Just driving up to this fabulous Tuscan home is a pleasure in itself. Surrounded by manicured lawns, tall cypress trees and rolling hills, it's an imposing place in a secluded setting. Within the private estate of Arceno, it comprises a main stone-built villa and an Annesso – a historic barn converted into a separate intimate home. The main house is dominated by its central courtyard, while the lush gardens are home to a stunning pool and outdoor dining spots. We love the thought of gathering the whole gang around the long dining tables for lazy lunches of lemon ravioli and chilled white wine, lasting far into the afternoon. Inside, this home is elegant and comfortable, with period features, antique furniture and grand reception rooms. The concierge service makes things even easier, providing items ranging from the basic (oil and selected toiletries) to the delectable (spirits and house wine). One of the best ways to acquaint yourself with the landscape is to book a horse riding session, but if that doesn’t appeal, a walk out into the countryside is just as charming. For the more energetic among us, day trips to Florence and the region’s major towns are possible.

Local guide
About Siena Province
Step back into medieval Italy with a trip to Siena. The city is famous for its contrade, the maze-like historic districts that haven’t changed a beat in over a hundred years. Join the crowds in July and August when Siena’s famous Palio horserace thunders around the Piazza del Campo, or visit outside of the peak summer months for a calmer experience. Siena, rich in tradition, is also a great spot...
