You’ll agree this place looks like it’s been plucked from the pages of a storybook. So, if you’re sitting comfortably, we’ll begin. Deep in the wooded Romagna hills, where dappled trees give way to the picture-perfect town of Santa Sofia, winding backroads lead to a large rustic gate. Behind it, you’ll find a lovingly restored and painstakingly renovated Byzantine church. And this is just the introduction. Inside, stand in reverence as you absorb the cavernous living space where towering columns support thick stone walls and vaulted ceilings. Up in the rafters, you’ll find the bedrooms, with antique beds that are ‘just right’ – waking up in them feels like another lifetime. Outside, enchanting gardens await – there's an old wishing well, luxurious infinity pool with waterfall features and a romantic alfresco dining nook – perfect for twilight meals. Settle into the hammock during balmy afternoons or find a spot overlooking the immaculate landscape. There’s nothing but the sound of the wind dancing through the trees and bees humming in fragrant petunias, where you can stay, happily ever after.

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.

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.

In a sleepy town in Tuscany, this breathtaking apartment is a unique find. Set in a former palazzo, it boasts classical Tuscan features like high ceilings, traditional archways, and a grand red brick exterior. Neutral colours inside contrast with the spectacular frescoed walls. We love the Rococo-style cherub fresco above the bed, lending the room a celestial aura. There is plenty of space to relax in the large open plan living area, and the fully stocked kitchen is perfect for practising your Italian home cooking. 

Certaldo Alto is a charming walled Medieval town, home to winding cobbled streets, picturesque churches, family run restaurants, and sprawling views of the verdant Tuscan countryside.

Overlooking the countryside of the quiet province of Pesaro and Urbino, this home is made for relaxation; float in the crystal waters of the pool, swing in the huge hammock on the deck while the kids entertain themselves in the little playhouse, and admire the panoramic views of the poplars, cypresses and oaks that surround the home. If you can rouse yourself to explore further, you’ll discover a whole host of delights within five minutes of your home. The country’s truffle capital, Acqualagna, is just a few minutes drive away, so you can dine on the delicacy at every meal, and a short stroll will bring you to your very own private beach on the shores of the Candigliano River – perfect for picnics, fishing expeditions, and swimming beneath the high Italian sun.

Situated a short drive outside the bustling medieval city of Siena, this villa offers a true escape in the Tuscan countryside. Originally constructed as a watchtower, its 12th-century exterior has been updated with a stunning glass pavilion that offers 270-degree views of rolling Tuscan hills covered in cypress trees and olive groves. Beyond the sliding doors, an oxygen-cleaned pool offers a relaxing spot to while away your days, with a counter-current swim machine if you're feeling active. And though it's technically capable of accommodating up to four people, it makes for a perfect romantic retreat for two.


Tuscan Haven

Beach / Pool Towels

High up in the hills of Chianti sits this magnificent eighteenth-century residence, flanked by olive groves, rose gardens and lemon trees. The sublime archway structures harken back to the traditional Italian palazzo, and the interiors – prizing terracotta tiles and antique furniture – have a distinctly regal feel. With grounds that sprawl out over multiple hectares and rolling hills surrounding you, you’ll feel like royalty staying here. The dining room is prime for opulent banquets, while the arched patio and the poolside area will answer all of your relaxation needs. When the sun heats up, head down the terracotta steps for a cool swim under the Mediterranean sun. Even better, you’ll be surrounded by the lush vineyards and beautiful food of the Chianti region. What more could you want?


Chianti Classico

This apartment shares its location with a family-run farm in pretty Montespertoli. The family produces wine and olive oil from a picturesque spot amid the gentle Chianti hills, surrounded by vineyards, olive groves and woods – it’s delightfully rustic. 

The apartment sits within these grounds, benefitting from the large garden and beautiful views. It has its own private garden too, just off the bedroom – the perfect romantic setting for a glass of wine and some stargazing. Traditional features like stone walls and a terracotta floor add to the romance of the apartment, as does the four-poster bed. 

When you’re not exploring the surrounding woodland and countryside on foot, you might like to venture further afield to take in more of wonderful Tuscany. The medieval town of San Gimignano is forty-one minutes away by car, and it takes forty-seven minutes to get to Siena. Wander through these historic towns with a gelato, taking in the architecture and shopping for keepsakes. When you return to the apartment, enjoy an alfresco dinner while admiring the view – it's the ideal way to round off your day. 


A Glass Of Chianti

Outdoor Shower

This 19th-century Tuscan farmhouse that sits 450 metres above sea level has been brought into stylish 21st-century style, all while retaining its rustic charm and characterful Italian romance. Featuring its original windows and tall beamed ceilings alongside contemporary decor, it’s a space that’s been reimagined with rest and relaxation in mind, not to mention a showstopping outdoors that is certain to have you basking in its beauty from dawn till dusk. 

Covering 1,200 square metres of land, the home’s terraced gardens are as expansive as they are stunning. Spend afternoons taking dips in the private pool before sunning yourself on one of the loungers, relishing the scent of the citrus and olive trees perfuming the air. When hunger calls, make your way to the white-draped pergola and fire up the barbecue for a memorable alfresco feast. As the sun begins to dip behind the surrounding hills, watch the stars come out one by one over a glass of wine before heading back inside for a dreamy night’s sleep. 

Should you wish to venture out for a day of exploring, you'll find the medieval village of San Donato a stone's throw away, while Barberino Tavarnelle is also just a short drive from your home. Alternatively, take the scenic Chiantigiana road that links the Chianti area, stopping off in Siena (about 40 km) and Florence (about 30 km), as well as the picturesque towns of Radda, Gaiole, Greve and Panzano, each boasting a wealth of stunning landscapes, historic churches and Renaissance villas.

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

Single-Level Home

Florence and Pisa steal the limelight for Tuscan cities, yet Cortona is a hidden gem brimming with character. Authentically Italian and undoubtedly pretty, the sleepy streets and welcoming ambiance is the perfect immersion into the local lifestyle. For true convenience, you're expertly placed to explore every part of the town.

The town centre is just three minutes away, giving you instantly access to the charming cafes, restaurants and shops. Spend leisurely afternoons moseying around the quaint streets, finding chic clothing in the aisles and delicious food in the eating spots.

If you wanted to keep things private and intimate, your host can arrange a private chef to rustle up some top-notch dishes at home. When the weather is warm, you can enjoy each sumptuous bite on the cute outdoor table in the garden. 

Even if you're not eating, the garden is a dreamy spot to spend the evening. Pick up a bottle of wine from town and share a glass or two with the beautiful view as your background.





View From The Evening

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

Vineyards stretch as far as the eye can see at this Chianti villa. Settings rarely get more picturesque than this – we can already picture lazy afternoons by the private pool and alfresco drinks on the covered terrace, all while admiring the views. Inside, you'll find plenty of 17th-century charm, including a brick domed ceiling in the bathroom and an ornamental fireplace that housed the estate's former furnace. You'll have double the space here, too, since the home is two separate apartments. Location-wise, it's halfway between Florence and Siena, so the possibilities for day trips and adventures around Tuscany are endless.

Spend the afternoon enjoying the cool soak of the pool’s waterfall or head to the umbrella striped beach, less than five minutes away on foot. Rimini, with its lively nightclubs and golden beaches, is also just over thirty minutes away by car. In the evenings, gather around the home's outdoor dining table for a barbecue, then head inside for a night of musical fun in the games room, ready to host a jam session with its piano and guitar.

The Lucia

Lounge by the lavender-edged 18-metre lap pool with its beautiful views of the forested hills and distant hilltop village of Castagnoli. You can’t see the pool from the house, as it's 70 metres down a track, past the owner's villa – but once there, it’s a sight to behold. Or relax on your terrace or balcony in the private garden. It’s the perfect spot for an Italian feast cooked on the barbecue or rustle up something in the kitchen on the first floor with its marble worktops. If you need to top up on ingredients, then Gaiole, 4 kilometres away, has a selection of shops, as well as restaurants, while the nearest village, Barbischio, 1 kilometre away, has a superb trattoria.

This elegant home in Tuscany is in a dreamy spot in a valley, in a countryside setting that leads to absolute relaxation. The villa is full of character, with antique furniture and wooden beams, in addition to mesmerising views. 

The outside space is lush and pretty. Roses and lavender have been planted alongside a wealth of trees, making the garden feel like an oasis. In the morning, sip coffee at the table under the gazebo, admiring the views and planning your day. If you’re anything like us, you won’t be able to resist a dip in the hedge-lined swimming pool for long. Dry off on a sun lounger with a good book, or start a table tennis tournament with your friends. 

In the evening, set up outside at the long dining table. You might like to arrange for a local chef to come and cook for you – that way you can enjoy a cocktail hour on the terrace before dining as the sun sets beyond the valley. 

The villa is only a short walk along the river to the centre of peaceful Poggibonsi, so you can easily dine out in the local restaurants or grab a gelato. Montemorli vineyard is just a twenty-minute walk up the hill, while the medieval beauty of San Gimignano is a mere twenty-one-minute drive away. Slightly further afield, you can be in Siena in thirty minutes, and Florence in an hour.  


Verdant Valley

This breathtaking villa is one of the oldest in the hamlet of Castelfranco Piandiscò, and it wears its history with pride. The traditional stone exterior gives way to a charmingly traditional living space – you'll be enchanted by the rustic wooden beams, collection of antique furniture and terracotta tiles. The ancient Valdarno fireplace is a beautiful centrepiece, and you'll find a second feature fireplace in the kitchen. The four bedrooms are wonderfully peaceful, and one even has access to the balcony, where you can sip your morning espresso in the fresh air. In, fact, you're spoilt for choice when it comes to outdoor space – from the beautiful garden, full of greenery and flowers, to the smart patio, you can't help but adopt an alfresco lifestyle here. Pick a book or magazine from the extensive home library, and bask in the Italian sunshine before taking a refreshing dip in the infinity pool. Adventurers can explore the stunning scenery surrounding the commune, wandering through olive groves and beech woods in true tranquility. And, if you fancy a day in the city, both Arezzo and Florence are only thirty kilometres away – their world-famous cultural relics have to be seen to be believed.

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

Built as a farm at the end of the 19th century, this rural home has oodles of charm and Tuscan character. We're swooning over the original terracotta-vaulted ceilings, the exposed cork beams and the huge fireplace, which is the perfect spot to snuggle up with a cup of tea on wintery nights. Every room captures the essence of old-world Tuscany – warm, cosy and pastoral – but there are modern conveniences too, like rainfall showers and a ping-pong table in the garden.

Surrounded by a sea of olive trees and with vistas of the mountains, the garden is utterly enchanting. Start the morning off with an espresso on the outdoor sofa, cool off on sunny afternoons with a swim in the pool, then fire up the stone barbecue and dine under the wisteria-covered pergola on summer evenings. 

If you fancy exploring, there are plenty of places to discover. Just down the road is artsy Cortona, an Etruscan town with views across the Chiana Valley. Want to stretch your legs? Lace up your walking shoes and go for a hike through the hilly countryside – there are many scenic outlooks and trails within easy reach. Or really pick up the pace with a visit to Arezzo or Perugia, both about forty-five minutes by car and excellent spots for day trips. 

The Softest Crimson

Surrounded by olive trees and vast swathes of vineyards, this Tuscan home in the heart of the Chianti wine region is a haven of rural relaxation. Its exposed stone exterior gives way to a bright interior, where farmhouse simplicity meets elegant design in the living room. With its giant hearth, plump sofas and tiered chandelier, this is the perfect spot for socialising over a glass of wine or curling up by the fire with a good book on cooler nights. With four comfortable bedrooms boasting postcard-like countryside views and a farm-style kitchen full of traditional charm, you’ll have everything you need to make yourself right at home. Head outside to take cool dips in the pool, or sit back in one of the many sun loungers while taking in the spectacular hillside views. Wander around the vineyards, visit Castellina in Chianti (less than ten minutes away by car), then come back home for a barbecue under the pergola paired, naturally, with a glass of Chianti.

Tucked away in vineyards and verdant pastures as far as the eye can see, this home promises tranquillity with breathtaking views to boot. You'll find it tucked away in Terranuova Bracciolini, surrounded by natural beauty and just a thirty-minute drive from Arezzo. Here, you're in a convenient spot for exploring Tuscany, with Siena and Florence both just shy of an hour's drive away.

We're completely infatuated with this home's rustic charm. It's set across two pastel-hued and ivy-clad villas, making it the perfect base for families and large groups. We especially love the majestic glass-walled recreation space, dressed to the nines for entertaining, with a banquet-style dining table, cosy lounge, ping pong and billiards table. 

Inside, it's a quaint canvas of terracotta tiled floors, shuttered windows and timber beamed ceilings, while contemporary comforts promise a want-for-nothing stay. After a restful slumber in the cosy sleeping quarters, spend mornings in the fully-equipped country kitchen, brewing espressos or tucking into breakfast on the veranda. 

Fringed by lush, landscaped grounds, including a home-grown vegetable garden that you're encouraged to forage, this home beckons you to relax in the splendour of your surroundings. Here, a saltwater infinity pool takes centre stage, a glistening oasis amidst the perfectly clipped emerald lawn. Spend your days poolside, soaking up the sun or relaxing beneath the shade of the rose garden nearby. 

Tuscan Rose

Nestled in a private estate overlooking the Chianti hills, this cottage sets the tone for a magical Italian stay. There’s a private terrace and outdoor seating for alfresco dining, while the rooms make it easy to switch off and unwind. You can enjoy access to the shared swimming pool and there are plenty of spots where you can sit back and admire the views. It also makes a great base for exploring this beautiful region. From here, its a short drive to the local villages of Lecchi and San Sano, while Siena and Florence are also within driving distance. 

Chianti Sunrise

Nestled in the Tuscan countryside with a private pool, serene outdoor space and views across Chianti’s vineyard-laced hills – what’s not to love about this home? Comfortable for a family or group of friends, inside, you’ll find a seamless blend of traditional and modern. And, when you fancy a spot of sightseeing or some authentic Italian cuisine, you can walk to the hilltop town of Radda, just two minutes away, or for jaunts further afield, hop in the car for a day trip to Florence or Siena. 

Vineyard Sunset

Step across the stone bridge over the river into this lovingly restored water mill. Where the old pond once lay, there’s now a swimming pool – a great place to relax while listening to the sound of the river. Set over several levels, the accommodation is split between the main house and a separate annexe for two guests. The kitchen is on the first floor, but if you want a break from cooking, your hosts can offer a full board option here (breakfast is provided). There are plenty of original features, such as millstones and beams, and we love the main bedroom suite, too, with its views. Situated between Arezzo and Florence, you’ll find many picturesque villages and towns to explore.

The Mill of Dreams

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.

Florence is only thirty minutes away by car, and you’ll be even closer to the charming town of Scarperia.
