For panoramic views of olive groves, vineyards and Tuscany's trademark landscapes, this restored country house tucked away in the Chianti region will do the trick. Surrounded by a hectare of beauty, easily admired from various seating areas and a private pool with a jacuzzi, this property offers a peaceful retreat for the whole family. And given the extra guest house bedroom – with its own kitchenette and living area – you can request, it has space for everyone too. There are many traditional features like terracotta tiles and beamed ceilings, but our favourite is the pizza oven outside. Florence and its renaissance art lie fifteen minutes away.
