This beautiful home in the Tuscan countryside just oozes luxury. It spans three floors and is decorated in high-end furniture, yet it still maintains a homely vibe throughout each room.

Various seating spots scattered around the home make it the perfect setting for social groups or families. Long, wooden dining tables present a space for formal dining – you'll sit here if you take advantage of the culinary skills of a private chef.

Elsewhere, you'll find snug spots and intimate areas to settle down with your favourite people. A veranda sheltering cute tables and seats leads to a beautiful garden, draped in lush greenery and colourful flowers. Wander through the lakes of green and you'll reach the centrepiece of the outdoor area – the idyllic pool.

Lined by sun beds under umbrellas and encompassed by a neatly cut lawn, the pool is a paradisal spot to spend lazy mornings and carefree afternoons. Sunbathe, swim and admire the view for hours, letting any stresses melt away into the green horizon.
