Nestled in the heart of Tuscany, this villa offers breathtaking views of the Val d'Elsa. A former barn dating back to 1620, expect to find plenty of character touches inside – we're talking 5-metre high ceilings, wooden beams, and even fossil shells contained in the external walls. Outside, the panoramic terrace is perfect for alfresco wining and dining. There's also a heated pool, where you can float the afternoon away and admire the scenery. Explore nearby medieval towns like San Gimignano, indulge in local delicacies with private chefs and cooking classes – your host can arrange them for a fee – and create unforgettable memories in this Tuscan paradise.

This beautiful home is one of a kind. It allows guests to experience Tuscan life in an authentic way, with everything you might need at your fingertips.

The apartment has been converted from the old barn of the farm, lovingly transformed into a traditional Tuscan home. You can look forward to wooden beams and shutters, antique furniture, and stunning views of the Tuscan countryside – it’s the perfect rustic escape. A fifteen-minute stroll will take you into the small country village of Vico d’Elsa, where you’ll find a fabulous pizzeria and a restaurant, as well as somewhere to stock up on groceries – ideal if you’re planning to cook on the barbecue. 

San Gimignano and its iconic towers are a twenty-two-minute drive. It’s a wonderful day trip – spend your time meandering around the narrow cobbled streets, stopping to enjoy coffee and gelato in a piazza, and soaking up the atmosphere of this historic town. 

Whether you spend your visit traversing the towns of Tuscany or prefer to stay close to home, you’ll be happy to have chosen this lovely spot. Sip lemonade by the pool as you recline in the sunshine and take in the view. Dine on the covered terrace, and admire the brightly coloured flowers dotted around the property.

In a sleepy town in Tuscany, this breathtaking apartment is a unique find. Set in a former palazzo, it boasts classical Tuscan features like high ceilings, traditional archways, and a grand red brick exterior. Neutral colours inside contrast with the spectacular frescoed walls. We love the Rococo-style cherub fresco above the bed, lending the room a celestial aura. There is plenty of space to relax in the large open plan living area, and the fully stocked kitchen is perfect for practising your Italian home cooking. 

Certaldo Alto is a charming walled Medieval town, home to winding cobbled streets, picturesque churches, family run restaurants, and sprawling views of the verdant Tuscan countryside. It is 35km from Florence, making a day trip to the city easy. While you are there, be sure to sample some of the excellent wines from the region. After a day of exploring, kick back on the sofa in your opulent living room, before retreating to the serene calm of the bedroom for a perfect night’s sleep. With its romantic setting and unbeatable location, this would be the perfect getaway for couples.

Nestled away in the countryside outside the idyllic hilltown of San Gimignano, this extraordinary villa combines exquisite interior design and a sprawling collection of amenities to make for an address that is sure to win over even the most discerning of guests.

As you walk about the house for the first time, you might find it difficult to single out a favourite room. There's a timeless elegance to the dining room surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows and centred around a grand piano, while the neighbouring kitchen is surprisingly modern in style and is sure to excite those with a culinary calling. 

And that's before we've even got around to the impressive grounds. On summer days, the swimming pool surrounded by leafy vegetation is sure to beckon, but there's also a wealth of peaceful spots out on the various terraces. As if that wasn't enough, guests are also blessed with a tennis court, which can be found about 500m from the home.

With this much to occupy you at the address, you just might never feel the need to leave, but San Gimignano – about 3km away – is well worth a visit. Don't just take our word, though –The historic centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Both the cities of Siena and Florence are close enough to warrant a day trip, too.

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

This charming apartment is in the old town of Colle di Val d'Elsa, a typically medieval region of Tuscany famous for crystal glass production. It’s a ten-minute stroll into the centre where you’ll find restaurants, cafés and archaeological museums beyond the ancient town walls. Further afield, the city of Siena is a half-hour drive away, ideal for a day trip.

The apartment itself is housed in a striking 16th-century building just outside the bridge that leads to il Castello. Wood beams on display hark back to the building’s roots, but the decor is decidedly modern. Vibrant modern art is displayed above the plush, L-shaped sofa and the kitchen is a sleek space of white cabinets. The best bit is the view from French-style windows, which shows off golden fields and hills, even though you’re a short walk from the town centre.

Beyond the Bridge

Heated Towel Rail

Fenced Garden

Situated in a small complex amid the Tuscan countryside, this pet-friendly home centres around a 13th-century tower. With a grand fireplace and stone arches awaiting inside, there's no better base for a fairytale holiday. While it's three to a bedroom upstairs and better suited to tight-knit families, the outdoor space gives everyone room to spread out. During the summer, your downtime will be spent enjoying poolside barbecues and lazing on the lawn. Maybe the historic setting will inspire a trip to the medieval town of San Gimignano.

Medieval Lullabies

Flooded with light, courtesy of the arched windows, this home is perfect for a couple’s getaway. Traditional in style, the main thing missing here is an oven – but isn’t that the perfect excuse to dine out on fine Italian cuisine instead? Outdoors, you’ll find generous gardens and a swimming pool, shared with the other residents, just perfect for soaking up the Tuscan sun. Ready to venture out? We recommend a trip to San Gimignano. Its famous towers are a must-see in the area, while the local restaurants will cater to your dinner needs. 

Heart of Tuscany

Breakfast Included

This stunning Tuscan villa is perfect for groups of family or friends looking to unwind in style. The villa is tucked away in the beautiful Tuscan countryside, surrounded by trees and greenery so it feels a million miles from the hustle and bustle. Yet when you want to dine out or embark on a tour, you need only drive 8 kilometres to reach historic San Gimignano. There’s plenty to keep you entertained at the villa, too, with a private pool and a pergola that’s ideal for alfresco dining. Your host can even organise a private chef for you, so all you have to do is sit back, relax, and enjoy.

The Noble Hour

Just a short drive from historic San Gimignano and its iconic towers, this apartment is a delightful base for six. It’s on a complex in a stunning position close to vineyards and olive groves, and the views of the surrounding hills are breathtaking. You’ll have access to the shared pool, which is perfect for cooling off when the temperature climbs. The apartment is typically Tuscan in style, so you can expect exposed wooden beams and tiled floors. It’s rustic and full of charm. 

Ancient Hills

Surrounded by vineyards and olive trees in the Tuscan countryside, this apartment ensures a restful stay for a family or a group of friends. We loved the traditional features, particularly the exposed stone walls and the timber beams. Outside, there’s a dining table and chairs for alfresco lunches and a communal swimming pool for keeping cool in the summer. You’ll need to hire a car for stress-free exploring – the medieval city of Siena is less than an hour’s drive away.


A Touch of Tuscany 

Beach / Pool Towels

Fenced Property

Slow the pace at this rural hayloft converted villa, nestled in the beauty of the Chianti hills. Whether it’s the picturesque views, alluring turquoise pool, lush cypress-lined garden, or the gently shaded canopy area, this home encourages outdoor living – you’ll have no choice but to surrender yourself to the serenity of the Tuscan countryside. Idle afternoons are best spent dining alfresco under the veranda, ambling through endless crops and olive groves, or perusing the rolling hills down below. Unutterably pretty, we love the exposed stone, wood-beamed ceilings and tiled flooring that makes this home feel like a traditional escape. Secluded yet conveniently located, it’s worth venturing out too – the medieval town of San Gimignano is nearby, boasting its ancient towers and charming cobbled streets. 

Tempo Giusto

Nestled on the ancient walls of the watch tower in a restored farmhouse, this home promises a tranquil escape in the Tuscan countryside. With a communal swimming pool and gardens, it’s easy to make the most of the Mediterranean climate – and this apartment boasts a private patio and courtyard, too. The traditional interiors showcase the home’s past, and while there’s no oven here, you can whip up light bites in the kitchen. Locally, it’s a short drive to San Gimignano – perfect for dining out, and a visit to its famous towers is a must. 

A Tuscan Soul

DVD Player

Take a step back in time at this 18th-century estate, overlooking the rolling Tuscan countryside. With gorgeous outdoor space and stunning views for miles, it's the perfect place to press pause and relax. 

The estate is actually composed of two separate homes, meaning there's plenty of room for everyone to enjoy some peace and quiet. The old timber beams and brick arches give you a taste of how it must have looked in bygone days, and the open fireplaces add to the rustic charm. One of our favourite spots has to be outside under the gazebo – take it from us, it’s a glorious place for your morning coffee. 

The historical cities of Florence, Lucca, and Pisa are all within driving distance, so this is the perfect opportunity to tick them all off your bucket list. Even closer to home, you can explore the many charms of San Gimignano, the hilltop town with a rich history. Busy days of sightseeing can be offset with peaceful bicycle rides or perhaps a Chianti vineyard tour. And, you can always take a bottle of red back to the house to enjoy on the terrace after a few lengths in the swimming pool – perfection. 

Pulpa de Tomate

Tucked away in the countryside, surrounded by vineyards and olive trees, this apartment is the rural retreat you’ve been searching for. Sure, its traditional style may not suit everyone. In addition, the kitchen is basic – so don’t expect to be whipping up huge family feasts. That said, it’s all the more reason to indulge in delicious local cuisine – just head to San Gimignano. And, with a communal swimming pool and gardens, this home is the perfect place for basking under the Tuscan sun in pure peace. 

Marble & Olives

Balcony / Patio

If you’re seeking peace and quiet in the Tuscan countryside, this farmhouse surrounded by olive groves and vineyards is just the ticket. While the traditional interiors won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, we think they’re part of the charm. Outside, there’s a private garden overlooking the landscape, a shaded terrace for dining, and a small private pool. Although the rural location means having a car is essential here, you’re within easy driving distance of Certaldo and Emploi should you fancy embarking on a day trip.


Tuscan Mirage

Nestled in a restored farmhouse in the heart of the Tuscan countryside, this apartment is the perfect place to immerse yourself in nature. Tailor-made for two, the traditional interiors may not suit everyone, but the classic four-poster bed is sure to bring a smile to anyone’s face. With no oven here, the kitchen is best suited to light bites – but all the more reason to dine out locally on Italian cuisine. On days not spent lounging by the communal pool, a visit to nearby San Gimignano to see the iconic towers is a must.

Stone & Vine

This stone villa ticks all the boxes for a Tuscan getaway. A former barn, the interiors have been given a modern makeover – though it's certainly not lacking in traditional character. When the sun is shining, make a beeline to the garden. Enjoy a dip in the private pool, stretch out on the sun loungers, or fire up the barbecue and dine alfresco on the terrace. Location-wise, the quaint village of Campiglia is just a few hundred metres away. Also nearby are Colle Val d'Elsa, Siena, and Volterra if you're in the mood for a day trip.

Ravenna

Boasting floor-to-ceiling windows that make the most of the surrounding Tuscan countryside, this cosy villa is perfect for a small family or group of friends. Set on a complex alongside other villas and apartments, you can enjoy the communal swimming pool and gardens here – but, as a bonus, this home also has a private terrace. Its traditional style may not tick everyone’s boxes, and there’s no oven here, but with San Gimignano a short drive away, dining out is sure to be on the menu – as is a visit to the town’s famous towers.

Sunset in the Hills

In the undulating Tuscan countryside, this villa sits atop a hill, right on the ancient oil and wine route through olive groves and vineyards. It’s a fifteen-minute drive from Volterra, a medieval walled town with plenty of farm-to-table restaurants and old churches to explore. And Siena is just under an hour’s drive for a day trip.

Panoramic views take centre stage outdoors, where raised terraces can provide shaded spots for meals outside. From a poolside lounger, you can admire the forest-clad hills around you, before slipping into the turquoise pool to cool off from the sun. Aperitivo is best served on the first-floor terrace, where comfy seating looks out over the countryside.

The villa may have the stone facade and arched windows of a traditional Tuscan farmhouse, but the wall of glass in the living and dining room is a testament to the 21st century. There’s more than enough room for the group to spread out and dine together at two banquet-sized tables inside. Unwind beneath a brick vaulted ceiling in the evening. Chefs will feel right at home in the kitchen – all chrome and steel like the professional kitchens of a Michelin-starred restaurant, but with a wood-topped pasta-making table straight out of a 19th-century farmhouse. 

Hillside Vines

The shared swimming pool takes centre stage at this Italian home. Surrounded by vineyards and olive trees, you’ll be treated to views of the Tuscan hills from the poolside. You’ll also have your own private garden area with a table and chairs – the perfect spot to enjoy an alfresco espresso in the morning or a sundowner in the evening. The traditional decor inside won’t be to everyone’s tastes, but we love the beamed ceilings and imposing fireplace here. The home is surrounded by 300 hectares of unspoiled nature, so there are plenty of opportunities for hiking on your doorstep, and if you want a slice of history, the medieval town of San Gimignano is within easy driving distance.

Tuscan Days

We can't think of many things more idyllic than sitting by the pool with a glass of Tuscan wine, overlooking the rolling vineyards. But you're in luck, as that's what awaits you at this stunning slice of paradise. This home is tucked away in the romantic countryside of Italy and is surrounded by eight hectares of land. There's precious little to distract you, rather, days are spent soaking up the sun, walking in the forest or cooling off in the pool. A built-in barbecue is big enough to cater for the entire group, with wooden tables lining the paved patio for afternoon feasts. Interiors are wonderfully traditional as an old farmhouse has been spruced up with glass chandeliers, hanging bare bulb lights, and pretty tiled bathrooms. Many of the original features are still in tact, with huge stone fireplaces, oak beams, and antique furniture adding to the sense of stepping back in time.

Love & Romance

Set in the Italian countryside and surrounded by vineyards, things feel like they haven't changed much in 200 years. Life is simpler here. Cool off in the private pool, before grabbing a space on the wrought-iron furniture near an old cart for glasses of Tuscany's finest or take in the panoramic vistas over the vineyards from the viewing platform.

Hearty meals can be cooked on the double stone barbecue or roasted in the cast iron oven. Gather everyone in to eat together around the long wooden table for a long, convivial dinner.
 
The living space is equally as charming, from the oak-beamed ceilings and polished wooden floors to the array of farming equipment which hangs on the walls. The bedrooms are simply done, with original stone arches and heavy shuttered windows that open out onto the expansive gardens. 

When you’re ready to explore, head to charming Colle di Val d'Elsa, a thirty-minute drive away or San Gimignano, fifteen minutes in the car.



Chardonnay Celebrations

Outdoor Shower

Surrounded by flourishing trees with sweeping views across the hills of Chianti, every detail of this home sings with the natural beauty of Tuscany. 

From the rustic interiors to the antique furnishings and personal touches, the owners have retained the authentic spirit of this traditional country home. And while its foundations date back to 1900, it now exists as a contemporary sanctuary – a private space to lose yourself in the timeless magic of Italian living. 

Stroll through the verdant garden, spend lazy mornings sipping coffee in the shade, take cooling dips in the pool and savour delicious Italian meals – served straight from the barbecue. By night, the soft glow of sunset transforms the terrace into the perfect setting for intimate candlelit meals and stargazing, while the sauna (available on request) provides an idyllic spot to relax before slipping into bed. 

Beyond this rural haven, it’s just a short scenic drive to the medieval borgo of Casole d’Elsa, while San Gimignano and Volterra are also within easy driving distance. 

Moonlight Moments

Conveniently located in San Filippo a Ponzano, a rural village on a hill in Chianti, from here you'll be within easy reach of Florence (a forty-five-minute drive away) and Siena (a thirty-minute drive away). Prepare to be blown away by the never-ending landscapes amidst fields of oak woods, vineyards, and olive groves upon arrival. 

Breathe in the fresh Mediterranean air as you spend your days making the most of the lavender fragranced garden. From the sun loungers by the swimming pool or over at the alfresco patio dining area shaded by the trees – you'll find plenty of places to enjoy a spot of relaxation surrounded by this heavenly setting. 

Inside the villa, the sparkling interiors unveil a charming space that invites guests to immerse themselves in an authentic Italian experience. Think antique furniture jewels, parquet flooring alongside terracotta floor tiles – each room is polished and accessorised to perfection. We particularly love the traditional yet homely feel presented in the bedrooms – many of which open out onto the second-floor balcony via huge French windows. The classic style bedrooms are complemented by the modern en-suite bathrooms, which ensure both comfort and practicality. 

A home that has preserved the very best of its traditional Italian roots, the admirable renovation work contrasts its traditional beauty with contemporary home comforts – required to ensure the space is in keeping with the current modern lifestyle and needs of its guests. 



Into the Olive Grove

Set amid beautiful green countryside just outside the pretty medieval town of Volterra, this striking stone home – which was originally constructed to serve as a watchtower – is brimming with quintessential Tuscan charm and a host of handy amenities, making it the perfect base from which to set out and explore the highlights of the local area.

Spend days unwinding within the tranquil environs of the home and its sprawling gardens filled with mature trees and boasting a lovely fenced swimming pool area. Grab a book and delve into its pages in the shade of one of these trees, or catch some of the Southern Italian sunshine, before dipping into the refreshing waters of the pool as the aromas from the garden's many plants hang heavy in the air. 

Leaving the grounds of the home, you'll find yourself within easy reach of typical towns of the region, including historic Volterra and San Gimignano, as well as Florence and Siena, where you will be able to sample not only the local way of life but also the fabulously flavourful Tuscan cuisine. Beach bunnies may well also rejoice as the gorgeous stretches of soft sand lining the Tyrrhenian Sea are also readily accessible.
With bellies rumbling, you can either put the well-equipped traditional kitchen to the test and try your hand at replicating old favourites and new delicacies discovered on your sojourns of the local area. Or, make your way to one of the numerous nearby trattorias and spend the evening feasting alfresco. 

A Flickering Candle

The small Tuscan village of Gambassi was once a famous spa destination, where the highest of Florentine nobility came for their rest and recuperation. You may not share a last name with 13th-century popes, but we think you’ll find blissful peace here all the same. This home, just outside the main village, is a platonic ideal of a rural idyll, with stone walls and arched doorways welcoming you into a traditional little farmhouse that’s renovated to include all the modern comforts. There is, of course, alfresco dining so you can appreciate the view of the hills over long family dinners, and the private pool is the perfect place to do a few laps or float beneath the high noon sun.

Foosball / Table Football

Pool / Snooker Table

Clustered together to form its own little village, this holiday hamlet gives you access to eight homes so that large groups can be broken up into smaller parties for Tuscan weddings or big family reunions in a picturesque location. 

Each one of these homes has been lovingly restored and features a unique blend of rustic charm and modern touches to make it feel comfortable and homely. Imagine your days here, wandering the streets, admiring the lush green landscape surrounding your magical valley and sitting down in the shade of the gazebo for coffee and cantucci. Let the kids loose in the outdoor play area or join in on the fun by kicking a ball around on the private football field. Lounge in and around the pool, enjoy sunset drinks in the garden and enjoy dinner at the on-site restaurant. 

With plenty around to keep you occupied, you probably won’t have to leave, but Siena and Florence aren’t too far away by car, so why not have a day in the city?

The Magic Valley

In the countryside just outside of the spa town of Gambassi Terme, this delightful villa looks out over the Volterra Hills. It’s peaceful and pretty, surrounded by typical Tuscan vegetation including cypresses, chestnuts, and olive trees. The well-kept garden – full of vibrant flowers and aromatic herbs – boasts a beautiful swimming pool, a lawn, and a gazebo for alfresco dining. The terrace is a splendid spot for sunset. Perfect for a couple of families travelling together, this home is spread between the farmhouse and the converted barn, so everyone can enjoy their own space.

Chestnut & Stone

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

Vine & Blossom

Trash Compactor

Surrounded by 10 hectares of land, featuring olive groves, lush woods and picturesque vineyards, this home is the perfect introduction to the Tuscan countryside. From the terrace, you can take in the view of the region’s rolling hills, with the hilltown of Poggibonsi rising up in the distance. As you wander through the gardens, breathe in the scent of the lavender, sage and rosemary plants. It’s easy to relax here, whether you’re going for a leisurely swim in the pool, taking some time out in the whirlpool tub or relaxing with a sundowner on the outdoor sofas. Typically Tuscan on the outside, with red-shuttered windows and a terracotta roof, this villa adds a dash of opulence to the occasion inside. From the bright living room with its arched French windows framing the view, to sparkling candelabra above the long, dark-wood dining table. Bedrooms and bathrooms have traditional touches – hand painted wardrobes, vibrat vintage tiling, and twinkling chandeliers. Exploring further afield is a breeze, with the famous city of Siena half an hour away, and Florence just a 45-minute drive.

Sage and Rosemary

With stunning views of the surrounding vineyards and olive groves from this apartment’s private terrace, this place has a wonderful setting. There are also panoramic views of San Gimignano to enjoy from the communal grounds which include a shared swimming pool. You can take in the vistas of the Tuscan countryside from inside too. This apartment is the perfect place to relax and enjoy your holiday in Tuscany. Location-wise, the home is just over 5 kilometres from the hilltop town of San Gimignano, with its Piazza della Cisterna, 13th-century walls and medieval houses. 

San Gimignano Views

Amid scenic landscapes on the Tuscan hillside, the façade of this home resembles a countryside castle. Meanwhile, the interiors and amenities are just as impressive. With huge expansive terraces and a private swimming pool, taking in views across the valley can be enjoyed at every opportunity. Inside, antique furniture lends a historic lived-in atmosphere that, despite a traditional aesthetic, offers comfort and practicality. From here, you can easily walk into the village of Lano. Meanwhile, the picturesque walled mountain town of Volterra is just over half an hour away by car. 



The Lago Sky

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

The sprawling grounds of this Tuscan villa are home to woodland walks where you can spot birds, a big private pool for cooling dips and lots of different places to dine and unwind out in nature. Inside, the traditional decor won’t be for everyone – the kitchen feels a little dated, but it’s got everything you need for big group meals, and the ramshackle collection of sofas and armchairs is homely. There’s a ground-floor bedroom and bathroom adapted for accessibility, but the rest of the bedrooms are up a twisting stone staircase. Location-wise, it’s in the Chianti hills, surrounded by vineyards, and Florence is just a few kilometres away.
