With its hilltop setting in Tuscany, this home offers a picturesque escape. Olive trees and vineyards surround the home, composed of two villas restored to incorporate original features and charming decor. It’s the outside space that really stands out here, with stunning views of the sweeping Tuscan countryside, a beautiful alfresco dining space, and two salt-water swimming pools. The villas are perfect for large groups, though at full occupancy, two guests will sleep on a sofa bed and one will sleep on a single bed in a walk-through room.

Home truths
Hiring a car is highly recommended. There’s free covered parking here.
This home comprises two villas so you won’t all be sleeping under the same roof. One of the villas comprises two separate apartments connected by an internal door.
There are stairs to climb at this home so it may not be suitable for those with reduced mobility.
The salt-water swimming pools are open approximately from May to September.
There’s only air conditioning in the bedrooms of the smaller villa.
At full occupancy, two guests will sleep on a double sofa bed, and one guest will sleep on a single bed in a walk-through room between two floors of one villa.
While not every bedroom or bathroom has been photographed, we expect the style and standard to be consistent with the rest of the home.
Your host can provide a cot and high chair on request.

About Florence West
Machiavelli, da Vinci, Botticelli, Michaelangelo, Galileo - it’s hard to concisely capture Florence’s monumental impact on the arts, science and philosophy, but a swift run-through of some of the main names active in the Republic during the Renaissance era gives you an idea of just how influential it really was. Today’s tourists will be only too happy to learn that much of the Tuscan city’s historic centre remains unchanged since...
