Tucked into the Tuscan countryside near the hilltop town of Lucignano, this villa wraps you in the kind of quiet that's hard to come by. The fenced garden centres on a raised pool, with sun loungers on the lawn and a dining table shaded by oak trees for long alfresco evenings. When the sun drops, the covered spa terrace – hydromassage tub, sauna, and all – earns its keep. Two fireside sitting rooms make cooler months equally appealing. Siena is reachable in around forty minutes, with Montepulciano, Cortona, and Pienza all within easy reach of the front door.

About Tuscany
Perhaps the first region to come to mind when you think of holidays in Italy, there’s no denying Tuscany’s beauty.
