Artistry just runs through this home’s veins – it simply couldn’t be more tasteful if it tried. Writers, photographers and painters will revel in its visual appeal, while you’d be forgiven for thinking you’d stepped into a scene from a Renaissance painting. There is a timelessness to a home of this innate elegance that just doesn’t age. Moments from the Medieval village of San Casciano dei Bagni, in this nature-rich part of Southern Tuscany, hikers, walkers and nature lovers will be in their element. Head to the wineries of Montepulciano, or history buffs will explore the Etruscan and Roman heritage sites. Back at home, you’ll love the imperial yet homey feel of those pale terracotta toned rooms, the romance of the four-poster beds with billowing drapes, and such an array of private nooks for a drink overlooking the hills, or for more vibrant moments, games on the lawns or frolicking in the pool. We find it hard to say what we love most about L’Artista; those views never get old, and the potential for outdoor living is not only endless but so effortlessly stylish too.
