Tales of Tuscany

Tales of Tuscany: Tuscany

Pack your bags and make your way to this beautiful hideaway in the San Miniato region in Italy. Enter through the gates and up the grand, stone-paved driveway to a peach-orange typically Tuscan villa with wooden shutters. You’ll immediately want to drop everything to explore the green expanse, jump straight into the infinity pool and stretch out to catch some rays on the plush outdoor armchairs. High-beamed ceilings, arched entryways, terracotta floors and tiled bathrooms give the sense of traditional Italy. This is the kind of home where chandeliers light the formal dining room, baths come with claw feet, and fireplaces are crowned with antique trinkets. This is the perfect opportunity to try your hand at pizza making with the kitchen’s wood-burning oven, and there’s an old-fashioned pasta maker in the alcove for an Italian feast like nonna used to make. Show off your culinary skills as you gather around for a meal at the long, wooden table under the shaded terrace, where views over the rolling Tuscan countryside pair perfectly with a bottle of local red.

Home truths:
*A car will be needed to reach this property as the nearest village is 5km away
*At capacity, three people would share a triple room, so it would best suit a large family
