Just like the romantic notion of Tuscany we've all gleaned from books and films over the years, this beautiful, rustic farmhouse stands on an enormous estate, filled with centuries-old olive groves and famed for its high-quality olive oil. Peaceful and secluded, yet only five minutes from the town, it's the quintessential Tuscan retreat – complete with a new pool and a huge private garden dotted with cypress trees, shady oaks and olive trees. Stone-built in the 18th century and packed with character thanks to its terracotta floors and exposed timber ceilings, it's a charming and comfortable home that's been through a careful restoration recently. We love the living room, with its fireplace and archways, but there are modern touches here too – most notably in the contemporary kitchen and the metal staircases. Bedrooms and bathrooms are typically spacious and elegant, and most have views to die for. And there's a unique reading room in the tower – perfect if you're looking for some extra seclusion and a truly inspiring view. At the foot of the old Etruscan town of Montepulciano, it's just a short drive from the region's other medieval villages, such as Montalcino, San Quirico d'Orcia, Pienza and Cortona.
