Drive around thirty minutes from Florence and towards the Tuscan Hills, where you’ll find this beautiful, restored villa. Surrounded by lush vegetation and breathtaking panoramic views, this home welcomes you with bold colours and plenty of heart. Wander around under reclaimed wood rafters and feel cool terracotta under your bare feet as you make for the kitchen. Once there, you can enjoy a cup of coffee on the balcony before getting breakfast ready. Enjoy meals in the shade on the terrace before going back to lounging poolside with a book and a good glass of wine. Bask in the tranquillity and sunshine as you sit out admiring the landscape views, and go on a scenic drive to make the most of your time in the countryside. Spend days in Florence visiting galleries, signing up for pasta-making classes and sightseeing before returning home for drinks at sunset.
