Sample an authentic slice of Tuscan living at this traditional manor set in the Val di Merse countryside. The vast gardens and views from the private pool and alfresco dining terrace steal the show here. And if you can look past some of the fussier interiors, you’ll also find a practical home that’s prime for a multi-generational family stay.

It’s worth noting that a car is essential for exploring and stocking up on provisions. But with the hilltop town of Chiusdino just a short scenic drive away, we don’t think you’ll mind.
