Comfortable, elegant and rustic are three words that spring to mind on arrival at this lovely villa. In the heart of the Tuscan countryside but with the Pontedera's bustling centre just a ten-minute drive away, it provides the best of both worlds. Inside you’ll find a traditional interior with an unfussy feel featuring beamed ceilings, warm wood and colourful rugs. There’s also a separate annexe away from the main home with its own bedroom, bathroom and kitchen for those who prefer to have a little more privacy. It’s outside where the magic really happens though – step out into the lush gardens where you’ll find a gorgeous pool with sun loungers primed beneath a shady pergola and play equipment for the little ones. With Pisa also just thirty minutes away by car, there’s plenty to keep everyone entertained in and away from home. After a relaxing day by the pool, sit down to an alfresco barbecue meal with a cicada song soundtrack and a luminous backdrop of stars.
