Tucked away in the hills of Chianti, among the vineyards and olive groves, this typically Tuscan villa is a real charmer. There’s a sunny swimming pool for leisurely laps or poolside lounging, a vine-covered terrace for dining al fresco, and plenty of peace and tranquillity to savour. Inside, the rooms are characterful and cosy, offering all the comforts you need for a contented stay, including your own private gym. The bedrooms are spread across the main house and a separate annexe, meaning there’s more space to stretch out. And with pretty villages and wineries within easy reach, you’ll soon get into the swing of local life.
