To say this luxury handcrafted stone villa took our breath away, well, that's an understatement. This place is enchanting with its vistas over a patchwork of Chianti Classico vineyards, olive groves, and oak forests. Relax by the pool or have a stroll around the vegetable garden and take in the fragrance of the Mediterranean herbs. Our favourite spot has to be the spa area with a sauna, Turkish bath, shower and relaxation zone to one side and pizza oven to the other. Inside, you'll find typical Tuscan features, such as traditional terracotta floors and a country-style kitchen. With its multiple living rooms, this home is perfect for a large family or group of friends. Off one of the dining areas is a snug that converts into a bedroom with an ensuite bathroom – ideal for guests with limited mobility. We adore the local travertine stone bathrooms throughout this villa too. Out and about, you'll find woodland streams and netw...
You’ll find this stunning twelfth-century watermill set among dappled woodland and 1.5 acres of flourishing gardens in the rambling Tuscan countryside. The owners, Marco and Alessandro, spent years lovingly renovating the home, restoring its timber beams, stone walls and terracotta flagstone floors while incorporating antique and custom pieces to create a warm, rustic ambience. If you’re spending time outside, we bet you’ll be relaxing under a parasol by the saltwater infinity pool – it’s built inside the trench that supplied the mill with water over 800 years ago. After a sun-soaked morning, head into the woods for secret spots and the best views of the rolling landscape. When you’re feeling peckish, indulge in Italian feasts out on the patio – or if you don’t feel like cooking, you’re only a five-minute drive from the gorgeous restaurants in Montepulciano. As the evening draws in, take a bottle of wine produced from grapes grown in th...
