You'll find this restored Tuscan farmhouse at the top of a hill, overlooking the rolling green countryside which is dotted with olive groves, cypresses and fruit trees. Showcasing plenty of rustic charm, you'll be surrounded by original features here, from vaulted ceilings to stone walls and terracotta tiles. While indoors you'll have everything you need to feel right at home, the garden is a real gem, offering a swimming pool and plenty of comfy seating. Enjoy a slow start to the day with a refreshing dip or simply curl up on the outdoor sofa with a cup of coffee. Surrounded by lavender, sage and an array of colorful flowers, the outdoor space here is truly a treat for the senses. Once you're feeling refreshed and ready to explore, there's even more beauty to discover in Greve, and if you're looking for authentic Tuscan character, this is where you'll find it. Wander around the array of shops that frame the town's main square, then indulge in a leisurely lunch in one of the local restaurants. Food is an art form here, and we highly recommend you browse the artisan delis to pick up some ingredients for dinner before heading home. When you return,... the only way to spend an evening is to eat a delicious, home-cooked meal beneath the vine-covered pergola. A stone barbecue and outdoor kitchen mean you can really get creative and have a go at crafting some Tuscan dishes, accompanied by a bottle of local wine. As you dine alfresco, the sight of the sun setting over the dense forests below will likely stay with you for many years to come.
