Nestled in the Tuscan hills, this peaceful villa is just the spot to enjoy a tranquil escape. The pool might be the best place to enjoy the garden views, but we recommend wandering through the grounds to truly take in the peaceful surroundings. There are multiple cosy living spaces where you can gather with friends or family in the evening, and dinners won't ever feel the same once you've experienced dining under the grand chandelier. Elegant features like the Versailles wood flooring and decorative ceilings add a touch of grandeur to this home – but to further immerse yourself in history, a day in nearby Florence is a must.

  • No time for average – We reject thousands of homes worldwide, so you don't have to.
