Sunset Sketches

Sunset Sketches: Tuscany

This home is a truly secluded spot only accessible via a 3km long gravel road. With plenty of space for you plus thirteen of your favourite people, it's the perfect hideaway in the rolling Tuscan countryside.

The villa's interior retains plenty of its traditional features, from the terracotta tiles and wooden ceiling beams to the brick archway leading into the kitchen. Embrace your inner nonna and whip up your favourite Italian dishes in this charming space, or ask your host to arrange a private chef to take on catering duties. You'll love dining outside on the terrace, as you admire the stunning views across the hills. And, there's plenty more outdoor space to enjoy – plunge into the swimming pool before drying off on a sun lounger or enjoy some peace and quiet with a coffee on the balcony.

We don't blame you if you never want to leave this little slice of heaven, but there is plenty to do and see in the surrounding area. The historic villages of Campiglia Marittima is just four minutes away by car, where you can wander through cobbled streets and visit family-run restaurants. If you fancy a day at the beach, you can drive to the sandy shoreline of Spiaggia di Rimigliano in just 20km away, and there are some stunning coastal walks nearby too.
