Set on a 20-hectare estate, this historic villa in the medieval village of Cerreto Guidi is just the ticket for a Tuscan retreat. The interiors are traditional and full of charm, with two living areas for a large group to unwind. Step outside to find a pool, a pergola-covered dining area, and a lounge framed by vineyards, olive groves, fruit trees and woodland – where better to enjoy a glass of Chianti? The rural setting promises peace and privacy, but you're still close to the town of Vinci, a local golf course, and several vineyards – perfect for those looking to slow down and soak up the Tuscan lifestyle.
