Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This beautiful Tuscan home caught our attention due to its inspiring views and ample outside living space. Consisting of a farmhouse and a cottage, you'll have access to the well-kept gardens and lovely terraces to help you soak up the rural setting. We think it's a perfect fit for families, due to the abundance of space and fully-fenced swimming pool (complete with a diving board) – plus you've got a table tennis area, sun loungers, a pergola with deck chairs and a covered patio for alfresco suppers. Though you will need a car to explore the region, you'll find the beautiful town of Levane nearby for local amenities.
The Plum Promise
- No time for average – We reject thousands of homes worldwide, so you don't have to.

- Rated ‘Excellent’ on Trustpilot – Exceptional service before, during and after your stay.
