The Olive & the Vine

The Olive & the Vine: Tuscany

Pictures don't do this elegant farmhouse justice. Ideal for dream weddings, romantic getaways or family holidays, this home offers a private chef and helicopter transfers, amongst other optional luxuries. The wine cellar is stocked with the area's finest wines, and the pool and expansive gardens are perfect for congregating under the sun. You'll definitely want a car here – while this home provides peace and privacy, it's an excellent location for exploring central Italy. Montepulciano is 5km away, and places like Siena, Arezzo, Florence and Rome are easily reached by car or train.
