Explore Tuscany in a true, romantic fashion at this countryside home. Stone walls, beamed ceilings, traditional furniture, and a grand fireplace come together to create a cosy and warm atmosphere, welcoming you from the moment you arrive. Inside, you'll find a huge kitchen (perfect for practising gnocchi-making skills with your loved ones), billiard table and vast entertaining space, with an array of charming en-suite bedrooms at the top of the terracotta staircase. Outside, there's a beautiful portico for alfresco lunches and dinners, and a stunning swimming pool lined in sky-blue tiles – it even has its own hydromassage area. Kids will spend endless hours entertaining themselves with the slide and swing set, while adults can climb the external stone staircase to sip sundowners on the small terrace where the old watchtower once was.
