Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Nestled in the lush Florentine countryside, this beautiful home has a private pool and outdoor space for sunbathing and alfresco dining. While its look is very traditional and won't be for everyone, the location is absolutely gorgeous, making you feel like you've stepped back in history. Spread over three floors, phenomenal views are guaranteed – there is a bedroom and bathroom on the ground floor, but lots of stairs throughout the home. You'll have modern conveniences like wi-fi and air conditioning to ensure you'll be comfortable though, and we think it's a great choice for families. Furry friends are welcome for a cleaning fee, and your host can provide a free cot and high chair if you're travelling with little ones.
The Plum Promise
- No time for average – We reject thousands of homes worldwide, so you don't have to.

This home is spread over three floors, but there is a bedroom and bathroom on the ground floor. There are stairs between some rooms on the same floor, though.
The spiral staircases at this home have a lot of gaps between the stairs, so little ones will need to be supervised.
The traditional decor here might not be to everyone's taste. It feels a little dated in parts.
