Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This rustic villa is perfectly tucked away on a biodynamic wine estate in Tuscany. As you'd expect from an Italian home, there are plenty of dining areas here – choose from the charming courtyard with its lemon house, the wisteria-draped gazebo, or the dining rooms with their statement historic features. Elsewhere, some of the interiors feel a little dated, but you'll undoubtedly be spending most of your time outside, soaking up the views from the pool, while little ones enjoy the playground. Just down the road is the village of Ghizzano, known for its colourful houses and modern art installations, but if you fancy sunning yourself by the sea, it's an hour's drive to Livorno.
