Stunning countryside views. A lush garden. A swimming pool. Even a private bowls court. This Tuscan mansion sets the scene for la dolce vita. Inside, traditional charm meets a touch of eccentricity – think vaulted ceilings, eclectic furnishings, and unexpected pops of colour. And when it comes to space? There’s more than enough to go around – two kitchens and generous communal areas make it ideal for large groups of friends or family get-togethers. Cortona, Siena and Florence are all within driving distance – though with a base like this, you might be tempted to stay put.

Home truths

    Although there's sleeping space for seventeen guests here, the guest count cannot exceed fifteen people.

    Due to this home's rural location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. There's onsite parking for up to seven vehicles.

    The swimming pool is only available for use between May and September. It isn't fenced, so if you're bringing little ones, they'll need to be supervised at all times.

    There is plenty on offer in the way of outdoor activities. While not everything is shown in the photos, you will find a barbecue, several outdoor dining tables, and even a bowls court.

    You won't be fighting over bathrooms at this villa – there are seven to choose from. One isn’t pictured, but you can expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
