Tucked away in the Tuscan countryside, this four-bedroom villa is a rural retreat that’s packed with charm and character. From the sunny pool area, set against a backdrop of rolling hills, to the rustic rooms with their terracotta floors and exposed beams, every space feels warm and welcoming. There’s a country kitchen for cooking up home-made meals (best enjoyed on the pretty terrace). And each bedroom has its own en-suite, so there’s plenty of space to get comfy. For a slice of local life, the nearby village has a bar and bakery, and the sights and delights of Tuscany are easily explored with this home as your base.
