Set on an 8-hectare estate surrounded by cypress trees and vineyards, this 18th-century villa is a dream spot for a Tuscan retreat. While the villa has been renovated, it still offers plenty of traditional charm, with inviting spaces made for gathering – think a cosy living room with a fireplace, board games and books. Outside, there’s a large pool, a shaded lounge and a dining area – your host can also arrange fridge fills to make dining in that little bit easier. And with medieval villages such as Radda and Castellina within easy driving distance, you’re all set to explore the Chianti hills.
