Indulge in a slice of the good life at this rustic, hilltop farmhouse. The vineyards and olive trees of Chianti's gorgeous countryside fall away as far as the eye can see. Enchantingly appointed, this villa sits opposite the 11th century Castello di Bibbione and the surrounding hamlet. Sample the estate's own wine and olive oil by the fire in the living room, where wood beam ceilings and antique furniture create a cosy level of charm. Although we love the traditional interiors, the real draw of this home is the outdoors. Drop yourself into the L-shaped pool or soak up the sun on a lounger. The water provides somewhere to cool off during the day, and you can work off last night's gnocchi and risotto in the on-site gym later on. If you're looking to explore further afield, we'd recommend a day trip to Florence, only 15-km away from this achingly beautiful home.

About Arcetri
Arcetri is a quiet area that sits behind the riverside neighbourhoods of Santo Spirito and San Niccolò. Much less dense than the areas directly next to the river, it's a different feel to, but still not far from, the historical centre. The Torre del Gallo, which sits on top of a ridge overlooking Florence, is a highlight – you get some beautiful panoramic views over the red rooftops of the...
