Surrounded by the lush green hills and dense forests of the Tuscan countryside, this traditional country house meets contemporary design to create a serene escape in the heart of Tuscany. The interiors are an eclectic mix of antiques and 1960s furniture, creating an air of vintage charm. Boasting a picturesque garden with views across fields, woodland and vegetable gardens, you couldn't ask for a better spot to enjoy your morning coffee than the outdoor sofa. You'll have your own pool here, too, which is perfect for a relaxing swim or an invigorating workout to start the day. If you fancy a quiet day at home, grab your favourite book and lie back on one of the plush sun loungers, but if you're keen to get out an explore then a trip to Lucca is a must. Encircled by well-preserved Renaissance walls, the historic town centre houses narrow cobblestone streets and huge tree-lined ramparts that are perfect for walking and cycling. A haven for foodies, hit the shops to pick up some delicious Tuscan wines, artisan chocolates and freshly baked Buccellato to accompany dinner. Speaking of dinner, you can enjoy a rustic home-cooked feast, grilled to perfection on the barbecue. Gather around the dining table beneath the pergola to tuck in alfresco as the sun sets over the countryside.
