Vineyards stretch as far as the eye can see at this Chianti villa. Settings rarely get more picturesque than this – we can already picture lazy afternoons by the private pool and alfresco drinks on the covered terrace, all while admiring the views. Inside, you'll find plenty of 17th-century charm, including a brick domed ceiling in the bathroom and an ornamental fireplace that housed the estate's former furnace. You'll have double the space here, too, since the home is two separate apartments. Location-wise, it's halfway between Florence and Siena, so the possibilities for day trips and adventures around Tuscany are endless.

*The swimming pool is only available to use from the last Saturday in April until the first Saturday in October.
*The traditional decor here may not be to everyone's taste. It feels a little dated in parts.
