Nestled on a wine-producing estate in the heart of Tuscany, this traditional villa is built for grand gatherings. There's an extensive garden with not one but two pools, as well as a sprawling terrace that has alfresco feasts written all over it. With ten bedrooms, ten bathrooms, and an array of cosy lounges, there's more than enough room indoors to spread out. The design is a little dated, but we think there's a certain charm to it. And we can't forget the views. Tuscany's rolling countryside beckons from every angle. When you're ready to explore, you'll find Pisa, Florence, Palaia, and Volterra all within easy driving distance.

- No time for average – We rejected 6,553 homes in Florence, so you don't have to.
