Florence offers a heady mix of fascinating history and ornate architecture. With museums and art galleries to whet your cultural appetite, plus Michelin-starred restaurants and fantastic wine bars to satisfy your other appetite, you’ll be kept on your toes 24/7. However, why stay in the bustling city when you can drive there in just fifty minutes, from a traditional Tuscan farmhouse? If rolling hills, olive trees, and verdant meadows sound like the scenery you’d like to call home, this apartment offers all of this and more. We love the vast grounds, where you can rest under shady patios for alfresco dining, picnic on the lawns, or cool down in the glistening pool. And with a hydromassage jet tub within the latter, you might fancy a negroni here at sunset after a long day of adventure. When the evening gets a little chilly, the interiors of your country home will warm your body and soul. Rich, earthy tones of terracotta and wood make the open-plan living space feel incredibly welcoming. Chunky timber beams line the sloped ceiling, wooden shutters keep the draught out, and a stone fireplace keeps you cosy as you sip Tuscan red on the sofa.

About San Miniato
Halfway between Pisa and Florence, San Miniato is one of the most beautiful towns in Tuscany, and that’s saying something.
