This villa can be found in charming, medieval Palazzuolo sul Senio, just over an hour from Florence. It’s surrounded by dense forests, with hiking and trekking trails through the Apennines from nearby, though a restaurant and shops 100 metres away mean it’s not too remote. If you’re like us, you’ll spend most of your time outside, swimming in the pool, chilling in the hot tub, or feasting on the covered terrace – barbecue, anyone? The two one-bedroom apartments are ideal for couples seeking a bit of space, making this an excellent choice for a large family holiday.

Home truths:
*The swimming pool and hot tub are open from 15th April to 30th September.
*This home comprises the main villa and two separate apartments, so you won’t all be sleeping under one roof.
*The main villa is spread over three floors, so it may not be suitable for those with reduced mobility.
*Your host has arranged for towels and bed linen to be changed every three days. They’ve also arranged daily housekeeping.
*There’s free parking at this home.
*Your host can provide a high chair for little ones.
