The Tuscan Flower

You'll find this villa on the cusp of Emilia Romagna and Tuscany. Here, rolling fields stretch out in every direction – chances are, you'll spend most of your time in the garden, admiring the scenery. There's a private pool (open seasonally), an outdoor seating area (perfect for aperitifs) and an alfresco dining table with views towards the hills. Inside is traditional in every sense, so it won't appeal to those who prefer modern design. Still, it's cosy, comfortable and charming – although it is spread across multiple levels, which may be difficult for guests with limited mobility. When you're ready to explore, the nearest village is within walking distance, while others like Modigliana and Portico di Romagna are reachable by car.
