This cottage in Buonconvento, one of Italy’s most beautiful towns, is surrounded by meadows and fields, making it a truly scenic retreat. Outside, there’s a pool, barbecue, and plenty of space to soak up the views. Inside, it’s a mix of old and new, with beamed ceilings and antique furniture paired with modern touches. The access road is a little bumpy, but that only adds to the rustic charm. You’re a short walk from a range of local restaurants. Plus, if you hire a car, it’s easy to explore the thermal baths at Rapolano, the Abbey of Monte Oliveto Maggiore and local towns from Siena to Pienza.

About Siena Province
Step back into medieval Italy with a trip to Siena. The city is famous for its contrade, the maze-like historic districts that haven’t changed a beat in over a hundred years. Join the crowds in July and August when Siena’s famous Palio horserace thunders around the Piazza del Campo, or visit outside of the peak summer months for a calmer experience. Siena, rich in tradition, is also a great spot...
