Sitting pretty on sixty-five hectares of rolling countryside, this 16th-century villa has been renovated into a luxury retreat with designer touches. Even though an indoor pool, gym, wine cellar and billiard room ups the ante inside, the outdoors is where this home truly shines. Admire the views from the sprawling garden. You'll also find a private pool with ample poolside seating and a shaded veranda for alfresco dining. Location-wise, it's within driving distance of thermal spas, Siena, Florence and several other art cities. And for more active guests, Lucciola Bella Nature Reserve has various hiking trails.
