Far more than its stunning setting, this home offers a private swimming pool and multiple outdoor seating areas from which to soak up the Nievole Valley views below. Opening out onto the terrace, the countryside-style kitchen and alfresco dining area invite you to dine like the locals. And since Monsummano Terme village centre is just 3 kilometres away, you won't have to go far to pick up some local ingredients and other essentials. Meanwhile, day trips to Pistoia, Lucca, Florence, Pisa or Viareggio Beach are easily planned from this Tuscan paradise too.

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

Greeting you with wrought-iron gates, this eighteenth-century Tuscan villa immerses you in the past while maintaining one foot firmly in the present. Set in rolling countryside, just a short drive from the city of Pistoia, it's about as charming as it gets. Think staggering scenery, beautiful terraces, stone courtyards and terracotta tiles. The estate is private and pristine, with immaculate lawns, fragrant flowers and a backdrop of gently swaying pine trees. It's out here that we think you'll spend most of your time, by the glorious infinity pool with far-reaching views. Up at the house, you'll step into history, with so many character features it could be used as a setting for a film. There's a grand living space, with a magnificent fireplace and huge dining table, along with a rustic kitchen and a second lounge. But it's the bedrooms that we fell head over heels with – furnished with antiques and with beamed ceilings and shuttered windows, they're simply beautiful. The ground floor bedroom even opens to a covered veranda with a table and chairs, and the master bedroom's ensuite has a Turkish bath where you can enjoy some aromatherapy. Dining outside on the terrace is an all-day affair, with a barbecue for some of the fresh produce you can pick up locally. And in the evening, why not slip into the hot tub as the sun sets. And although it feels secluded, this place is just a forty-minute drive from Lucca and an hour from Florence.

Whether you’re in search of a romantic wedding destination or an immersive Tuscan retreat, this home delivers a dream-worthy solution. From the sweeping countryside views to the private pool (heated upon request), outdoor bar and elegant rooms, every detail has been considered to inspire total relaxation. It’s also extremely well located with the medieval village of Montecatini Alto just a five-minute drive away, and the historic city of Pistoia also within easy driving distance.

From its elevated position in the verdant hills of Valdinievole, this home offers stunning views and all the essentials you could need for a blissful Italian break. There’s a private pool for refreshing swims and a gazebo with an outdoor kitchen for alfresco dining. You’ll also find plenty to keep the whole family entertained with a children’s playground, a ping pong table and an indoor games area. The rooms are simple, fresh and thoughtfully designed to inspire relaxation. Plus, it’s in a fantastic location. From here, it’s just a short drive to the famous spa town of Montecatini, while Florence and Lucca are also within driving distance.

Surrounded by the rolling green hills of the Valdinievole, this imposing villa has been fully restored to offer the perfect mix of period character, classical elegance and modern convenience. Standing in newly landscaped grounds, it's the perfect picture of a Tuscan villa – with white walls, terracotta tiles and tall cypress trees. And we love the tower room that tops it all off with its arched windows.

Inside, the space is beautifully decorated with bold colours and frescoes. Exposed beamed ceilings and wood floors to many of the rooms add charm, while a practical, modern kitchen comes with all the equipment you could need to cook at home and the bathrooms are all stylish and individual. The living room has a particularly cosy feel, with a fireplace for winter escapes and striking red walls. A similar room on the top floor serves as a second lounge and has a sofa bed for two guests – ideal for children.

Spend your days by the private pool, which boasts incredible views, or drive less than ten minutes into the town and its famous spas. And for a day out, it's easy to drive to any of the area's main attractions – Florence, Pistoia, Lucca and Pisa.

When staying in the spa town of Montecatini Terme, it’s only right to have a spa of your own. This gorgeous villa, nestled between Florence and Lucca, has relaxation down to a tee. Want for nothing with expansive gardens, a private gym, a huge glistening pool, and a spa complete with a huge jacuzzi, sauna, and Turkish bath. 

It might have every luxury you could ask for, with a modern interior that practically sparkles, but the home is traditional and charming. Creamy walls, white shuttered windows, and a terracotta tiled roof, characteristic of a Tuscan abode, set the scene for a blissful stay. 

While the home itself is lovely, we can’t get over the panoramic views of the Tuscan countryside. Atmospheric rolling hills and sprawling fields are everywhere you turn. It’s the perfect setting to unwind and relax by the pool. Better yet, take in the view from your jacuzzi. The spa might be for the grown-ups, but the kids will love the opportunities for games in the L-shaped pool.

If you thought the days were beautiful, dusk brings new meaning to the word. Watch the golden sun dip into the countryside from one of the patio seating areas, glass of local wine in hand. Then, gather beneath the woven pergola and get started with dinner on the stone brick barbecue. 

When it’s time to explore, the centre of Montecatini Terme is only moments away. Take the funicular train up the hill to the old town for a delicious dinner and even better views.

Fenced Property

This Italian home boasts panoramic views of the Pistoia hills from the poolside. Comprising a main house and barn rented as one, you’ll have four living rooms to spill out into here. With a pool table, table football, and archery, there’s plenty to keep the kids happy, and outdoor meals will be easy thanks to two alfresco dining tables, a barbecue, and an outdoor oven. The layout here won’t suit everyone – the home is spread over several floors and one of the staircases is open – and the traditional decor won’t be to everyone’s tastes, but it’s a great option for those seeking a house with personality. Location-wise, you’re in the village of Massa e Cozzile, with Lucca, Pisa, and Versilia within driving distance for day trips. 

Home and Garden

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.

With vistas over the surrounding vineyards, you couldn’t get a more Tuscan setting. The beautiful garden has a swimming pool and Jacuzzi, plenty of seating areas, a kids’ playground and there’s a barbeque for sociable meals with family and friends. 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.

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.

Beyond the Vine

Sitting among the green hills of the Valdinievole, this quintessentially Tuscan villa puts guests in the middle of some truly gorgeous scenery, while offering plenty to do should they ever tire of the views – although we think that's unlikely to happen.

During the warmer months, it's not difficult to imagine countless hours spent in the home's outdoor space. The swimming pool is sure to be popular on summer afternoons, but you can just as easily enjoy the sunshine while playing table tennis on the terrace or enjoying hearty alfresco feasts on the pergola.

The home itself is fairly traditional in character, with wooden beams and exposed stonework lending a certain rustic charm. That being said, you can tell from the wealth of contemporary features that the host has put a lot of effort into the interior in recent years – the sleek kitchen and upper-floor Turkish bath are a bit of a giveaway, as are the bar games and decorative motorcycle that all add a bit of Americana to proceedings.

You can see a whole lot of Tuscany from the home's balconies and terrace, but if you ever want a bit more of a close-up, the thermal baths and opulent villas in the spa town of Montecatini Terme are 4km away, while the medieval city of Pistoia is around 15km away.

Umbrellas

This magnificent yellow house sits in the rolling countryside between Lucca and Tuscany, offering incredible views of this lush, green part of Italy. The home is elegant and unique, with ceiling frescoes in the bedrooms and even a consecrated chapel in the grounds – this would be a magical setting for a wedding. 

Special events aside, this is a wonderful holiday home whether you’re travelling with friends or family. There’s plenty of room, including a spacious traditional kitchen – why not hire a private chef and enjoy an alfresco feast on the terrace? The outdoor space is marvellous, set over several terraced levels. The result is incredible views of the Tuscan countryside from every angle. The swimming pool is sheltered from view by a row of trees on one side, and open to sweeping views on the other – it’s glorious at any time of day, but we’re particularly fond of a sunset swim. 

The villa is only a thirty-minute drive from Lucca, and within easy reach of Florence too – the train to Florence takes an hour and eleven minutes. Spend a morning in Lucca admiring the architecture from a picturesque square, then stroll around the medieval centre with a gelato. For some top-notch relaxation, we recommend driving fourteen minutes to Montecatini Terme. This gem of a town boasts nine thermal spas housed in historic buildings – it feels like stepping back in time in the best way. 

There’s so much to see and do in this beautiful part of Italy, and this spectacular home is the ideal base from which to explore. When you’ve taken in all the sights you can manage, recline on the terrace with a glass of Chianti. Bliss. 


You Are My Sunshine

This Italian idyll is in the heart of the Tuscan countryside, close to the charming city of Pistoia. There’s a pretty pool for swimming leisurely laps, space to sunbathe in the secluded garden, and a veranda for al fresco meals. Inside, the rooms are set over three floors and blend simple décor with hints of country character, like wooden shutters and stone tiles. While the villa feels nicely nestled away from it all, it’s in a great location for exploring more of Tuscany – halfway between Florence and Lucca and not far from the coast at Versilia.

Pistoia Hills

Desk

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

Boasting noble origins and surrounded by 10 hectares of land, this villa guarantees a stay to remember. Inside, you'll find 19th-century antiques and ceiling frescoes – and while this may not appeal to the modernists among you, the place has that quintessential Tuscan charm that we can’t get enough of. Taking advantage of the glorious weather couldn’t be easier thanks to the alfresco dining terrace and seating area, and when you need to cool off, there’s a private pool. Location-wise, Montecatini Terme is within easy driving distance, but if you fancy exploring further afield, Pisa is our day-trip destination of choice.

Tuscany Oasis

Tucked into the Tuscan hills in Monsummano Terme, this villa promises a truly tranquil retreat. Inside, the home holds onto its traditional charm with wooden beams and exposed brickwork, yet seamlessly marries this with contemporary furnishings that invite relaxation. Not to be outdone, the outdoor space is a sun-kissed haven. You’ll never tire of the far-reaching vistas, while the private pool is the perfect place to cool off in the heat of the day. Locally, venture into Monsummano Terme to visit the thermal springs, and a trip to Grotta Giusti, a natural thermal cave, is a must for an invigorating spa experience.

This home is packed with Tuscan charm – no surprise, considering it was built in the 18th century. Originally two houses (now combined into one), this place has a lot of room to spare. It's filled with antiques, old-school artwork, and buckets of character. The layout is a little quirky, given its past, so expect several stairs, a sofa bed for two, and some beds on the mezzanines – you'll also need to provide your own towels. And we can't forget the garden. Set on 7 hectares, you'll have fantastic views across the western slopes of Monte Albano – best enjoyed from the pool, Jacuzzi, or alfresco dining terrace. Factor in the proximity to Florence, and we think it's a no-brainer.

Tuscan Mahogany

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.

A Little Bit of Me-Time

Parking On Street

Enjoy a scenic Italian getaway with a stay in this Tuscan retreat. You’ll be welcomed by paronamic views across olive groves and rolling hills. There’s a private pool, a Jacuzzi and a large terrace with a barbecue for dreamy evenings under the stars. Inside, the rooms are simple, cool and well-suited to families. Your host can help organise a private chef on request as well as a range of experiences. Plus, there’s plenty to explore in the surroundings with easy access to Montecatini Alto, Lucca, Florence and Siena.

Tuscany Beauty

Single-Level Home

Surrounded by silvery olive trees and architectural Italian cypresses, this traditional Tuscan farmhouse's bucolic setting would make even the Mona Lisa grin from ear to ear. Out and about, the birthplace of Leonardo Da Vinci is just down the road. If you prefer countryside pursuits, there's plenty of walks right on your doorstep. But you don't even have to leave the grounds for picturesque strolls – the large, sunny garden offers plenty to explore. Immerse yourself in your holiday read by the pool, or sit on one of the comfy outdoor sofas under an umbrella, listening to birdsong. With its charming wicker lampshades, wooden beams and window shutters, along with terracotta and terrazzo flooring, this home is full of character and warmth. On chillier nights, gather around the fireplace, flanked by vintage wine barrels, with a glass of Sangiovese wine in hand, and let the conversation flow. Whatever the season, like a fine work of art this joyful place will always delight. 

Luogo Gioioso

Beach / Pool Towels

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

This serene escape is where refined luxury meets the pure beauty of Tuscany. Set in the hills just outside Florence, Lucca and Pisa, the villa is surrounded by acres of unspoiled nature. Days unfold between the travertine pool, panoramic jacuzzi, and peaceful garden. Inside, light-filled spaces and thoughtfully designed suites feel luxurious but never fussy. Whether you’re sharing family meals, exploring nearby vineyards, or simply listening to the natural spring flowing, this is a stay that invites you to slow down and savour every moment.

Graceful View

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.

Grande Amore

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

When In Vinci

Between the ancient majesty of Florence and the walled city of Lucca, this stately residence will drop you straight into 19th Century Tuscany. This rousing region of Italy is a sight to behold, and it’s easy to believe the landscape hasn’t changed much since this home was first built. The history of the province runs deep and leads straight through the centre of this grand villa. Each of the rooms has its own thrilling touch of a bygone age, with guests getting to live a piece of it. Take a quiet moment with a good book in one of the parlours, or head out onto the lawn and sip your morning espresso with nothing but the birds and the stunning views. 

Days can be spent topping up the perfect holiday tan and cooling off with a plunge in the private pool, or perhaps if you're more musically inclined, entertain the other guests with a tinkle of the ivories on the home's piano, which can be found in one of the beautiful parlours. One of our favourite rooms is the detached dining hall with its curved ceiling and long table. It speaks of grand old parties where the wine flowed well into the early hours. This is a villa of a golden age, a haven of exploration, and a memorable place to assemble your crew for a getaway. 

For those looking to get out and see the sights, the breathtaking city of Florence is a little under an hour's drive away, and boasts a wealth of shopping, dining, and sightseeing opportunities, including Galleria dell'Accademia and Basilica di Santa Croce, or if getting back to nature is what you're looking for, you're in luck. Grab your most comfortable walking shoes and lose yourself in the wilds of the Florentine countryside, right from your front door.

Olive Groves Of Old

With the shops, cafes and eateries of Lamporecchio on your doorstep and picturesque Pistoia no more than a thirty-minute drive away, this apartment is perfectly placed for a laid-back family holiday. There’s a private balcony for enjoying a traditional Italian lunch in the sunshine and a small communal pool for hot summer days. Inside the home, the kitchen is fully equipped for rustling up something tasty, and the bedrooms have everything you need for a comfortable night’s sleep.

Freesia Blossom

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.

Pescia Paradise

Changing Table

Tennis Court

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

Nestled at the foot of the Apennine Mountains in the hamlet of Montaccolle, this gold-toned haven is the ideal getaway spot. Listen to leaves dance in the gentle Tuscan breeze as you lay on your lounger, cocktail in hand. The private swimming pool boasts views over rolling hills, peppered with rural villages and country estates.

If you're travelling in a group, you won't have any trouble finding your own space to enjoy the peace and quiet. The villa has multiple outdoor areas equipped with comfy seating – whether it's the wicker set on the top-floor terrace or the inviting garden sofa tucked down the side of the house. Inside, get settled in the homely living area, where wooden accents and traditional furniture create a decidedly rustic feel.

Just fifteen minutes down the road, you'll find Montecatini Terme, a hilltop town rich in characterful cafés and pretty tree-lined streets. From here, you can enjoy far-reaching views over the countryside. Pistoia is also close by – a warren of wide piazzas and grand architecture, this classic Italian city is well worth a visit while you're in the area.

The Tuscan Sun

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

Whereas most homes give you a single terrace if you're lucky, this Tuscan property spoils you with outdoor spaces. As well as a lounge given some shade by a large parasol, there's also a separate deck with an alfresco dining table and a stone barbecue, plus another area that holds a swimming pool.

Although we're betting you'll be spending most of your time in the open air, the interior is also pleasing to the eye as well. Through the arched doorways, guests will be greeted by a rustic interior, complete with cooling tiles on the floor, patterned walls in the kitchen and lots of botanical-themed artwork dotted about the place.

The local village of Vellano can be reached in around ten minutes' stroll and has a couple of restaurants for when you get peckish. Further afield, there are Tuscan towns that can be reached in under an hour's drive, such as Montecatini Terme, Lucca and Pistoia. If you're up for a slightly longer journey, Florence is only an hour and twenty minutes' drive from the home.

Spinning Around the Sun

High on a hill near Vinci, the birthplace of Leonardo, this villa is a fantastic option for families. A self-contained annexe housing the seventh bedroom is perfect for grandparents, and there's more than enough room in the main house for the rest of the party. The garden is, of course, the biggest draw here. Spend your days swimming in the seasonal pool, enjoying sundowners on the terrace, and admiring the far-reaching valley views. Outdoorsy sorts can stroll through the surrounding olive groves and vineyards. Florence is also 35 kilometres away if you fancy an adventure further afield.
