Standing proud in the Tuscan countryside, this terracotta-bricked villa is one to remember. What struck us most wasn’t the size of the villa, it wasn’t even the azure swimming pool, it was the 3000+ square feet of lush gardens that surrounds it. You’re on your own private land here, encircled by rows of healthy vines, with views stretching out to the horizon. With so much greenery around you, you might feel a million miles from anything, but the famously beautiful town of Montepulciano is just under a mile away. Families and groups of friends will love making use of the vast outdoor space, playing games on the grass and enjoying the scenery from a sun lounger. Let the blissful hours melt by, doing little else but reading, swimming, and relaxing. If you get itchy feet, take a gentle stroll around the gardens, before savouring a glass of local wine on the veranda – you can pick it up from the famous nearby winery, Poliziano’s. When the sun starts to set, the place to be is your Finnish hot tub – there’s nothing more luxurious than sipping wine in a hot tub, watching the sun dip into the green fields. Although this farmhouse was recently renovated, it’s retained its traditional Tuscan charm. Thoughtfully reflecting the region’s architectural style, interspersed with contemporary amenities, it sets the tone for a magical stay in the Tuscan countryside.
