Part of a complex of six similar villas, this place sits in the Tuscan countryside, within day-tripping distance of Florence. If you’re not exploring the medieval hilltop towns and rolling vineyards, there is plenty your host can organise on-site – wine tasting, breakfast, dinner and lunch in the restaurant or trips into the countryside. Guests here have access to a shared infinity pool and a games room. Within the villa, you’ll find a full kitchen and two dining areas. Some might call the living room dated, but it blends in with the wood-beamed ceilings and old fireplaces.

Home truths:
*This is one of six similar villas on the same complex and some facilities are shared, such as the infinity pool, games room and wine tasting room.
*The shared swimming pool is only available between 1st May and 30th September.
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot for free. You'll need to request it in advance.
*In a remote location, having a car is recommended and there is private parking for up to two cars.
*The traditional decor here might not be to everyone's taste. It feels a little dated in parts.
