You’ve got the best of Tuscany within easy reach from this elegant hilltop home. The medieval town of Monsummano Terme, with its thermal springs, is less than three kilometres away. Meanwhile, Florence is a straightforward 40-minute drive for cultural day trips. An 18th-Century farmhouse lovingly renovated over the last fifty years by the same family, it’s steeped in history. But look beyond the heirloom antiques, and you’ll find a practical home, too. A ground-floor bedroom with veranda access will suit guests looking for a little extra privacy, and there are two dining and sitting areas to gather. Outside, sweeping views, a private pool and Jacuzzi, and lengthy terraces complete the scene.
