Perched at the foot of the Pratomagno hills fringing the town of Terranuova Bracciolini with its pizzerias and osterias, the setting for this Tuscan retreat is idyllic. Recently renovated, although everywhere feels light-filled, it may feel a little lacking in character for some. It’s also worth noting that the swimming pool is shared with the guests from a small neighbouring B&B – though you’ll have private poolside loungers and your own shady terraces for evening mealtimes. When it’s time to explore, take your pick between Florence and Arezzo for day trips – you’re set equidistance from them both.
