Take Me to Toscana

Take Me to Toscana: Tuscany

Halfway between Arezzo and Siena, this 18th-century farmhouse makes a fantastic base for exploring Tuscany. The garden will surely be a hit, featuring a private pool (open seasonally), a loggia with a brick barbecue, and a terrace where you can tuck into alfresco meals – not to mention plenty of lawn space where kids and pets can let off some steam. Inside, though dated, certainly doesn't lack charm. We love all the character features, from the timber beams on the ceiling down to the terracotta floors. With seven en-suite bedrooms (including two on the ground floor), it’s a great option for extended families and large friend groups.

Home truths:
*Up to two well-behaved pets are welcome to join you.
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide two cots and two high chairs on request.
*The dated interiors here aren’t up to Plum’s typical standards. We let this one into our collection on behalf of the garden and the location in Tuscany.
*The swimming pool is only available for use between mid-April and mid-October. Check with your host for exact dates.
*Although this home is spread across two levels, two bedrooms and two bathrooms are located on the ground floor.
*A car is necessary in this rural location. There's on-site parking space for up to four cars. Access is via a 100m private gravel road.
