end of each day. The spacious interior includes not one but two seating areas, so you can always claim a secluded spot as your own for the afternoon if you want to get lost in the pages of a good book. Meanwhile, the kitchen and dining area are perfect for sociable meals with family and friends in true Italian style. 

Outside in the shared garden, you'll find yourself surrounded by pristine landscaped gardens with a vine-covered pergola, terraced seating and perhaps most importantly, a pool. 

Start each day by visiting Forno La Chiocciola, where you can stock up on fresh bread, including Florentine speciality flatbread, schiaccata. Then, when you're not laying out on poolside loungers and sipping wine in the sun, the stunning Renaissance city of Florence is less than half an hour away. Why not get to know the artistic, architectural and cultural history of Tuscany, spending an afternoon or three wandering its streets and taking it all in. 


The Legendary Giulia

Outdoor Shower

This enchanting villa is situated in the understated and under-appreciated Tuscan town of Empoli. While it's not far from the heart of the town, you'd never believe it, given the cypress-lined drive that leads up to its stunning neoclassical facade.

Stark white dominates all areas of this home, leaving it gleaming under the glorious summer sun. Inside, relax beneath soaring moulded ceilings and enjoy the cool marble floors underfoot as you wander from room to room. Perhaps the most impressive aspect of all is the main bedroom, with its private sitting room, dressing room and gorgeous bathroom with pool views from the unique round tub, plus a dazzling terrace for exclusive use. 

For those who appreciate their privacy, the en-suite attic room can be completely cordoned off. It even has its own kitchen, living room and fully furnished pocket terrace. Meanwhile, the basement offers a relaxing wellness area at the bottom of the house and leads out to the inviting pool and adjacent outdoor dining area.

Step out onto the streets and you're just a ten-minute walk from the centre of town. It's well worth paying a visit to the fascinating Museum of Glass one afternoon before stopping off at Piazza della Vittoria for an aperitivo. If you're feeling adventurous, renowned restaurant Trippéria serves up lampredotto, a traditional dish made from the fourth and final stomach of a cow. Meanwhile, if you feel like exploring further afield, the stunning cities of Pisa and Florence are both a little over half an hour away.

It may be less than a thirty-minute drive from the spectacular Renaissance city of Florence, but this home feels like another world. Located up in the hills, you'll discover a spectacular villa – complete with a clock tower – just outside the small village of Cellai, where time seems to stand still. 

Pad across terracotta-tiled floors, with wood beam ceilings above, and discover rooms filled with character and charm, where period features and modern touches sit effortlessly alongside one another. Nowhere is this better displayed than in the contemporary kitchen and adjoining dining room with its antique stove. Each of the four bedrooms blends rustic charm with supreme comfort, while the bathrooms are fitted out with beautiful tiles and gleaming marble for a touch of luxury.

Step outside and you'll discover a lush landscape of terraced gardens, an inviting pool and breathtaking views over the Tuscan terrain. Your hosts recommend making the trip to Forno La Chiocciola, where you can stock up on Florentine speciality flatbread, schiaccata, each morning. Afterwards, place yourself poolside and settle in for a day of sunbathing, interrupted only by refreshing dips in the water and trips to the kitchen to get some more of that delicious bread.

Located just outside the atmospheric medieval town of Pian di Scò, this stunning villa offers an idyllic countryside retreat, perfect for spending quality time with family and friends under the Italian sun. Thanks to the secluded garden, private outdoor pool and covered porch, you'll be able to enjoy the alfresco lifestyle throughout your stay. 

Step inside, through any of several French doors lining the villa's facade, and you'll uncover a traditional Tuscan interior with rustic terracotta tiled floors, antique furniture and plenty of exposed wood. Elsewhere, each of the four individually decorated bedrooms boasts its own en-suite. 

There are several other properties and shared facilities on the farm, including a vast library with a wide selection of books and magazines, a theatre for hosting musical events, and a network of walkways crisscrossing the grounds that'll lead you on enchanting walks through mature forests, passing streams and waterfalls along the way. If that all sounds a bit sedate, your hosts will happily arrange white-knuckle mountain bike rides along trails in the nearby forests. 

Elsewhere, the area is dotted with charming small towns and hilltop hamlets that are a delight to explore. Further afield, but well within day-trip distance, the Renaissance cities of Florence and Arrezzo are well worth an afternoon's exploration.

Natural beauty, wellbeing and stylish interiors combine in this hilltop Tuscan hideaway. Perfect for celebrating life’s special moments, every detail of this 19th-century home sings with the natural abundance of its surroundings. And with multiple living spaces, both inside and out, you’ll find it easy to sit back and savour up the laid-back pace of rural living. 

Wake up early and enjoy unforgettable sunrises, gather for Italian-inspired meals under the trees, embrace impromptu dips in the heated pool and find a wonderful sense of relaxation in the air-conditioned bedrooms. However you choose to spend your time here, every moment promises to be enriched by the unique charm of this location. 

From here, days can be spent sightseeing in Montecatini Alto, indulging the senses with spa treatments in Montecatini Terme (4 km away) or simply exploring the countryside on foot or by bike. And for explorations further afield, take day trips to the majestic cities of Florence, Pisa or Lucca (all within driving distance).

With its hilltop setting in Tuscany, this home offers a picturesque escape. Olive trees and vineyards surround the home, composed of two villas restored to incorporate original features and charming decor. It’s the outside space that really stands out here, with stunning views of the sweeping Tuscan countryside, a beautiful alfresco dining space, and two salt-water swimming pools. The villas are perfect for large groups, though at full occupancy, two guests will sleep on a sofa bed and one will sleep on a single bed in a walk-through room.

Elegant and unique, this home makes for an excellent base in Tuscany. It’s in the village of Impruneta on the outskirts of Florence, surrounded by countryside, olive groves and vineyards – it also borders the Chianti Classico region. The centre of Florence is only 13 kilometres away, making day trips a breeze. The decor is traditional, with antiques at every turn, so it may not suit everyone. But for a break to Italy that feels a little like stepping back in time, it’s a great choice. 

The Falling Stones

Whether you're after a peaceful holiday with friends or a spacious spot for a family gathering, this restored farmhouse is an excellent choice. It's situated on a private country estate in the charming village of Lamporecchio, Tuscany, and has well-tended secret gardens, as well as olive groves to explore. This breathtaking property is spread over two floors and benefits from a private patio and communal pool area – the latter of which is shared with four neighbouring properties. We love the master suite with its fireplace – a welcome feature during the cooler months. We suggest a car for ease –  there are restaurants less than 2km away and the pretty town of Montecatini is 15km from the home.

With a spacious interior, plenty of period features and an inviting outdoor area – there's a lot to love about this recently renovated apartment, which is set within a traditional Tuscan farmhouse and purposely tucked out of the way in the gently rolling hills.

Thick stone walls, cool tiled floors, and exposed wooden ceilings lend this ground-floor residence a traditional vibe, while the gorgeous pool entices you to spend most of your days outside under the summer sun. In addition to the gorgeous shared spaces, the home also benefits from a private outdoor area where you're free to grill up gourmet offerings. Every meal here (except for breakfast... probably) will benefit from being accompanied by beautiful extra virgin olive oil and a mouthwatering medium-bodied chianti – all made by your host, Nicola.

Away from home, Montespertoli – one of Tuscany's renowned wine capitals – is just a five-minute drive, while the stunning Renaissance city of Florence is 35km away. No trip to Tuscany would be complete without at least one day spent exploring this bucket-list-topping destination. 

Wine in Your Water Glass

Sauna

This beautiful home can be found in Reggello, close to Florence and only 4 kilometres from some of the best shopping in Tuscany. It’s a modern home-from-home, cool and comfortable, with a delightful outside space. A private pool sits in a vibrant garden filled with flowers and aromatic plants, where there’s a barbecue for alfresco dining, and an air-conditioned gym. Sliding doors connect the relaxing garden with the stylish villa, with its open-plan living and dining space. You won’t want to leave.

Just a stone's throw away from Leonardo da Vinci’s birthplace, you’ll find this villa, surrounded by a small garden and beautiful views of the Tuscan countryside. There’s a shaded terrace, private pool and sundeck here to enjoy the Italian sun. Inside, there are plenty of character features and a mix of antique and modern furnishings, as well as more vistas from the bedroom windows over the landscape. When you feel like exploring, the Casa Natale di Leonardo museum is within walking distance, while the medieval town of Vinci is a short drive away.

Leonardo's Place

EV Charger

Surrounded by olive groves, vineyards, and rolling hills, this hay barn conversion offers a tranquil escape. Step outside to the garden, where you'll find a private pool with panoramic vistas. Forming part of a farmstead, this two-storey home has plenty of Tuscan character and there’s a luxurious bathroom complete with a sauna and spa shower. Here, you can immerse yourself in the serenity of the Tuscan countryside while enjoying easy access to nearby towns such as Reggello, 2 kilometres away.

A Home's Embrace      

Located just outside the medieval town of Vinci, the birthplace of the town's most famous son is within easy walking distance of this charming villa. Inside, the home takes inspiration from Leonardo, with thoughtfully curated paintings adorning the walls, wicker sofas in the living room and beautifully carved wooden beds. When in Tuscany though, outdoors is always best. Set atop a hill, you'll take in panoramic views of alluring landscapes that stretch as far as the eye can see. Cool off with a few casual laps of the private courtyard pool, surrounded by aromatic herbs, colourful flowers and centuries-old olive trees. Later on, sit down to an alfresco dinner at one of the many outdoor seating areas. After following in the footsteps of greatness, you’re sure to return home feeling inspired. 

When In Vinci

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

Already built by the 17th century, according to the Medici maps drawn up then, this medieval borghi might even be decades older. Though we're unsure of its age, there's no doubt of its beauty. The interior with exposed beams and brick is what you'd expect from an older home, but the traditional style might feel dated to some. Still, it's comfortable and charming, giving way to a sweeping garden. Kids will love the opportunity to run around on the lush green grass whilst adults take advantage of the sun loungers, poolside and terrace seating. Our favourite is the dining table under the vine-covered pergola. You'll find the renowned spas of Casciana Terme or Monsummano Terme minutes away.

Tuscan Essence

Located in the picturesque area of Valdarno, in a farmland territory off the beaten track lies this gorgeous villa. An ancient stone bridge will lead you to the entrance of this home, up on the first floor, where you can sink into the plush sofas and make yourself right at home. The loggia by the kitchen brings the outdoors in and helps this home feel like perpetual summertime. There are plenty of communal facilities within the farm for guests to take advantage of, including a pool where you can catch some rays or escape the summer heat in the calm waters, or a library for those who want to do some work or study, or who are just looking for something new to read. Treat yourself to an in-house massage or a scenic walk along the stream of the private natural park under clear blue skies.

This home is perfect for those who want to get away from everything and reconnect with nature – you'll find yourself immersed in olive groves and forests, bursting with native plants and wildlife. Natural water springs and expansive wooded areas allow you to go on some truly scenic walks, challenging hikes, or even a family picnic. Book a tour at the on-site olive factory where you'll get a taste of some freshly-made olive oil, or see a show at the on-site theatre. It's easy to get the most out of your holiday before you've even left the park, but a day trip up to Florence or down to Arezzo will give you that perfect variety.

The Stonewall

Heated Pool

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.

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

Enjoying a panoramic position in the rolling Tuscan hills, this traditional villa is surrounded by beautiful countryside. Having undergone careful restoration, many of this home's original features are still intact, so you can expect terracotta floor tiles, vaulted ceilings and a working fireplace. Head up the stairs to the mezzanine level and you'll find a cosy living room beneath rustic wooden beams. Outside, you'll have your own private garden, complete with a pretty patio where you can sip coffee and enjoy a home-cooked breakfast. Spend the day chilling out by the infinity pool or jump in the car and head out to explore, the choice is yours.

A trip to Montelupo Fiorentino is highly recommended. The Medieval hilltop town has an air of old-world ambiance, thanks to castles and churches that date back to the Middle Ages. Wander around the colourful streets lined with pastel-stuccoed buildings or pay a visit to the archeological museum to learn more about the area's rich past.

When you get home after a busy day, fire up the barbecue and tuck into an alfresco feast on the patio. Be sure to pick up a bottle of local wine (Montelupo is known for its quality Chianti wine) and then jump in the hot tub to relax and watch a spectacular Tuscan sunset.
