Tower Of Vines

Tower Of Vines: Tuscany

This refurbished stone tower including wooden beam ceilings and terracotta details is in a gorgeously remote location close by to the hamlet of Tignano. The rustic interior makes you feel a million miles away from the hustle and bustle of your usual daily routine.

Snuggle up on the sofa next to the antique stone feature wall with a new book or head outside to the garden to while away the afternoon by the glimmering pool. Take a swim in the refreshing water whilst overlooking the beautiful panoramic landscape, followed by a lush glass of red on the sun loungers – we love the details of the vines on the beams, giving that verdantly overgrown foresty feel.

The amazing city of Florence is only a drive away, the perfect destination to discover unique hidden gems and delicious eateries to sample some of the finest Italian cuisines. Visit historical landmarks and soak up the culture at the wide variety of museums found around the city. Tuscany is also full of some of the most delightful scenery, including authentic Italian vineyards.

In the evening, grill up a storm on the barbeque and enjoy an alfresco homecooked meal at the outdoor dining table while you watch the sunset. Why not take a dip in the pool under the amber glow? Finish off the day by heading back inside to watch a movie on the TV – you'll soon fall asleep to dream of the charming Tuscan hills.

Home truths:
*The owner of this home lives on-site, in a separate part of the home. However, guests said they were very discreet, and they still had enough privacy.

*The pool is quite far from the house, so this home might not be ideal for families with young children who need supervision.

*Guests said there were quite a few mosquitoes in the area, so we'd suggest bringing bug spray.
