Surrounded by silvery olive trees and architectural Italian cypresses, this traditional Tuscan farmhouse's bucolic setting would make even the Mona Lisa grin from ear to ear. Out and about, the birthplace of Leonardo Da Vinci is just down the road. If you prefer countryside pursuits, there's plenty of walks right on your doorstep. But you don't even have to leave the grounds for picturesque strolls – the large, sunny garden offers plenty to explore. Immerse yourself in your holiday read by the pool, or sit on one of the comfy outdoor sofas under an umbrella, listening to birdsong. With its charming wicker lampshades, wooden beams and window shutters, along with terracotta and terrazzo flooring, this home is full of character and warmth. On chillier nights, gather around the fireplace, flanked by vintage wine barrels, with a glass of Sangiovese wine in hand, and let the conversation flow. Whatever the season, like a fine work of art this joyful place will always delight.
