Travel down the cypress-lined driveway of this home, surrounded by a centuries-old olive grove, and just take in the unfolding backdrop of the picturesque hills. We love the setting –it’s typically Tuscan. You can admire the stunning views from the terrace or the infinity-style private pool and revel in the tranquillity. Inside, you can enjoy more vistas from the split-level living and dining room, as well as from the bedrooms. Location-wise, you’ll find plenty of countryside walks on your doorstep, and the Etruscan Coast is also reachable by car.
