Nestled in the idyllic landscape of woods and olive groves between Florence and Siena, this gorgeous Tuscan villa boasts views like no other and a private pool available in summer. With bedrooms spread over two buildings for extra space and privacy, we think it's ideal for friend groups or multiple families travelling together. The decor is quite traditional and might not be to everyone's taste, but the location is fantastic. You'll easily enjoy the tranquillity of the countryside while being an easy drive from Florence.
