This traditional stone home offers a typical Tuscan getaway. It's all about the views here, and there's no better spot to admire the rolling hills than on the terrace. Come summertime, the private pool will be a big hit. Winter, meanwhile, calls for cosy evenings by the fire. The decor is a bit dated, but that's to be expected in this location. Plus, with Vicchio and Florence both within driving distance, you'll be well-placed to explore all Tuscany has to offer.

Home truths

    If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a free cot and high chair upon request.

    The swimming pool is available to use between 1st May and 30th September.

    This home is spread over three levels, with only stairs for access.

    There may not be wi-fi here, so this is a great option if you're looking to truly unplug.

    We recommend hiring a car at this location. Parking is available on the premises, as is an EV charger. Just note that access to the house is via an unmade road.

    There's another holiday home next door, with only a laurel hedge separating the two properties. The entrance, pool, and garden are still private.

However, it’s fair to say that this isn’t a fair representation of the area. Throughout most of the green valley, it’s not the cacophony of snarling engines that you’ll be hearing, but rather the tranquillity of nature. Sitting just underneath...
