Tucked away in the heart of Tuscany, this serene stone house sets the scene for many happy holiday memories made with your loved ones. It sits on a green and leafy spot, with some wonderful views over the Tuscan hills in the distance that you can enjoy from one of the many sitting areas in the gardens and on the terrace. There's a dreamy private pool here so you can stay refreshed in the Tuscan heat, as well as an outdoor kitchen with a barbecue and wood oven for alfresco feasts. Inside, the interiors are a little lacking in light, but they feel peaceful and secluded, and feature all you need for a home-from-home stay.

Home truths
One of the bedrooms is located in a separate annexe with its own lounge area, ideal for couples who'd like more privacy.
The swimming pool is only available for use between 1st May and 30th September. It isn't fenced, so if you're bringing little ones, they'll need to be supervised at all times.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot for free. You'll need to request it in advance.
Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. There's free semi-covered parking at the home.
While we love the overall design of this home, it is lacking in natural light.
