The Tuscan 360

The Tuscan 360: Tuscany

It doesn't get much better than this 18th-century villa. Spanning over 18 acres of woodlands and olive groves with a 360° view of the Valdinievole valley, this traditional stone home is an oasis. A renovation has transformed this home into a Tuscan dream, using materials from the surrounding area while retaining its traditional charm. And if you're somehow not yet convinced that this historical home is something special, step inside and take in the antiques, paintings, Persian rugs, terracotta floors, and so much more. It's elegant and classic, but certainly not without its mod-cons. Outdoor hydromassage tub, hydromassage showers, Waterlily mattresses, and bio-switch lighting make for a luxurious stay in this traditional home. Not to mention the infinity pool, overlooking the valley.

Spend days lounging beside the pool on the chaise-longues, soaking up the Tuscan sun, while the kids are kept entertained in the child's play area. Afternoon cocktails are pretty special on the outdoor sofa area, covered by a pergola for when you need a break from the sun. There's so much beauty and so much greenery, you have an unforgettable view from everywhere you turn. But sunset at this home takes the cake. And when it comes to dinner, there isn't a better place to enjoy meals than around the outdoor dining table. The pergola that covers the table has been woven into an old tree, adding an enchanting fairytale feel to this already storybook home. Solar lights surround the table, so you can easily spend your nights tucking into barbecue dinners, enjoying drinks, talking, and playing games until the wee hours.

Although you feel a million miles from everything, you're just a ten-minute drive from Montecatini, famous for its thermal waters. Spend days walking the cobbled streets, admiring the art nouveau architecture, and nights exploring its traditional restaurants and bars.
