Tucked into three hectares of peaceful Tuscan countryside, this home welcomes you to blissful Italian getaway. There's a saltwater pool for long afternoons and the sheltered terrace features a barbecue for lingering evening meals. The garden is full of olive and centuries-old trees, with shaded corners and a cobbled path drawing you outside at every hour. When you do venture further afield, Pistoia is just minutes away, and both Lucca and Florence are within easy reach for a day of Renaissance-era wandering.
