If you’re looking for an escape from it all, this could be the home for you. Set on a private road deep in the woods, this Chianti villa has tranquillity running through its core. We love the seamless blend of modern furniture with the traditional building here, but the outdoor space is our biggest winner. Sun-kissed terraces, a hot tub, a private pool, alfresco dining areas – what’s not to love? If you can tear yourself away, it’s a mere ten-minute drive to the wine-making town of Gaiole, which is well worth a visit.

Home truths:
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a free cot and high chair upon request.
*The swimming pool isn't fenced and there are open-sided stairs here. If you're bringing children, they'll need to be supervised at all times.
*The second bedroom is on the mezzanine level and semi-open to the space below, so privacy is limited.
*Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay.
