Everyone’s invited for a stay at this Italian estate, set in the Val D'Orcia. As characterful as it is practical, the generously proportioned bedrooms all have private en-suite bathrooms, and there’s also a dedicated study for anyone planning to work remotely. But it’s outside beside the private pool and sun-drenched terraces, where we think you’ll be spending most of your time. Surrounded by cypress trees and olive groves for as far as the eye can see, it all feels blissfully secluded. But when you’re ready for a change of pace, the Medieval hilltop town of Montepulciano is just a three-kilometre drive away.
