Located in the heart of the Tuscan countryside, this home has a wonderful setting. With a private patio and garden, it's the perfect place to unwind and soak up the sun. There are shared grounds spanning several acres and a pool as well. The views of the city of Florence from here, we have to say, are amazing. Set over two floors, the accommodation is rustic and charming. And while the kitchen doesn’t have an oven, there’s a hob and a microwave. There are also a variety of restaurants in the sleepy village of Settignano, a short walk away. Or visit Florence with its cultural treasures – it’s within easy driving distance.
