Nestled in the hills of Garfagnana, this home has tranquillity running through its core. Made up of the main villa and a separate annexe, it’s an ideal base for groups who like to holiday together, yet still enjoy some private time. With traditional Tuscan interiors, it’s a real home-away-from-home, but the star of the show is the outdoor space. With a private pool, multiple seating spots, and far-reaching views, it’s just the ticket for those wanting to make the most of the sunny Mediterranean weather.

You'll love the views from this traditional villa in Garfagnana. Sweeping across the mountains in Castelnuovo Garfagnana towards Lucca in the south, it'll be hard to take your eyes off the rolling scenery. The best spot for gazing? We reckon it's the private pool, though the outlook from the loggia and terrace is just as lovely. It's not the most modern home, but it has a lot of heart – the rooms are cosy, comfortable, and packed with character. The location is convenient for exploring the area, too. Lucca, Barga, Castelnuovo Garfagnana, and many more hidden gems are easily discoverable by car.

This stone cottage in the Tuscan hills boasts views across the surrounding mountains and valleys. Set in a secluded spot on the edge of a large village, you’ll have peace and quiet here, with the convenience of shops, restaurants, and bars within walking distance, as well as a trio of historic towns – Barga, Borgo a Mozzano, and Bagni di Lucca – within a thirty-minute drive. The private pool may be small, but the panoramic countryside views from the water more than make up for that. Inside, the two bedrooms are separated by a bamboo wall so they aren’t the most private – we think this home is best suited to a couple or family.

If you’re searching for a bit of seclusion, this home will go straight to the top of your holiday wishlist. Nestled in the Garfagnana Mountains in northern Tuscany, step inside and you’ll find a space that oozes classic Italian charm, with white walls that contrast the beamed ceilings and wooden floors. Here and there, a little of the original stonework peeks through, reminding you of this home’s 18th-century roots in a villa that has been tastefully modernised to provide a comfortable home while not taking away its history or character. 

The outdoor space jostles for attention with the interior, and to be honest, there’s no clear winner – both are wonderful. With three hundred olive trees dotted around the grounds and the mountains providing the most scenic backdrop, here, you’re fully immersed in nature. Whether you’re enjoying a refreshing dip in the private pool or simply relaxing on a sun lounger with your holiday read, you can revel in the peace and tranquillity that this location offers. For an authentic Italian evening, light the wood-fired pizza oven and rustle up some dinner which naturally, should be enjoyed outdoors on your terrace where you can soak up the views. All you need to complete the meal is a bottle of chianti and you’re in for a memorable evening.

A Slice of Tuscany

Shared Pool

Located in an estate brimming with history, this first-floor apartment places you in the heart of Tuscany. The balcony is perfect for your morning coffee, while the park surrounding the home lets you live like a Romantic poet. We felt the style was a little old-fashioned here, but that seems appropriate – plus, the chandelier and wood beam ceilings are a nice touch. You'll find all of Lucca's charms just a few minutes' drive away, and if you love nature, you'll want to visit the scenic canyon of Orrido di Botri.

A Countryside Garden

You'll find this apartment set in the bucolic gardens of a grand Italian estate in rural Lucca. Part of a farmhouse dating back to the 1400s, the space has been carefully reimagined into a family-friendly home full of character. Outside, there’s a private garden area for alfresco apéritifs, and in the wider communal grounds, woodland walks aplenty. Ready for a taste of Tuscan life? You’ll need a car to explore the nearby ancient towns of Barga, Coreglia, Lucca and Ghivizzano. Though Piano di Coreglia, with its cluster of local trattorias and shops, is walkable if you’ve not got little ones in tow.

Located in the hills above Forte dei Marmi, this home has a wonderful view of the sea. On a clear day, you can see as far as La Spezia and Livorno, as well as the islands of Tinetto, La Gorgona and Elba. You can enjoy the vistas from the jacuzzi and fenced garden or the bedroom’s balcony. The open-plan living space has a kitchenette and a wood burner (this room also sleeps guests three and four). If you want to leave this cosy place and explore, the sandy beaches, chic boutiques and restaurants of Forte dei Marmi are a short drive away.

There's nothing like a private pool to get you into that holiday spirit and at this home in Marina di Pietrasanta, you'll also have the sandy beach just a short walk away. A charming seaside resort with plenty of restaurants and bars to enjoy, you'll have local parks to explore, numerous beaches to play on and surrounding villages to seek out – as well as the big attractions of Lucca (around forty minutes by car) and Pisa (around fifty).

Surrounded by a pretty garden, with high hedging for privacy and comfy outdoor seating spots, this home is a stylish choice for a family or small group of friends. Set in a quiet residential area, it's a dreamy escape from reality, with relaxing shades of white and grey, along with farmhouse styling. We love the romantic bedrooms and the delightful covered terrace – perfect for barbecues after a day on the beach.

This charming apartment is located in perfect tranquillity inside a converted ancient palace, where the environment has been impeccably refurbished whilst respecting the original structure. We love how much greenery surrounds this home, and how it can make you appreciate the simple things in life as you take a long walk through the flora, breathing in the fresh air and listening to the bird's chirp. The wooden beams definitely give this home the character it deserves, as do the shutters that can be opened to let in light as you gaze out over the trees of an ancient noble villa.
 
When you want to be a part of the city's hustle and bustle, take the sixteen-minute drive to Lucca and bike along the city walls, losing yourself in the history of what would've been, before indulging in some retail therapy in the Old Town. Admire Piazza dell'Anfiteatro, a magnificent square constructed on the ruins of the ancient Roman amphitheatre that spreads a mix of historical beauty and true Italian flavour – stop for a bite to eat in the courtyard with innumerable cafes and restaurants.


Upon the Pathway

Free Parking

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.

This villa's sea views are the definition of swoon-worthy. Day or night, relaxing in the fresh air is a no-brainer with a private swimming pool, Jacuzzi, and multiple panoramic seating areas at your disposal. The fuss-free interiors don't stack up to the scenery – the open-plan living area is particularly cramped – but they'll do the job if you plan to spend most of your time outdoors. With Lerici's beach a ten-minute walk away, restaurants and shops within strolling distance, and several charming nearby towns easily accessible by car, why not explore the Italian Riviera? Your host can help arrange guided tours, yacht cruises, and other experiences, too.

Get away from it all at this charming villa in the Tuscan countryside. With tranquil views of the Apennine mountains from the garden’s shady seating area, we doubt you’ll even want to leave the grounds – but if you do, you’ll find Portofino, Pisa, and Florence all within driving distance. Unwind by the pool during the day and cosy up around the fire pit come evening, or curl up with a book in one of the bright living areas. If you find yourself a little too relaxed, you can always get the adrenaline pumping with nearby activities such as paragliding over the Cinque Terre, rock climbing at Via Ferrata, rafting and hiking. The home has been designed as a space to reconnect with nature, but fear not; there’s also wi-fi, a flat-screen TV and a wireless sound system to enjoy.

Giardino Rilassante

Desk

This lovely waterfront apartment has wonderful Mediterranean Sea views from its small balcony (there’s room though for four guests on the comfy alfresco sofas). You can enjoy the vistas from the living space too. Out and about, you’re just a one-minute stroll from a rocky beach and a ten-minute walk from a sandy beach, while it's just 500 metres to beautiful Porto Venere and 13 kilometres to the port city of La Spezia. Or let your host organise excursions or a yacht trip.

This sleek and modern stonehouse is perched on the hillside of Corniglia, one of the Cinque Terre localities. Surrounded by a thousand square metres of olive trees, lemon, and orange groves, it offers panoramic views of the Ligurian Sea below. Spend your days exploring coastal trails, charming Cinque Terre villages, and sandy beaches. In the evening, fire up the barbecue for dinner in the outdoor kitchen and dining area, or stroll into Corniglia to sample local dishes at one of its excellent restaurants, just a short walk up the hillside.

24-Hour Security

Located just a short walk from the centre of Florence, this Santa Maria Novella ticks all the important boxes for us, making it a functional base for city exploring. The fully equipped kitchen and large dining table let you enjoy a hearty breakfast before you head into town, and we like that the home gets plenty of natural light – always a nice way to start the day. When you want to explore, you'll find Strozzi Palace close by, as well as Florence Santa Maria Novella station, connecting you to the rest of Tuscany and beyond.

Florence Charmer

Desk / Workplace

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. It is 35km from Florence, making a day trip to the city easy. While you are there, be sure to sample some of the excellent wines from the region. After a day of exploring, kick back on the sofa in your opulent living room, before retreating to the serene calm of the bedroom for a perfect night’s sleep. With its romantic setting and unbeatable location, this would be the perfect getaway for couples. 

Fairytale in Fresco

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. 

The Breadbasket

This modern villa enjoys a prime position, five minutes’ drive from the beaches of the Ligurian coast (Bocca di Magra is the closest). The famous Cinque Terre route is an ideal day trip, where colourful fishing villages dot the cliffs. This villa would suit those that don’t like a lot of clutter as it is sparsely furnished with the essentials for a holiday in the sun. It consists of a main villa with a large living room, fully-equipped kitchen and dining for the group, plus a separate dependence with its own small kitchen and living room. The highlight is the private pool with loungers and dining on the terrace as the Ligurian hills rise in the background.   

Grinning To The Sea

Parking On Premises

Situated in the hills of the Province of Parma, this historic home is an idyllic spot for nature lovers looking for relaxation. There’s a private swimming pool among the fruit trees and a large patio terrace featuring a dining table and outdoor lounge, where you can spend lazy afternoons with a spritz and a good book. Meanwhile, the interiors blend original features with modern home comforts. Although the decor feels dated in places and may not be to everyone's taste, the style is in keeping with the area’s rich heritage.

Umbrellas

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.

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.


Thermae

This beautifully restored and furnished Tuscan home is the true epitome of an Italian cottage done right. Right in the heart of the Chianti countryside, with the iconically distinctive cypress trees all around, this is the perfect haven for honeymooners looking for a romantic getaway or a solo tripper after a comfortable home close to Florence. The private pool is perfect for a refreshing dip, while the shaded dining areas invite you to savour leisurely meals alfresco. With its blend of traditional features and elegant touches, this home provides a romantic and restful escape.

Tuscan Cottage

Surrounded by Tuscan countryside, this home has a private swimming pool, open all year round, set in a garden fringed by bamboo. There’s a large, shaded dining terrace to enjoy the warm Italian summers as well. Inside, this traditionally styled, three-storey house has plenty of room for family and friends with a living area and sitting room. Situated just 1 kilometre from Camaiore, there’s plenty to see and do. Or visit the medieval city of Lucca, around a thirty-minute drive away.


Emerald Forest

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

Juicer

Lift Access

Ensconced within a beautiful building dating back to the 1800s, this chic apartment seamlessly blends traditional with contemporary. It’s an ideal base for those seeking a stay near the sea, which you’ll see twinkling between the neighbouring buildings from the terrace. Speaking of which, the terrace is what caught our eye most about this home. It’s a generous size, just the spot for alfresco meals or simply soaking up the Tuscan sun with a good book in hand. Location-wise, the beach is a mere hop, skip and jump away, so if the sun gets a little much, you can cool off in the sea in no time. 

Golden Buzz

Heated Pool

Sauna

Set amid Camaiore’s rolling hills, this delightful villa offers a luxurious escape to the country. The surrounding olive groves make for a beautifully verdant backdrop, setting the scene for peaceful alfresco feasts prepared in the outdoor kitchen. There’s a heated swimming pool with a whirlpool feature in the garden, and a sauna inside. Hiking trails can be found just 100 metres from the villa, making this an excellent choice for those looking for an active holiday – you’ll also have a separate fitness room. The villa is elegant and attractive, with modern decor and plenty of space. The sandy beaches of Versilia are only a fifteen-minute drive away. 

The Olives

Situated next to the historic walls of Lucca, this luxurious home is within walking distance of the city centre with its array of attractions. Surrounded by a beautiful garden, this place has a private pool, a variety of seating areas and table tennis to keep everyone entertained. Inside, there are several sitting rooms and a modern kitchen – this house is ideal for families or friends. We love the views from upstairs of the ancient city walls too and despite its central location, this home has parking for up to six cars. This home has everything you could need for a comfortable stay. 

Walls of Lucca

This traditional Tuscan villa has been split into three apartments, making it an ideal base for a group looking to holiday together yet still enjoy some private time. That said, the outdoor space will naturally draw everyone together. With a private pool, sun-drenched terraces, alfresco dining opportunities and views across the olive groves of the Serchio Valley, it’s sure to be a popular spot with all. A car is necessary here, but that makes it all the easier to take day trips to Lucca, Pisa, or Florence. 

Tuscan Glow

Baby Bath

Early / Late Check-Out Available

Set on a farm in Tuscany, this house blends rustic charms with a wealth of unforgettable experiences. Designed in classic Tuscan style, the stone walls house wooden beamed ceilings and terracotta floors. You’ll have your own kitchen, as well as a private patio with an outdoor table and a barbecue, so you can enjoy languid alfresco lunches. 

The house is one of six rooms and casitas, and guests have access to a vast, crystalline pool that overlooks the rolling hills and vineyards. The farm produces its own Tuscan olive oil and honey, and there is even a top rated restaurant where you can sample some of the farm’s produce. Days can be spent riding the horses from the stable, exploring the area by E-bike, or taking a cookery class at the restaurant, where you might learn how to make fresh pasta or cantuccini. On more relaxed afternoons, treat yourself to a spa or beauty treatment – there is nothing more serene than a massage in the garden, with a gentle breeze and a soundtrack of cicadas.

You will easily fall into the laidback Italian way of life here, and will come away feeling inspired and rejuvenated.

Rustic Honey

Private Dryer

Herb Garden

Drink in the beautiful vistas over the Camaiore valley and the sea from this rustic yet elegant home – they are like fine wine. Situated above the Borgo di Metato, this Tuscan stone-built abode is the perfect countryside retreat.

The sunny, hilly garden with its olive and cypress trees extends for more than 1500m2. Enjoy a Tuscan feast in the outdoor dining area – we adore the views from here. Or have a glass of Prosecco in the secluded hot tub located on a rock. There's a gorgeous swimming pool, too, overlooking the sea and the valley.

Inside, we love the chic interpretation of the rustic interior style. Select a bottle of wine from the cellar and cosy up in front of one of the fires if the weather turns chilly. This place is perfect for a family or group of friends looking for complete tranquillity.

If you can tear yourself away from this Italian paradise, there are plenty of treasures to explore. The medieval town of Pietrasanta is 15 kilometres away, while it's 20 kilometres from the seaside city of Viareggio. It's around the same distance to Forte Dei Marmi, while Lucca and Pisa are 40 kilometres from this special home.





Eagle in Its Eyrie	

Step back in time and experience this Tuscan home, a beautifully restored estate dating back to around 1000 AD. This luxurious countryside escape has a private riverside beach, a swimming pool and plenty of areas to relax and dine in the sun.

The accommodation is divided between the main villa with four en-suite bedrooms and two guest houses offering additional privacy and space. This home is perfect for families or friends seeking a tranquil retreat in the heart of Tuscany, a short drive from the medieval town of Greve.
