Calling all wine connoisseurs – this villa puts Chianti's vineyards at your fingertips. Whether you're touring local wineries or day-tripping to the towns of Radda and Siena, this is a picture-perfect base for a Tuscan getaway. Back home, spend your afternoons lazing by the pool, nibbling on pizza cooked in the built-in barbecue, and playing rounds of outdoor ping-pong. Inside or out, there's no shortage of space to relax. The interiors are a tad dated, but we think that's all part of the charm.
