Put Your Loving Arms Around Me

Put Your Loving Arms Around Me: Tuscany

Immerse yourself in tranquillity at this 15th-century Tuscan farmhouse, surrounded by 60 hectares of private land. Spend idyllic days lounging by the pool listening to the birdsong. Then cook up a delicious feast in the wood-burning oven with ingredients from the estate's organic vegetable garden, and enjoy the fruits of your labour under the shade of the pergola. After lunch, have a stroll amongst the fragrant flowers in the garden, or if you're feeling more energetic, have a game of football on the pitch.

On chillier days, gather around one of the fireplaces – there are a wealth of character features here, such as the old wooden beams and terracotta floor tiles with their lovely patina. We love the vistas over the countryside from the bedrooms – our favourite is the room in the beautiful tower or perhaps the one with the four-poster bed – it's difficult to decide.

Out and about, there's plenty to explore by walking, on horseback, bike or car. The gorgeous spa town of Chianciano Terme is nine kilometres away, or archaeology and history lovers can head to Chiusi, which is 11 kilometres from this lovely home.
