Enjoy the beauty of Tuscany in this traditional villa. With day trips to Florence, Pisa, Vinci, and Lucca within easy reach, the location is ideal for exploring. It's also as scenic as can be, perched among rolling vineyards and olive groves. The private pool is the best spot to enjoy the views, though the covered terrace is also a delightful alternative. Head indoors, and you'll find traditional features in spades – think original decorative hearths, terracotta floors, and beamed ceilings. Each bedroom is well-sized and has its own bathroom, with the sixth offering a suite-like setup. We think it's a great fit for friends and families seeking an adventure in Tuscany.
