Built in the 12th century, this beautiful Chianti home has history seeping from its pores. Think original beams, exposed stone walls and a selection of carefully placed artefacts. We love the rustic scalloped ceiling in the lounge and the terracotta floor that runs throughout the house, so a stay here means basking in the traditional farmhouse style. No doubt you’ll spend most of your time outside, lazing on loungers by the pond with a book, or soaking up the sweeping views of the Italian countryside. The market town of Gaiole is a ten-minute drive away with all the shops you could need for supplies (including some of that famous Chianti red). If you fancy a taste of city life, further afield is spectacular Siena with its gothic architecture and artisanal boutiques – but you may well find that once you drive down the unmade road to your Italian escape, you never want to leave.

About Tuscany
Perhaps the first region to come to mind when you think of holidays in Italy, there’s no denying Tuscany’s beauty. The term “Rolling hills” could have been coined here, where grapes ripen on vines in the folds of the valleys and ancient towns crown hilltops.
