An hour's drive from Florence, this traditional villa is an excellent base for discovering Tuscany. The garden and surrounding 45-acre grounds are the biggest draw – there's a private pool, scenic terrace, and sweeping panoramas of the surrounding countryside. An evening spent watching the sun go down over a glass of wine is the perfect way to unwind, and you can do just that here. The decor inside is traditionally Tuscan, but two kitchens and multiple lounges offer plenty of space for groups. Just note that one of the bedrooms is on a mezzanine, so the ceilings are low, and the space is quite tight.
