This marvellous Tuscan villa is perfect for groups eager to sample the unique delights of the Chianti region. Set back from civilisation in the region's rolling hills, up to eight guests can rest comfortably across four en-suite bedrooms, or wander the expansive grounds dotted with trees and surrounded by olive groves. Inside the villa's stone walls you'll also find an abundance of regional charm, including terracotta floors, exposed beam ceilings, a pizza oven, and elegant living areas. However, arguably the jewel in its crown lies outside, in the form of a dazzling hillside infinity pool. And with the town of Gaiole in Chianti close by and the city of Florence around an hour away, local delights go far beyond wine.
