This Tuscan villa caught our eye for its incredible views of the surrounding countryside, best enjoyed from the poolside or sheltered balcony. Keen chefs will love the barbecue and pizza oven, which make alfresco cooking a breeze, and the chlorine-free pool will be a hit with adults and children alike. While it’s not the most luxurious home in our collection and feels a little dated in places, the stand-out views, peaceful setting, and tranquil outdoor seating areas mean it still has lots to offer. Located near the village of Cerreto Guidi, you’re perfectly placed for hiking the Tuscan hills or visiting one of the many vineyards that the region is known for.

Home truths:
