Set back from the Ligurian sea near the village of Riparbella, this charming country home is perfect for smaller groups seeking a peaceful Tuscan retreat. There's lots of space across two cosy bedrooms, and a party this size can really stretch out and appreciate both the home and the surrounding area. Indoors, wooden beams and terracotta floors add some regional flair. With a bean-shaped private pool, outdoors is arguably where the home comes into its own, with a gazebo for alfresco dining and card games offering splendid hillside views. And if you're in need of supplies, the coastal town of Cecina is a twenty minute drive away.

About Livorno

Home to white-sand beaches and impossibly clear waters, it’s not difficult to see why so many travellers head straight to the islands of Livorno. Elba, the largest of the seven, is a scenic collection of seaside towns, mountain villages, and pretty coves – whether you’re into hiking, cycling, or just fancy a week on the beach, this island won’t disappoint.
