Nestled among lush gardens dotted with ancient olive trees, this villa has a wonderfully off-grid feel. All the rooms are on the ground-floor – the top floor's unoccupied – and while there's no air conditioning, we think there's something rather romantic about throwing open the windows and letting the country air drift in. Wander down the lawn to the pool for relaxed days stretched out in the sun, with breakfast on the balcony and long, lazy lunches on the patio. When you need to stock up on supplies, Montaione is just 9.5 kilometres down the road, while the medieval streets and towers of San Gimignano are 22 kilometres away.
