Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
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 and a shaded terrace for dining. 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.

Halfway between Pisa and Florence, San Miniato is one of the most beautiful towns in Tuscany, and that’s saying something. It’s perched atop three hills overlooking the Arno valley, and the panoramas of the Tuscan hills live up to all expectations. The town centre is full of well-preserved medieval buildings, and has a particular concentration of churches – we’re particular fans of the Chiesa del Santissimo Crocifisso. Every November, San...
