If you're looking for a rural escape, this is it: as far as the eye can see, this Tuscan stone cottage is surrounded by verdant countryside. Yet, you're just a short drive from Castellina in Chianti, a quintessential Tuscan village. Small groups will find privacy across the two independent, yet connected, living spaces – yet the garden is never far away, and there are lots of charming spots for sociable drinks or dinners (we recommend trying homemade pizzas in the brick pizza oven). The large terrace spaces partly make up for the lack of a fully private pool – though it's still a lovely spot to soak up the sun and rural atmosphere. No trip to Chianti would be complete without trying the wine, and you've got no shortage of estates nearby.
