This dreamy Tuscan home is special. It boasts original details dating back to the 17th century, with a traditional farmhouse aesthetic blended with modern features – and views to die for. The terrace runs along the front of the house, offering various charming spots for sunbathing, dining alfresco, and splashing about in the petite private pool. We adore the authentic Tuscan feel here, with its stone walls, lush greenery, and beams inside. There’s a rustic elegance that makes this villa memorable for all the right reasons.
