Cypress trees and olive groves perfume the air around this stunning Tuscan farmhouse, located just a five-minute drive from the village of Pescia. A truly romantic getaway, you’ll fall in love with its blend of rustic charm and elegant decor that seamlessly flows through each room. Food enthusiasts will fall head over heels for the farm-style kitchen, which after a local cooking class, is sure to inspire plenty of feasts. The calming white conservatory is the perfect spot to enjoy a morning coffee before heading out to the pool for a swim and some sunbathing. With plenty of outdoor seating and stunning views of the lush, green grounds, this secluded spot is an oasis. When the sun starts to set, mix yourself some cocktails to have out on the veranda before sitting down for a lantern-lit alfresco dinner. For truly memorable nights, book a private chef to serve you an Italian banquet, or if a more casual night is on the table, fire up the barbecue. When it’s time for bed, you’ll find a luxurious bed waiting to cradle you into a restful night’s sleep.

Decadent in every sense of the word, this villa in the Tuscan countryside is a dream come true, as far as we're concerned. Owned by a bespoke interior designer, it should come as no surprise that every room is a treasure trove, filled with plush furniture, eclectic knick-knacks, antique furniture and that unique designer touch that makes it sing. Historic character is around every corner – we're particularly fond of the wooden beams and brick ceilings – but all the mod-cons are accounted for, including a stunning chef's kitchen perfect for meal prepping and small, luxurious bathrooms complete with rainfall showers.

But there's no denying that the garden is the best part of all. Romantic and magical, we'd happily spend all our time out here, admiring the medieval architecture of the 10th-century church next door. While away lazy afternoons swimming in the private pool, sunbathing on the lounge chairs and reading in the gazebo. Come dinnertime, share an Italian feast and a bottle of Tuscan wine under the leafy pergola as the night falls, surrounded by twinkling fairy lights. When you're ready to venture out, Tuscany's main sights are all reachable by car – including Florence, Lucca and Pistoia – but we're just as happy to stay local and discover Montecarlo's traditional eateries, wineries and medieval fortress.

Sun Umbrellas

This magnificent sixteenth-century villa, set amidst the green countryside, under the Tuscan sun, is a dream spot for a large family get together, or an escape for a group of friends. 

Opulence is the name of the game here, and we were immediately seduced by this home’s charm. Firstly, its setting is truly idyllic, with stunning vistas of rolling green hills, punctuated by dark and majestic cypress trees. Evenings are particularly enchanting, and you’ll no doubt find yourself organising elegant suppers and aperitivos, with the glow of the setting sun as your backdrop. The covered, outdoor dining area invites those communal feasts, with the laid-back, dolce-far-niente vibe. In the heat of the afternoon sun, you can cool yourself in the lovely swimming pool, and work on your tan on one of the sun loungers dotted around. 

The inside of the villa is a stunning mélange of classic Italian style with modern comfort. We love the incredible attention to detail with which the interior has been decorated, and you’ll find yourself wandering around these rooms, admiring the art and the unique pieces scattered about. There is more than enough space to lounge about, with comfy sofas and chairs, and you can also enjoy sumptuous indoor feasts in the large dining room. 

The luxurious feeling continues into the bedrooms, which are plush, spacious, and stylishly decorated, with comfy beds carrying the promise of restful sleep. 
Wake up to the sound of the birds outside, and plan your day of exploring the countryside while enjoying a cup of freshly brewed Italian coffee on your terrace. 


Mascarpone

Balcony / Patio

Not only does this villa come with the most heavenly outdoor space, but it's rich with 16th-century character and country elegance. It's set at the top of a hill with awe-inspiring views, best appreciated from the heated indoor jetted pool or through the grand windows. Wake up in regal bedrooms that exude vintage, country-style luxury and throw open the lofty French windows and doors for views of the rolling hills all around you. After breakfast in one of the many glamorous dining areas, have a soak or a sweat in your private spa, sauna and gym before heading to the spectacular outdoor swimming pool. Sunny days will pass in a blur of lounging, chatting and snacking on produce from local stores, while evenings are destined for homemade pizza in the wood oven, drinking local wine and living la dolce vita in your paradisiacal surrounds. If you can tear yourself away from this dream home, we recommend taking a drive to the village of Collodi with its Pinocchio’s Park – Collodi is the hometown of the writer that created the character. The medieval city of Lucca is also a short drive away, offering incredible architecture, food and rich history.

Apollo's Seat

Laptop Friendly Workspace

This rural palace, tucked away in a quiet hamlet half an hour from Lucca, is like two homes in one. Such is the contacting styles between the authentic basement and the modern luxury of the ground floor, you'll feel like you've wandered into a new home. 

The idyllic outdoor space is the perfect blend of the two, providing a rustic vibe tinged with deluxe furnishings. Where you spend most of your time depends on your mood and the weather. 

During sunny, summer days, while away the hours in the dreamy space around the pool. Tropical plant life faces into fresh water, creating an exotic oasis, kissed by the summer rays. 

When the months turn cold and you fancy a snug setting, the basement is a restful haven. Rustic, wooden furniture is encompassed by stone walls and a tiled floor. It's an intimate spot to gather for meal times, sharing homemade spaghetti in your secret bunker.

If you fancied exploring beyond your tranquil abode, the cobbled streets of Lucca are just half an hour away. Find cute cafes, vintage wine stores and traditional restaurants. 




Due Casa

Private Parking

If you’re a wine connoisseur, then this elegant Tuscan home, set on a winery, could be for you. There are beautiful views over the private vineyards and countryside from the infinity swimming pool. Inside, we love the conservatory – the perfect place to dine under the stars. The main bedroom suite is another highlight of this home, as you can see. You may not want to leave this luxurious farmhouse, but if you do there are many charming towns nearby to explore – we’d recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay.

Set on the rolling hills of Montecarlo and surrounded by vineyards and olive groves, you'll find yourself in awe of the countryside views when you stay at this traditional villa. From the moment you arrive and enter the gated driveway, you'll realise this is somewhere special. Completely fenced and bordered with hedges, fragrant flowers and antique terracotta pots, the 5,000sqm garden here feels more like a park. Kids will enjoy the outdoor ping pong table, while the adults enjoy sipping sundowners and sharing nibbles in the alfresco dining space, surrounded by the scents of the surrounding vineyards. And let's not forget the Roman-style pool, lined in beautiful blue mosaic tiles with hydromassage jets that invite you to lean back and relax. Inside, this home is just as impressive, with beautiful artwork and elegant antique furniture everywhere you look. We particularly love the green marble spiral staircase, which adds an air of opulence to the space. We're sure you'll be more than content here, but if you want to venture out, the ancient Montecarlo Fortress is close by.

Orange Hill

Tuscan living at its finest, this home has generations of family life at its core. The owner's relatives were sharecroppers, and what once was a farmhouse is now a contemporary sanctuary steeped in character and charm. Our favourite spot is the grand living area – with its wooden beams, large windows and breezy layout, it's the perfect place to come together. The garden boasts even more spots for unwinding, as well as a private pool with views of the surrounding hills. Whether you're splashing in the water, dining alfresco, or taking a day trip to nearby Lucca, we think this home offers the perfect backdrop for your stay.

Allure of the Past

Watch the glorious sunset over the Tuscan countryside and beautiful Lucca from the terrace of this romantic apartment. Or enjoy a candlelit supper of acquacotta, surrounded by lush greenery and twinkling lights – we adore the outside space here. Inside, there are character features aplenty, thanks to its farmhouse heritage. Think wooden beams, terracotta floor tiles and a large elegant fireplace. Another highlight is the bedroom, with its large painting and views over the Tuscan countryside.

Lucca and its many attractions, such as the Guinigi Tower and the Puccini Museum, are a few miles away. Or the village of Tofori is nearby, while if you like gardens, the Giardino di Villa Garzoni is a must-see.

Just outside the famed artist town of Montecatini Terme, this sprawling villa in the Tuscan countryside is well-placed for exploring not only nearby Florence, but lovely Lucca as well. But while we love the position of this home, we think some guests might end up finding it difficult to leave the premises – with a beautiful mature garden and large swimming pool, this home’s many charms are capped off by a floodlit private tennis court, ping pong table, foosball, and a children’s play area. And that’s before we get to the horses. Keen equestrians – or just the horse curious – will love the fact that this home is neighboured by horse paddocks, with riding lessons and excursions available on request. Inside, the home is decorated in the traditional Tuscan manner, with classic tiling, exposed ceiling beams, and classic furnishings all in evidence. There’s a separate apartment available too, which we think would work wonders for families or friends travelling together. Not that you’ll be spending much time indoors though – with covered terraces, plenty of sun loungers round the pool, and shady spots set up under the trees, this is a home that revels in indoor-outdoor living.

Free Parking

Set amidst the Val di Nievole, this terracotta hideaway combines Tuscan charm with contemporary touches. Views of the countryside await outdoors, whether swimming in the private pool, snoozing on a sun lounger, or savouring a glass of Italian wine on the terrace. Head indoors, and you'll find cosy living spaces, a sleek kitchen, and four comfortable bedrooms. Keen to explore? Montecatini Terme, known for its healing spas, and Pescia, famous for flowers, are both a short drive away. A day trip to Lucca, just 16 kilometres by car, could also be on the cards.

Sing of Spring

Desk / Workplace

Set on a paved road amidst its private vineyards rests this secluded spot in the heart of Tuscany. Picture yourself soaking up blissful vistas of the region's rolling hills from by the pool or shaded alfresco dining area. Equipped with its own diving board, the pool area stays lit during the evenings as poolside lanterns line the patio on one side while comfy day beds line up along the other. The garden's stone walls ensure privacy and seclusion when relaxing outside, while stunning original features inside guarantee a quintessentially Tuscan experience. Terracotta tiles and stone walls have been given a modern twist with warm, neutral-toned rugs and sofas in the living room, bringing home comforts to an otherwise relatively traditionally designed space. Classic artwork and antique furniture add heaps of personality while soft, high-quality cushions and decorative finishing touches throughout the bedrooms make for a plush and well-balanced stay. Located just a two-minute walk away from the Villa Torrigiani Estate – the only baroque Villa in Tuscany, you'll be staying on what used to be the old farm to the iconic villa which was once the residence of the Ambassador of the Republic of Lucca to the King Louis XIV's court in Versailles. The Villa Torrigiani Estate is well worth a visit for its manicured gardens, grand interiors and fascinating history alone. With the nearest village and its shops and grocery stores just a five-minute drive away– convenience is key, and you'll be on your way to sampling some of the local delicacies in no time. Did we mention the wine? You'll be staying on a property with its own vineyard, after all. From here, you'll also be well-positioned for visiting the historic town of Lucca – just a twenty-minute drive away as well as the region's local beaches, which are reachable from the house in thirty-five minutes.

The Winemaker's Neighbour

Just a short drive from Lucca, this traditional farmhouse opens its doors to the simple pleasures of Italian living. Consisting of a main house and an adjoining hayloft (with its own kitchen) which also has A/C, this is a great option for groups in search of peace, privacy and a beautiful setting. The private pool is ideal for afternoon dips, and there's a large garden and plenty to explore in the surroundings. Outside you can follow hiking trails straight from the door, while cities like Pisa and Florence are also within driving distance. 



Beauty of Tuscany 

In the hills east of Lucca, this luxury villa promises an unforgettable stay. Outside, a panoramic terrace and a seasonal swimming pool invite you to lounge in the Tuscan sun all day. More surprises await indoors, our favourite being the spa area with a Finnish sauna, steam bath, and multi-sensory hydrotherapy shower. The decor is timeless and elegant, mixing classic Italian design with contemporary touches. Seven comfortable bedrooms mean you'll have plenty of room to spread out. For an upscale getaway in the heart of Tuscany, you can't go wrong.

Timeless Delights

If you’re looking for local immersion in a quintessentially Tuscan home, you've found it. Once the lowly hayloft of a country retreat for nobles, it’s been elevated to something wonderful. It’s rustic – think exposed brick, cooling stone floors and original wood beams – but with the kind of luxe touches that wouldn’t look out of place in a Renaissance townhouse. We love the juxtaposition of homely vibes with ornate flourishes. Who knew chandeliers could look so good in a barn? Set on a private estate, with lush gardens all around, the owners are your only neighbours. Signora Rosa will welcome you with open arms (and maybe even a slice of homemade torta), and the whole family is on hand to help, while also respecting your privacy. There are two complimentary bicycles available for guests, making the five-minute walk to the local town even quicker. Here you can pick up groceries to cook up an alfresco feast; you’ll want to make use of the pretty, shaded outdoor dining area with views over the immaculate grounds. There’s even a wood-fired pizza oven, so you’d better start practising your dough spinning. We’d happily hole up in this place for a week or two, but with a car, it’s the perfect base for exploring Tuscany. 

Homespun Renaissance

Surrounded by olive groves and vineyards, this villa offers rest and relaxation for a family or group of friends in the Tuscan countryside. You’ll spend most of your time outside here, thanks to the private swimming pool, dining terrace and four-poster sunbed. But when you do head inside, we recommend making a beeline for the Jacuzzi. Location-wise, restaurants are a short drive away if you don’t fancy cooking. The village of Montecarlo is around a five-minute drive away, and Lucca is reached in around fifteen minutes by car.

Love's Ancient Dance

This rustic farmhouse surrounded by picturesque hills makes for a restful Tuscan retreat. The interiors are a little dated in parts, but perfectly comfortable for a rural stay – the dining room with panoramic windows is a highlight. Outside, the terrace offers swing seats, loungers and a dining area, so you can maximise every moment with those country views. The unpaved track to this house is a little tricky to navigate, so it’s not the best for low-suspension cars. Nearby you’ll find Pescia’s authentic restaurants and shops, while Lucca lies less than 25km away should you feel like a day in the city.

Set on an estate dotted with trees, shrubs, and other native foliage, this home ecompasses the entire first floor of an ancient villa in Orentano. Despite sharing things like the pool, tennis court, and soccer field with another home, there is enough room on the property for it to still feel private. That’s probably helped along by the fact that you have your own private garden and barbecue – not to mention the sheer size of the home itself. Move easily between rooms and use the easy go-between as an excuse to nip into the kitchen for another cup of coffee and a dozen more biscotti to take back to where you’re reading on the plush sofa. Take the spiral staircase up to the loft where you’ll find the rustic bedrooms and bathrooms for when you’re ready to turn in at night. When you think loft, you might conjure up images of a tight squeeze, but the addition of the skylights in almost every room here allows the light to make the space feel more open. 

With the host and his family living on the estate, you’ll sometimes find yourself around the table enjoying their homemade pasta alfresco with soft music playing in the background. There’s also a brick pizza oven here, so don’t be surprised if you eat more margarita than you’d care to – we know, that is not even remotely possible. 

When you’re not enjoying the home, you can make a trip to Pisa, Voltera, or Florence – each with their unique charm – or borrow the bicycles and simply explore the surroundings on two wheels instead of four. After a day of activity under the Tuscan sun, take a late-night swim in the heated pool, and when you’re ready to return inside, why not linger a little while longer to gaze up at the stars. 

Tuscan Welcome

In the countryside, between Lucca and the ancient fountain-filled town of Montecatini Terme, this villa invites you to live the dolce vita. Lucca is ideal day-tripping distance away at a half-hour drive, and the fifteen-minute drive into Montecatini Terme sees you at supermarkets to stock up on supplies. 

Let’s start with that view, particularly from the outdoor dining table on the lawn – a patchwork of fields and orange-roofed towns in the valley below stretches for miles. A turquoise rectangle of swimming pool invites you for a dip in the heat of the day. The bird-cage-style seating area on the edge of the hillside is a particularly nice touch, especially for a sundowner looking out over the valley.

Honey-hued stonework and bricks on the outside give off that traditionally Tuscan aesthetic and inside you’ll find an open living space beneath a timber-beamed ceiling. This one’s for the foodies as there are three kitchens to choose from, including the summer kitchen outside. The area is teeming with olive oil producers, farmers markets and vineyards so you’ll want to spend days cooking, feasting and relaxing. 

Buon Appetito

Escape the crowds and live la dolce vita at this traditional farmhouse fringing the charming Tuscan village of Orentano. While exposed stonework, wooden beams, and a grand fireplace show the bones of the farmhouse's historical past, the rest of this swoon-worthy home is reimagined for luxurious, modern living. Between the lofty living spaces commanding picture-perfect views of the Tuscan rolling hills, the sumptuous bedrooms, and the sprawling lawned terraces outside, there's more than enough space to make yourselves at home in style here. Pad out with your morning expresso to soak up the early Tuscan rays from the loungers. Or up the ante with a jog around the acres of countryside that surround this magnificent abode – with a pit stop at the village bakery (seven minutes on foot) to pick up breakfast pastries. Then while away the rest of the day beneath the shady pergola, splash about in the swimming pool or rejuvenate in the cavernous indoor jacuzzi spa overlooking the garden. When thoughts turn to food, fire up the wood-burning pizza oven or barbecue for alfresco dining on the veranda - or take an early evening stroll into the village (seven minutes on foot) for authentic restaurants and a taste of Tuscan life.

Casa Dolce Casa

Buzzer / Wireless Intercom

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

Underfloor Heating

With this apartment, you can live the Tuscan dream in this restored 14th-century farmhouse set amid olive groves in the hills above Lucca. Okay, the pool is communal, so you’ll be sharing this idyll with other guests. But the views looking up to the medieval village of San Gennaro are beautiful and more than make up for this. The apartment itself is on the upper floor, so benefits from views over the Tuscan countryside. The bathrooms are a little dated perhaps, but the rest of the home has a cosy, traditional feel. When you fancy exploring, nearby Lucca has a whole host of treasures to discover or take a twenty-minute hike up the hill to San Gennaro.

Bells of San Gennaro

In the beautiful Tuscan countryside outside Lucca (a twenty-minute drive away), this villa epitomises la dolce vita. From your vantage point atop a verdant hill, you can gaze out over vineyards and olive groves – explore the local area by car for tastings at local wineries and olive farms. Perhaps bring back some spoils for a spot of aperitivo on the terrace. There are plenty of patios, balconies and shaded leafy nooks to choose from in the garden. Day beds and loungers line the poolside and the view from here, over the misty Tuscan hills all the way to Lucca, is particularly magnificent at sunset. 

The villa itself is a traditional medley of thick stone walls and a terracotta roof; just like the Tuscan farmhouses of old. The decor leans into the rustic vibe with wooden ceilings and stone walls on display, alongside ancient stone hearths in the living room and dining room. A mish-mash of dark wood antique furniture and floral sofas feel straight from the 19th century and a brickwork floor keeps things cool underfoot. Bedrooms are a delight to wake up to, with panoramic countryside views from the wood-shuttered windows. 

Vines & Olive Trees

Many illustrious figures throughout history have made Tuscany what it is today. From Leonardo da Vinci to Galileo, their masterpieces and works have shaped the region, drawing us in with a thirst for exploration and experience. The landscape is dotted with works of art in the form of cities like Florence, and the hillsides are so untainted it’s as if they’ve been captured by an artist on canvas forever. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and we can’t think of a better phrase to describe this home. Windows, doorways and shutters seize the views of Tuscany from every possible angle, providing snapshots of the world outside like moving pictures. There’s a level of luxury in this home which mirrors the stately historical architecture, making you feel as if you’ve stepped into the shoes of Italian society. And what better way to honour those who have come before, than by engaging in the tradition of an aperitivo in the garden before dinner? Saluti.  

Tactile Artistry

One glance at this 13th-century villa, and you'll feel like you've travelled back in time. Surrounded by acres of manicured gardens with fragrant flowers and fruit trees, this home effortlessly blends rustic charm with elegant decadence. Glimmering chandeliers hang from the wooden ceilings, art adorns the Tuscan stone walls and plush rugs line the traditional terracotta floor. You'll feel like royalty wandering the grounds and sleeping in the grand bedrooms, all with en-suites. Preparing an Italian feast is easy in the kitchen, which has been fully modernised while retaining its old-world charm. Better yet, hire a private chef to do all the cooking for you. Outside, take your pick from two lounge areas – one poolside, the other off the kitchen. Spend afternoons splashing in the pool and relaxing in the jacuzzi, before unwinding with an alfresco meal and glass of local wine under the stars. When you're ready for a bit of sightseeing, historic Lucca is just a ten-minute drive, while other sites like Pisa, Florence and the famous wine country are less than an hour away.

The very definition of Italian romance, this beautiful home in the village of Orentano is an ode to country living and sweet serenity. Sitting within the grounds of a larger villa, this apartment blends rustic charm with modern comforts to create a most memorable stay. 
 
From its tiled floors to its beamed ceilings, there’s an air of old Tuscan tradition here, bringing together classical and contemporary furnishings in elegant fashion. We love the large windows here that give way to views of the shared grounds – a lush green garden dotted with centuries-old trees and a glistening communal pool framed by sun loungers. Spend your days taking cool dips in its waters, soaking up the sun on the deck chairs and enjoying the table tennis, foosball and football field on offer. You’ve also got a private alfresco dining area adjacent to your apartment, the ideal spot to gather for sunny breakfasts or a celebratory barbecue feast under the stars. 
 
At the end of a fun day, retreat to your beautifully curated bedrooms for a dreamy night’s sleep, and wake to the prospect of another day of fun, filled with bicycle rides around the stunning countryside and cooking classes organised by your wonderfully friendly hosts who live on-site in a neighbouring apartment. 
 
While you could easily spend your entire stay luxuriating in your home's breathtaking setting, take some time to visit the nearby cultural sights of Pisa (just over forty minutes away by car) and Lucca (just under a thirty-minute drive).

Parking On Premises

Nestled between Lucca and Florence, this resorted villa will immediately make you feel at home. We love the contemporary kitchen, where family feasts will be lovingly prepared with the freshest Italian ingredients. The bedrooms offer a peaceful spot away from the group, and each has its own en-suite for ultimate convenience. However, there's no denying that the real pièce de résistance is the outdoor space. The garden is dotted with olive trees and fun-filled activities for little ones, while the swimming pool calls for an afternoon dip. Topping it off is the six-seater hot tub overlooking the vineyard – pure bliss.

With vistas over the surrounding vineyards, you couldn’t get a more Tuscan setting.

Inside, rustic charm is blended perfectly with modern features and designer furnishings. The accommodation is split between the main house and an annexe with one bedroom and an en-suite. The location is fantastic too – this home is situated between Lucca and Florence, so there’s plenty to see and do.

This premium Tuscan villa has everything you need for a dreamy escape in the Italian countryside. Private and peaceful, it's surrounded by the natural beauty of a nine acre olive estate. Feel any worries melt away in the midst of the breathtaking landscape.

Whilst being secluded, it's close enough to nearby towns for comfort and convenience. Bientina is just a five-minute drive away, an active town comprised of an olympic swimming pool, tennis courts and many fine restaurants. If you're really up for an adventure, Pisa and Florence are less than an hour away. 

But of course, you may never wish to leave the serenity of your home. Spend lazy afternoons by the pool, refreshing yourself each hour with crisp glasses of wine and fresh bread. When the sun sets on the luscious gardens, gather on the open-air table to watch the sky turn a dusty red.

If you'd prefer a cosy night in, the snug living space is a comfy spot to curl up in the evenings. Watch a film on the TV, chat about the excitement of tomorrow or just read a book amongst the tranquility.

The thoughtful restoration of two farmhouses brought this beautiful villa to life. Encircled by forests, olive groves, flowerbeds, and manicured hedges, it’s the picture of a Tuscan countryside home. From the bedrooms to the poolside loungers, the lush, green views will follow.

Stepping inside, you’ll find a charming interior that’s perfectly set up for family getaways. It’s welcoming and homely, with distinctly Tuscan touches that set the tone for a special stay. But we imagine you’ll be spending most of your time in the garden. Let the blissful hours roll by while you sip coffee beneath the fairytale-like pergola, take long swims in the pool, get lost in a good book, and explore the gorgeous gardens.

By night, the green and blue landscape comes alight with gold, the warm-toned solar lights casting a regal glow across the home. Prepare zingy salads in the farmhouse-style kitchen and get the barbecue going for a grilled feast, before tucking in alfresco beneath the sloping canopy. 

When it’s time to explore, the historic town of Lucca is just 5 miles away. Walk along the famous walls, take a bike ride through its hills, explore the many piazzas, and pop into elegant galleries. 

Be Enchanted

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). 

Valley of Serenity  

Perched on the rolling Tuscan hills outside the Medieval city of Lucca sits this grandiose home – a memory of a bygone age of Italian opulence. The breathtaking gardens are a particular highlight of the home, with the well-tended green grass lawns surrounded by Mediterranean herb bushes, cypress and cedar trees, and various specimens of exotic palm trees. Enjoy an afternoon cocktail, sitting in the sunshine in one of the wicker armchairs, or challenge a friend to a game of table tennis on the lawn. Alternatively, sit down with the family to enjoy an alfresco meal around the shaded outdoor dinner table, perhaps with food cooked on the mobile barbecue. Take a dip in the pool to cool off from the midday Tuscan sun. Inside the villa, the theme of elegant opulence continues with the beautiful living room, and four unique bedrooms. The master bedroom even boasts an en-suite bathroom with both a shower and a jacuzzi jet bath for unwinding and relaxing after a day of seeing the sights. In the kitchen, the traditional wood-fired oven is perfect for cooking handmade pizza. Finally, there's a children’s playroom for the little ones, as well as a home gym with a running treadmill and a weights bench to keep in shape.

Cedar Serenity

Throws

With rolling hills and the stretching horizon for company, this home is a perfect fit if you’re looking for a great location and even greater features. From here, take a drive to Florence where you can admire renaissance art before a pizza and pasta making class. Once done, put your newfound knowledge – and the dual barbecue and pizza oven back at the villa – to good use with dough skills and imaginative toppings. 

Also surrounding you are some of the most vibrant cafes and restaurants, as well as tourist attractions for the bucket list. Leaving might prove difficult though, especially when there's a spa, jacuzzi, and beautiful pool at your fingertips. After a morning spent focussing on wellness and rejuvenation, sink into the generous sofa and catch up on reading before an alfresco lunch under the poolside gazebo.  

Michelangelo

Fit for royalty, this beautiful home sits in an estate once owned by Elisa Bonaparte, the former princess of Lucca and sister of Napoleon. It boasts panoramic views of the Tuscan countryside and a lush garden. You’ll have a pool with a Jacuzzi corner to unwind in, and if you fancy stretching your legs, you can set off on walking trails amid the vineyards. We love the Tuscan charm of the villa, with its beamed ceilings and terracotta floors – though there are plenty of modern amenities to ensure that your stay is a comfortable one, including a sauna.

Heated Pool

Blessed with an isolated spot in the Tuscan hills, there's something rather tranquil about this home and you're sure to find it easy to relax, whether you're splashing about in the swimming pool, cooking up dinner in the summer kitchen or simply admiring the beautiful views.

There's a lot to like about the home itself, too. Dating back to the 17th century and spending much of its life as a farmhouse, the living quarters are understandably a little traditional – note the stone archways, wooden ceiling beams and terracotta tiling underfoot. There are some more contemporary aspects though, including the recently renovated kitchen and Jacuzzi bathtub.

When it comes to getting to know Tuscany a little better, the town of Montecatini Terme is only 10km and has nine thermal spas to visit. A little further afield, the Renaissance-era architecture of Lucca is 30km away, while Viareggio's beach is 55km from the home – close enough for a day trip or two, we'd say.
