If peace and quiet are what you're after, the slow pace of life at this Tuscan villa will suit you perfectly. Surrounded by the Chianti hills and just an hour’s drive from Florence, you can experience the best of both worlds here. While some elements of this home are a little traditional, it invites you to step into the past while enjoying plenty of modern comforts, with an outdoor pool, an indoor hot tub, and a gym – bliss. Outside, unwind with your book in one of the shaded lounging spots, or, if exploring is more your thing, you’ll find the town of Signa, multiple hiking trails and the Renaissance museum at Villa Caruso di Bellosguardo, all within easy reach.
