This glorious home is the perfect base for Tuscan getaways. The villa is a renovated 19th-century farmhouse with views looking over the Tuscan hills and the cypress trees and vineyards that cover them. There’s a real sense of tranquillity here, in a home that oozes elegance and antique style. The home is traditional, with beamed ceilings and antique furniture. Wake up in the morning and admire the views of the rolling countryside from your bedroom window, before sitting on the veranda with your morning espresso and pastry. The veranda is a lovely spot for alfresco dining – it’s covered so it’s ideal for when you want a break from the sun. The swimming pool and garden are pretty and serene. Whether you’re swimming laps or reading a book in a quiet corner, you’re sure to feel rested here. Why not visit the vineyard six minutes away and bring back a bottle or two to sip in the sunshine? Volterra is a thirty-minute drive away, and San Gimignano’s historic towers can be reached in forty-two minutes. In terms of day trips, you have plenty of choice, whether you’re all about food and wine or want to learn the history of the places you visit. Golfers will appreciate the villa’s proximity to Castelfalfi Golf Club – it’s a seventeen-minute drive. For a tranquil Tuscan escape with easy access to the best-loved sights in the area, you can’t do better than this picturesque villa.
