Tucked within seventy hectares of countryside and surrounded by countless rows of olive groves and cypress trees, this charming Tuscan estate is the picture of rural tranquillity. Split into the main house and an independent annexe, the address has retained plenty of its original features – wooden beams, an open-hearth fireplace, stone floors and antique furniture give guests a sense of history. Start your day by pushing open the French doors in the living room and looking out over the neighbouring hills before sharing breakfast in the charming kitchen. Stepping outside, the home’s beautiful garden is an ideal sunbathing spot, while the sparkling swimming pool is perfect for cooling off from the midday heat. Find a cosy corner amid the plants to enjoy a cocktail at sundown, then head to the pergola, where an elegant dining table promises an unforgettable alfresco experience. If you can bear to leave your manor, the pretty town of Montepulciano is a short ten-minute drive away. Walk its winding streets and try the rare Vino Noble wine the region is so famous for.
