Description Sage and Rosemary: Poggibonsi

Surrounded by 10 hectares of land, featuring olive groves, lush woods and picturesque vineyards, this home is the perfect introduction to the Tuscan countryside. From the terrace, you can take in the view of the region’s rolling hills, with the hilltown of Poggibonsi rising up in the distance. As you wander through the gardens, breathe in the scent of the lavender, sage and rosemary plants. It’s easy to relax here, whether you’re going for a leisurely swim in the pool, taking some time out in the whirlpool tub or relaxing with a sundowner on the outdoor sofas. Typically Tuscan on the outside, with red-shuttered windows and a terracotta roof, this villa adds a dash of opulence to the occasion inside. From the bright living room with its arched French windows framing the view, to sparkling candelabra above the long, dark-wood dining table. Bedrooms and bathrooms have traditional touches – hand painted wardrobes, vibrat vintage tiling, and twinkling chandeliers. Exploring further afield is a breeze, with the famous city of Siena half an hour away, and Florence just a 45-minute drive.
