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.

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.

Outdoors, you can relax in the garden with a glass of Sangiovese or indulge in the hot tub. And if you wish to take your stay to the next level, why not have your host arrange and private chef and barman for a night?

This elegant villa lies in the Chianti hills of the Tuscan countryside, just 19km from the city of Florence. The interior is perhaps not our most exciting, but the exterior is where this home really shines, with its massive 18,000 sqm garden. The alfresco dining areas and gazebos make for dream weddings and spectacular events. Not to mention the private bar (though you'll need to stock it yourself), plus the pool and hot tub offering hours of relaxation under the sun.

Aged to Perfection

Outdoor Bathtub

Outdoor Kitchen

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

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

Free Parking

Balcony / Patio

Situated inside a former monastery that dates back to 1700, this stylish apartment is steeped in history. It's perched in an elevated hilltop spot, providing you with some picturesque views out over the rolling hills and leafy green forests that surround you here. Outside, a stunning private pool sits surrounded by cypress trees, ideal for relaxing on hot and sunny days – and the raised terrace makes a great spot for your morning coffee. There's even an on-site chapel, licensed for weddings and baptisms.

The Garden of Tuscany

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

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.

Italian Flavour

Spread across the farmhouse and a cottage, this charming home can be found in the Tuscan countryside, where it offers both tranquillity and space in spades. Wander the lush grounds as you admire the rolling hills on the horizon and make your way towards the outdoor dining table, where you can enjoy pizza and pasta al fresco in the shade of the towering tree. 

Admire the Apennine foothills from in and around the private swimming pool, or spend the morning walking the hilly terrain surrounding the home until you’ve found the perfect spot to settle down. 

Organise horseback riding or play a few sets of tennis on the court no more than 4km away from the home. Though there’s plenty to do in and around this home, Florence is also within driving distance whenever you're in the mood for a cultural injection. 

Tuscan Cradle

Wheelchair Access

Hammock

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

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

Back in the 19th century, you would have caught farm animals seeking shelter in this stone building in rural Marche. Today, however, you're more likely to spot holiday-makers with some of the biggest grins you've ever seen.

Why the happiness? Well, it's very easy to fall in love with this home. The recent restoration work has managed to both retain characterful period features – such as the fireplaces and wooden ceiling beams – while adding a contemporary sheen that wouldn't be out of place in Italy's biggest cities. The layout is quite unique too, with the home now composed of two independent apartments, each with a wealth of living space and kitchens – ideal for two families travelling together.

Whenever you want to gather everybody together, there's ample space in the beautiful grounds filled with fragrant plants and trees. On warm afternoons, the natural-style swimming pool is sure to be popular, as will the leafy pergola ready and waiting for indulgent alfresco banquets.

If you're in the mood for sightseeing, the historic centre of Urbino – a UNESCO World Heritage Site, no less – is a good place to start and is only 23km away by car. The beaches of Fano are only half an hour's drive, too.

Animal Kingdom

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

Nestled in the rolling hills of Marche, this home is the definition of rural charm. The 200-year-old farmhouse is now a charming, four-bedroom villa showcasing both modern amenities and traditional style. Admire the exposed wooden beams and fireplace in the living space, and take in the views from the master bedroom's private balcony – whoever takes this room is very lucky indeed. The garden is an attraction in its own right, with flourishing flowers and shaded dining areas where you can enjoy breakfast in the morning. Relax by the pool with a book and soak up the views, returning to the house only to rustle up lunch in the kitchen to enjout in the conservatory, one of our favourite spots. If it's even possible, the gardens perhaps look more charming after the sun goes down, when the pool lights up and lamps cast the trees in a warm glow. Gather out here for a barbecue, and afterwards curl up in the historic living room for a nightcap. While this home's charm comes from its rural location, you're just a twenty-minute drive from Pesaro, a coastal city where you can visit palaces and take to the many cycling trails. 

The Rest Is History

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 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

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.

The Olive Leaf

Located near Morciano di Romagna, in the province of Rimini, this villa is ideal for nature lovers who want to enjoy some peace and quiet. There’s no better place to soak up the countryside panoramas than from the edge of the swimming pool or from the dining terrace with a spread of local delicacies. A big plus is the fenced grounds, making the place suitable for pets and small children. Fancy a change of scenery? It’s a short drive to Altamarea Beach and the town of Cattolica. 

The Art of Dreams

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

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

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

Piano

This masterpiece of a home provides beauty and interest from every angle. Behind the rich terracotta exterior, you will find a contemporary haven with natural colours brought alive through wonderful statues and vibrant artwork. Indulge in a little quiet time of an evening as you relax in the hot water of the whirlpool tub in one of the ensuites, guaranteeing you a restful night's sleep to follow. The bedrooms are cool and calming, a wonderful contrast. 

In the morning, stroll across the decking and you’ll be met with a crystal blue pool and hot tub. If you aren’t taking a refreshing dip, you can be enjoying a coffee with your feet up, flicking through the pages of a magazine as the delicate sound of birdsong fills the silence around you. At night, the surrounding gardens are lit with the amber glow of the garden lights and the warmth of the glowing sunset. Dine alfresco for a romantic ambience, as the spectacular views across the Romagna hills and the Adriatic Sea disappear into dusk. A peaceful home, perfectly located between the refreshing coastline and San Marino, means that you have the best of both worlds here.

Sauna / Steam Room

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.
