One glance at this 13th-century villa, and you'll feel like you've travelled back in time. Surrounded by acres of manicured gardens with fragrant flowers and fruit trees, this home effortlessly blends rustic charm with elegant decadence. Glimmering chandeliers hang from the wooden ceilings, art adorns the Tuscan stone walls and plush rugs line the traditional terracotta floor. You'll feel like royalty wandering the grounds and sleeping in the grand bedrooms, all with en-suites. Preparing an Italian feast is easy in the kitchen, which has been fully modernised while retaining its old-world charm. Better yet, hire a private chef to do all the cooking for you. Outside, take your pick from two lounge areas – one poolside, the other off the kitchen. Spend afternoons splashing in the pool and relaxing in the jacuzzi, before unwinding with an alfresco meal and glass of local wine under the stars. When you're ready for a bit of sightseeing, historic Lucca is just a ten-minute drive, while other sites like Pisa, Florence and the famous wine country are less than an hour away.
