Set among a sprawling 15,000 sq/m estate, dotted with olive groves and vineyards, this countryside villa is Tuscany at its best. Suitable for formal events such as your dream Italian wedding, or simply a holiday with all your favourite people, the villa offers ample space for 14 guests to enjoy themselves. Under the wooden beam ceilings and among the vintage furniture, you’ll feel as if you’ve been transported to Renaissance Italy. Outside, you'll have a huge garden to enjoy to yourself, planted with flowers and herbs. Spend hours swimming or tanning under the warm Mediterranean sun – there is even a changing room and a shower right by the pool. Evenings are for grilling steaks on the barbecue and savouring dinners around the fire pit. Later, younger guests can have fun in the games room, while adults stay upstairs sipping sundowners and chitchatting in front of the fireplace. If you need anything extra, you can get to nearby Vada in 15 minutes by car.
