This carefully resorted 11th-century Tuscan farmhouse can be found in the heart of Chianti – between Florence and Siena. With impressive views of the Tuscan countryside, this villa can accommodate six guests. The traditional decor here might not be to everyone liking, but you’ll likely be spending most of your time enjoying the garden. Outside you’ll find a shaded dining area, barbecue, fenced swimming pool, and completed with impressive views overlooking the Tuscan countryside. The local village Fiano is just a short walk away – so you needn’t travel far for groceries. If you’re looking to explore further afield, you can reach Florence by car in less than an hour.
