Overlooking the rolling Tuscan countryside, this villa is all about embracing the laidback Italian lifestyle. Spend mornings sipping a cappuccino beneath the wisteria before taking a dip in the private pool or working on your suntan on one of the garden loungers. When it’s time for something to eat, there’s a barbecue and a wood-fired pizza oven for cooking up classic dishes. For a taste of local life, you’re around a kilometre from the charming village of Montaione, while the medieval hilltop town of San Gimignano, with its historic UNESCO sites, is a thirty-minute drive away.
