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.

Patio / Terrace

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.

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.

The Magic Before

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

Outdoor Pool

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.

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

First Aid Kit

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.

Nice to haves

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.

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. 

Vineyard Dream

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.

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.

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  

DVD Library

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

Black-Out Blinds

Balcony / Patio

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

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

DVD Player

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. 

Seeing Serenity

Shared Pool

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

A scenic drive through olive groves brings you to this apartment housed in a 14th-century farmhouse. You can relax by the shared pool or in the beautiful communal gardens. We love the views down the valley toward Lucca from here. The apartment itself has beautiful vistas of the neighbouring vineyards and olive groves from virtually every room. There’s a blend of modern furnishings and original features, such as the chestnut beams, creating a homely atmosphere. And there’s plenty to do out and about. Have a twenty-minute hike up the hill to San Gennaro, where you can visit the local trattorias. The area is also surrounded by well-marked paths perfect for exploring the Tuscan landscape or have a drive over to Lucca.

Scenic Olive Groves

Sauna

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.

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

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.

Tuscan Winery

Shared Washing Machine

Once part of a 14th century farmhouse, this apartment is a Tuscan gem. Less than ten miles from Lucca near the village of San Gennaro, this home is off the beaten track – so much so that cars with lower suspension may struggle to reach the front door. Upon arrival, you'll find a living and dining area with an unobtrusive kitchen, plus two double bedrooms, one with its own outdoor seating area. Speaking of outdoors, perhaps the home's star attraction is its dazzling pool area, which you'll share with guests in other apartments. Perfect for basing up in the heart of Tuscany, you can explore the region at leisure, or simply admire the vineyards and olive groves from your sun lounger.

Hillside Olive

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

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. 

Italian Stone

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. 

Verde Vista

Stylish and sophisticated, this apartment is a comfortable base for friends and families. It's got all the essentials you'll need – a well-appointed kitchen, two cosy bedrooms, and two convenient bathrooms. Speaking of convenience, the location is a big plus. Right in the heart of Montecarlo, you'll be treated to sweeping views of rolling hills and the area's vineyards. The charming main street is right on your doorstep – as is a prestigious Michelin-starred restaurant. Lucca is slightly further afield, yet still within easy driving distance – perfect for a day trip.

Private Dryer

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

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 

Ice Machine

Located just outside the historic and picturesque town of Lucca in the emblematic rolling hills of Tuscany, this beautiful, traditional-style home oozes a certain classic elegance – one which, like a fine wine, seems only to increase in charm as the decades pass. This one-time hunting lodge has been painstakingly restored and fitted with many of the things you could need for a relaxing and memorable stay in a unique setting. 
Step into the lovingly maintained interiors of this home and feel as though you've been transported back to a bygone era, appreciating the old-world atmosphere as you find yourself surrounded by blissful views over the countryside. 

Spend long, sun-soaked days in the garden, the grounds of which are filled with ancient trees, fragrant flowers and bathed in the inimitable light that characterises this part of Italy, before retreating into the huge living areas of the villa to sip a pre-dinner Aperol Spritz as the sun sets. Then, having prepared something delicious to eat in the authentic terracotta-tiled kitchen, why not enjoy the fruits of your labour in the grand dining room, spending quality time together over some truly delicious morels of regional produce?

In the surrounding area, through relatively rural and quiet, you will find a number of idyllic villages clinging to hillsides or nestled in the valleys, home to cafes, shops, and trattorias where you can sample the local way of life as well as the cuisine.

Like A Fine Merlot

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

In the hills between Lucca and Florence, this homely apartment is the perfect spot for an Italian holiday. Butter yellow walls and sheer white curtains that let the sun shine through make the bedrooms a cheerful place to wake up. Have some breakfast on the terrace to take in sprawling views of Tuscany’s rolling hills, before heading down to spend the day in the lush garden. Swim a few laps of the shared pool, or just relax under the pergola, surrounded by olive groves and grapevines. In the evening, head back to your cosy abode, where wooden ceiling beams, exposed stone walls and antique furnishings lend an old-world charm – there's even a classic cherub fresco in the main bedroom. To end the day, open a bottle of local wine and have a family-style meal in the kitchen, where a six-seater dining table ensures there’s plenty of space for sous-chefs to hang out. 

Sunflowers and Grapevines

Wine Cooler

Indoor Pool

If you’re looking for a relaxing escape in Tuscany, then this renovated stone house is sure to fit the bill. Not only does this home have amazing valley views, but there’s an outdoor pool and terrace as well as an indoor swimming pool and sauna. The living space and kitchen are packed with character features such as beams. And the bedrooms have more wonderful vistas of the Tuscan countryside and the towns of the Svizzera Pesciatina, such as Sorana which can easily be explored. Other places worth visiting within driving distance include Montecarlo, Montecatini Alto and Lucca. 

Pool Time

Sitting pretty in the Tuscan Hills, this charmingly rustic villa offers a glimpse at what feels like a traditional Italian home – think ceiling beams, exposed brick walls and a sweet little kitchen that has just the things you need. The brightly coloured walls will add energy and Italian-style verve to your day, while the views make getting out of bed each morning a treat. The gardens are lush and sprawling and provide plenty of space to roam about or play games. Come evening, be sure to light up the barbecue, enjoy a few poolside drinks and end with a drawn-out dinner on the terrace.

Terracotta Paintbrush

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.

Tuscan American

Courtyard

Fenced Garden

Nestled amongst the Tuscan hills, this generous villa is split across two buildings and is well-equipped for large groups or families. The rustic interiors won’t be everyone’s cup of tea but the private swimming pool and manicured garden guarantee a relaxing stay. If you find yourself in the mood for socialising, the large outdoor dining area is the perfect place for an alfresco dinner. The location is fairly remote and well suited to those who are keen to explore the countryside and vineyards, but if you are looking for a day trip, Lucca isn’t too far away.

La Grande Villa Rosa

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. 


Love From Tuscany

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.


Diamond Dove

We love this charmingly rustic apartment high in the Tuscan hills. Boasting sweeping views of the valley below and under a thirty-minute drive from Lucca, this hillside home is also within easy reach of the medieval town of Pescia, where you’ll find twisting cobbled streets, ancient churches and palaces, as well as shops, restaurants, and gelaterias. The apartment’s open-plan living and dining area welcomes you with traditional timbered ceilings, a stone fireplace and a well-equipped kitchen. This room would be perfect for hanging out with friends and family – if you can stay away from the outdoor areas, that is. With a mature garden blooming with roses and lavender, panoramic views, and a shared pool, we bet you’ll find yourselves spending most of your time out here. And while much of the outdoor space is shared with the other apartments in the building, you get a private terrace designed for alfresco meals, evening aperitivi, and much more.

Capturing The Cupola

Wheelchair Access

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.
