Tucked into the Tuscan countryside near Cortona, this villa is built for long, unhurried days. The pool is ringed by sun loungers, making it the natural heart of outdoor life. Inside, five bedrooms each have their own en-suite, so there's no jostling for space when there's a full house. The living and dining area gathers everyone around the fireplace when the evenings cool, and the rolling landscape beyond the windows does the rest. When you can pull yourself away, Cortona is less than a fifteen-minute drive, while further afield is Perugia – about an hour by car and ideal for day trips.
