With panoramic countryside views, a private infinity pool, and a stone loggia for alfresco dining whatever the weather, this Tuscan home has plenty to shout about. Lazy days can be spent relaxing in the hammock among the olive trees, soaking in the Jacuzzi bathtub, or firing up the pizza oven. Fancy a night off cooking? No problem, your host can arrange a private chef to cook for you at home. Comprising a villa and a separate annexe, this place is a great choice for a group getaway. And if daytrips are on the cards, the hilltop towns of Volterra and San Gimignano are less than 15 kilometres away, and Florence can be reached in under an hour.
