This apartment, overlooking the beautiful vineyards of Tuscany, is situated in a historic palace that dates back to the 14th century. The place is packed with character, from the arched brick ceilings and terracotta tiles, to the chandeliers and antique furnishings. Outside, the neat terrace is the perfect place to come together for lunch. Pick your spot at the table as tasty dishes are passed around and glasses are topped up with Chianti. Slip into the hot tub on cool evenings, with your favourite beverage in hand as a purple dusk falls across the landscape. And when it’s time to wind down, bedrooms strike a balance between elegance and comfort, so you’re guaranteed a restful night’s sleep. You’ll find this home in the small village of Marcialla, where family-run restaurants offering the very best of Tuscan cuisine are minutes from your doorstep. If you’d like to explore further afield, take to forty-minute drive into Florence for its world-famous sights – the iconic Galleria dell'Accademia, Duomo and Uffizi gallery await.
