Just over an hour away by train from lively Bologna, Brisighella is a charming medieval village straight out of a storybook. With its hilltop clock tower, narrow alleyways and ancient walkway, it's the definition of picturesque. And this villa on the outskirts of town is the perfect place to take it all in. Consisting of the main house and a small annexe, everything here feels bright and welcoming. There's a touch of that rustic warmth you'd expect from a country home in the knotted beams and stone floor, but otherwise, the design is all old-world elegance – imagine wingback chairs, canopy beds and glittering chandeliers. Outside, the panoramic views of the Tuscan Apennines take centre stage. Whether you're sipping wine under the pergola, taking a dip in the pool or enjoying home-cooked meals in the fresh air, you'll have a front-row seat to spectacular sunsets and sweeping night skies. Trust us – you'll never want to leave.
