Buried deep within the vineyards and olive groves, this rural retreat offers ample outside space for those wanting a quiet getaway to Tuscany.

This quaint redbrick villa with its duck-egg-blue shutters and intoxicating gardens is an enchanting escape in the south of Tuscany. Bordered by thick, leylandii hedges, the hectare of grounds is a symphony of colour, with blooming flowers and lush Mediterranean verdure.
