Behind the fondant pink exterior of this Tuscan villa lies a rustic yet elegant home that offers endless comfort for a large family or group of friends. Expect soothing neutral tones, terracotta tile floors that keep things cool underfoot, and an abundance of sumptuous furnishings. Mornings begin with breakfast rustled up in the fully-equipped kitchen – choose to eat in the formal dining space or out on the covered terrace. After the plates are cleared, pick out a lounger for a spot of sunbathing then cool off with a gentle swim in your private pool. Afternoons are to be spent grilling local produce on the barbecue and sipping ice-cold refreshments in the shade. If you’d like to explore a little, jump in the car and take the thirty-minute drive to Pisa for the famous Leaning Tower and the magnificent Duomo. Stop for a bite to eat in a traditional trattoria before heading back to your abode with a bottle of fine Italian wine.

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