Sitting in a restored 19th-century farmhouse, this apartment in the Tuscan countryside earns its keep through original terracotta floors, wooden beams, and exposed stone that have survived intact alongside modern comforts. A covered terrace lets you linger over meals with rolling olive groves stretching out in front of you, while the kitchen and dining area share the same unhurried view across the hills. The Valdichiana Valley's patchwork of vineyards and cypress avenues is never far from sight, and Castiglion Fiorentino – a medieval hilltop town of towers and loggia – is an eight-minute walk away.

Home truths
At full occupancy, four guests will sleep on sofa beds – two in the first bedroom and two in the second bedroom.
For larger groups, the adjacent apartment within the same farmhouse can also be booked. Together, the two units can accommodate up to eighteen guests.
Castiglion Fiorentino has its own train station with regional connections on the Florence–Rome line, but you'll need a taxi or local transport to reach the apartment from there. A car will give you the most freedom for exploring the surrounding area.
