This is the dream home for a relaxing Tuscan escape. Drenched in authentic Italian tradition and touched with hints of modern design, it oozes luxury in every room. The stone exterior stands proud at the top of the hillside, which leads to the villa's standout feature – the incredible views.

The home is blessed with copious seating spots to sit and admire the view. The sun loungers, white seats under the canopy and dining table under the shelter are dreamy spots to bask in the beauty of your surroundings. Share a bottle of champagne on the comfy seats and chat into the evening with a gorgeous background.

For the lazy days, switch between the pool and the seats, topping your glass with a fresh drink each time. When lunchtime hits, gather round the outdoor dining table to share pizza, pasta and wine from the vineyards.

If you wanted to explore the beautiful scenery that surrounds the villa, you're expertly placed. Iano, a tranquil hub of authentic cafes and restaurants, is just five minutes away by foot. For a livelier scene, the sprawling cities of Pisa, Florence and Siena are a short drive away.
