Nestled in the countryside outside of Florence, this villa offers a beautiful Italian escape. You’ll be within easy reach of the city for art- and history-filled daytrips, and you can even spot the Duomo from the elegant dovecote suite. The villa has lush grounds with an outdoor swimming pool and alfresco dining areas surrounded by flowers and greenery. Inside, you can look forward to relaxing in the spa – with a sauna and a Jacuzzi – and selecting local tipples from the wine cellar. There’s also a fitness room and a fully-equipped kitchen with marble floors. If you don’t fancy cooking, ask your host to arrange a private chef – what could be better?
