Perched in the Florentine hills of Chianti, this lavish villa is a great base for a laid-back Tuscan getaway. Inside, there's a cosy double living room with a fireplace, and a big kitchen and dining room that’s made for family feasts. Outside, the patio overlooks an infinity pool and classic cypress-lined views – a solid spot for an evening aperitivo. When you’re ready to head out, you’re a short drive from the picturesque towns of Certaldo and Montespertoli, and within easy reach of Florence and San Gimignano.
