Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
You’ll find this home tucked away in the Tuscan countryside – peaceful, picturesque, and perfectly placed for exploring the region. It’s a great option for bigger groups, with rooms set across the main villa and a separate guest house so there’s more space to relax. It’s tricky to pick our favourite feature here. Maybe the loggia, where you can sit in the shade and admire the sun-kissed scenery. Or perhaps it’s the pool, hidden among lush greenery and lined with loungers for lazy afternoons. We love the location too, with historic villages and world-class wineries to discover, plus San Miniato, Pisa, and Lucca less than an hour’s drive away.
