Ode to Nature

Ode to Nature: Tuscany

Imagine waking up to expansive views across rolling hills and olive groves, wandering through a blossoming garden to spend slow days by the pool and simply embracing the sweetness of Italian living. Fortunately, this Tuscan home is perfectly positioned to make this vision a reality.

Formerly a farmhouse, the owners have since restored the building into a private countryside retreat – providing a welcoming space to relax and share quality time together. From the rustic tones and textures to the simple styling and air-conditioned bedrooms, there’s a wonderful sense of harmony between tradition and contemporary comfort here. It’s the kind of space that makes you want to settle in and stay. So whether you’re enjoying a quiet morning sipping coffee beneath the trees, taking a dip in the pool, or gathering for meals under the vine-covered pergola, you’ll find yourself captivated by the natural charm of this setting.

From here, it’s just a short scenic drive (or walk) to Cortona, while the majestic towns of Siena, Florence and Arezzo are also within driving distance. Stroll medieval cobbled streets, admire the rich cultural heritage and savour delicious local cuisine whilst watching the sunset on another dreamy day in the Tuscan hills.
