With your own turret (actually a former grain silo) and hilltop location in Tuscany, it doesn’t get more fairytale-pretty than this. Within the sprawling grounds of lawns and cypress trees, you’ll find an infinity pool looking out towards the misty hills, and shaded outdoor lounges beneath pergolas. The silo has been converted into a spa with a Turkish hammam, gym and massage room and you’ll find one of the bedrooms in here. In the main villa, it’s a vision of Tuscan farmhouse charm with several lounges to choose from. We love the ancient hearth turned into a secluded reading nook.
