Enjoy the best of Southern Tuscany's mountain villages and historic cities when you stay at this stunning villa. It's just over a five-minute drive from medieval Castiglioncello del Trinoro, overlooking the beautiful Val d'Orcia. Alternatively, both Chiusi and Pienza are about a twenty-minute drive and are known for their traditional cheese production and churches. Bicycles can be hired, and wine tastings can be booked too via your lovely host. After exploring, return to this elegant yet rustic home to recuperate on its poolside sun loungers or in the hot tub. Sit on the veranda overlooking the incredible Tuscan countryside with a glass of local Chianti wine, or go for a wander through the villa's acres of lawns and orchard. Then have a volleyball, football, croquet, boules or table tennis game with the gang. Later enjoy a meal cooked on the barbecue, or head inside to the dining room – we love this space – it’s fit for a medieval banquet with its exposed timber beams, original flagstone floor and open fireplace. If you don't fancy cooking, let your host organise a chef to prepare a meal for you (they can arrange cooking classes too). This home is just the ticket... for large families or groups of friends.

About Tuscany
Perhaps the first region to come to mind when you think of holidays in Italy, there’s no denying Tuscany’s beauty.
