Perfectly tucked into the Tuscan hills yet only a thirty-minute drive from Florence, this home balances peaceful seclusion with easy access to sightseeing. Here you can laze away the day in the garden and cool off in your own private pool. Inside, you’ll find the rooms are just as inviting with large windows that let in the light and a rustic Italian feel. There’s a full kitchen to cook meals and plenty of room to relax. Plus, the location is ideal with Greve in Chianti and San Gimignano (just to name a couple of Tuscan towns) all within easy reach.

The swimming pool is only available for use between 1st April and 15th November. It isn't fenced.
