Nestled between Lucca and Florence, this resorted villa will immediately make you feel at home.

The bedrooms offer a peaceful spot away from the group, and each has its own en-suite for ultimate convenience. However, there's no denying that the real pièce de résistance is the outdoor space.

Topping it off is the six-seater hot tub overlooking the vineyard – pure bliss.
