Set among vineyards and olive groves, this Chianti villa gives you that postcard-perfect Tuscany backdrop from the moment you arrive. The outdoor spaces centre around a courtyard and three terraces, with a barbecue and wood-burning oven for alfresco dinners. The heated infinity pool has an electronic safety cover, ideal if you're bringing the kids. Inside, wood beams, stone walls, and tiled floors nod to the home’s 400-year history. The dining area’s picture window frames the hills, and there’s a games room plus a small gym. There's also a separate annexe with two bedrooms and a sofa bed for two children. You’ll need a car, but Gaiole in Chianti is just ten minutes away for restaurants, wine bars, and shops.
