Vine & Blossom

Vineyards stretch as far as the eye can see at this Chianti villa. Settings rarely get more picturesque than this – we can already picture lazy afternoons by the private pool and alfresco drinks on the covered terrace, all while admiring the views. Inside, you'll find plenty of 17th-century charm, including a brick domed ceiling in the bathroom and an ornamental fireplace that housed the estate's former furnace. You'll have double the space here, too, since the home is two separate apartments. Location-wise, it's halfway between Florence and Siena, so the possibilities for day trips and adventures around Tuscany are endless.

Home truths:
*This home consists of two apartments on two floors, connected by an external staircase. Each has a living area, kitchen, two bathrooms, and two bedrooms. It’s about thirteen steps down from one apartment to the other.

*Your host can provide a cot and high chair upon request.
*The swimming pool is only available to use from the last Saturday in April until the first Saturday in October.
*The traditional decor here may not be to everyone's taste. It feels a little dated in parts.
