An extremely spacious Tuscan-style villa surrounded by acres of olive trees and vineyards, this place is ideal for exploring the countryside – and with its fairytale Italian charm, makes a very dreamy retreat too. Graze on a slice of local delicacy Torta Pistocchi beneath one of the many light gazebos scattered around and take in the idyllic views, before strolling across terracotta floors towards the pool. Nearby, you’ll find a brick barbecue just perfect for grilling up a delicious Tuscan steak and more than enough places inside and out to dine in style too. You’ll be spoilt for choice for verdant terraces to roam around, as well as cosy viewing stations dotted across the grounds. If you’re keen to explore the surrounding area, there’s a range of wineries and vineyards within a ten-minute drive away, plus some stunning historical sights, such as the church Pieve di Santa Maria a Chianni, and the curious Medieval village of Certaldo. Home truths: *Private parking for around ten cars and an electric car charging point are available *All bedrooms have ceiling fans *A cot, high chairs, and camping beds for young children are available upon request *The pool is open from May to the end of September
