A former mill, this Tuscan villa has charm and character in spades. Inside, you'll find a plethora of traditional touches, from the timber ceilings to the millstone-turned-soaker bath. There's a pool table for fun-filled game nights, while a separate hayloft houses two cosy bedrooms. Summer days will have you padding out to the garden, where a seasonal swimming pool and sun-kissed terrace beckon. The famed Via Francigena pilgrimage route winds right past the home, offering plenty of opportunities for scenic walks. For a day trip, head to Lucca - it's just a short drive away.
