Standing proud in the Tuscan countryside, this terracotta-bricked villa is one to remember. What struck us most wasn’t the size of the villa, it wasn’t even the azure swimming pool, it was the 3000+ square feet of lush gardens that surrounds it. You’re on your own private land here, encircled by rows of healthy vines, with views stretching out to the horizon. With so much greenery around you, you might feel a million miles from anything, but the famously beautiful town of Montepulciano is just under a mile away. Families and groups of friends will love making use of the vast outdoor space, playing games on the grass and enjoying the scenery from a sun lounger. Let the blissful hours melt by, doing little else but reading, swimming, and relaxing. If you get itchy feet, take a gentle stroll around the gardens, before savouring a glass of local wine on the veranda – you can pick it up from the famous nearby winery, Poliziano’s.
