Crimson Grove

Escape to the Tuscan countryside with the whole extended brood at this sprawling Chianti home. An easy day trip from Florence, it offers stunning vineyard views and ample space for everyone to stretch out and relax. In terms of layout, this home consists of several apartments spread across the main house and barn. Though each has its own kitchen, there's a huge table that can accommodate everyone for a large-scale family feast (fresh-cooked pasta, anyone?). You can also enjoy the sun-kissed garden and patio, a seasonal swimming pool, and wine straight from the surrounding estate – what's not to love?

Home truths:
*Though not every room is photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
*This home consists of several apartments, each with a small lounge and kitchenette. Four are in the main house. There's a steep staircase to the tower room on the second floor – it lacks a door so isn't suitable for children. Two other bedrooms are located in the barn. There's a large communal kitchen in the main house where you can all dine together.
*Nine of the ten beds can be arranged as either one double or two singles.
*The pool is saltwater. It is available to use between May and October.
*You'll need a car here. Five parking spaces are available.
*Your host can provide a free cot and high chair upon request.
