Nestled in the countryside, this home immerses you in a distinctly Tuscan way of life. Enjoy alfresco meals on the terrace overlooking the pool (including a feast of local specialties prepared by your host) and unwind among characteristic Tuscan greenery in the garden. Living quarters are split between the main house and an annexe, giving large groups plenty of space – but the upstairs sitting room in the main house is the place to socialise together, so put a record on, open the windows, and soak up the rural atmosphere. Pisa is within easy reach by car, but you might prefer to head to the coast at Livorno to sample the local seafood and wander the quaint canals.

About San Miniato

Halfway between Pisa and Florence, San Miniato is one of the most beautiful towns in Tuscany, and that’s saying something.
