This traditional villa ticks all our boxes for a chilled-out holiday in Tuscany. The garden is the standout feature, with views of the rolling countryside from the private pool and a pergola for alfresco dining. When the temperature drops, head inside to find two sitting rooms, offering plenty of space for the whole group to feel at ease. To make your stay even more special your host provides complimentary wine tasting and guided tours of the estate’s vineyard. If you’d like to explore the surrounding area, Lucca is a short drive away, and you’re around 28 kilometres from the Versilia coast.
