High on a hill near Vinci, the birthplace of Leonardo, this villa is a fantastic option for families. A self-contained annexe housing the seventh bedroom is perfect for grandparents, and there's more than enough room in the main house for the rest of the party. The garden is, of course, the biggest draw here. Spend your days swimming in the seasonal pool, enjoying sundowners on the terrace, and admiring the far-reaching valley views. Outdoorsy sorts can stroll through the surrounding olive groves and vineyards. Florence is also 35 kilometres away if you fancy an adventure further afield.
