Part of a 16th-century villa, this home is in the tiny hamlet of Montelopio. There’s not much here except a restaurant and bar, so you can enjoy a truly tranquil stay (plus a little local food and wine). Back at the house, it’s all about taking it easy. Swim in the sunny pool, nestled among the olive groves, before lunch on the terrace. Inside, the rooms are spread across the right wing of the house and the tower, where there’s a bedroom with its own living area. Time to explore? Historic towns like Volterra and San Gimignano aren’t too far away, and you can reach Pisa in less than an hour.
