Secluded in the picturesque hills of Tuscany, this traditional villa is a peaceful haven for families looking to see the countryside. Apart from dreamy views from the covered terrace and private swimming pool, we like the versatility of this home. Split into two apartments with four en-suite bedrooms each, you can keep them independent for more privacy or connect them via the internal staircase. When it comes to exploring, find beaches like Marina di Bibbona around thirty minutes away, and the home also makes a good base for day trips to Cecina, Volterra and beyond.
