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 the home’s own vineyards, and settle down in the chill-out area under the old oak tree for a night of stargazing. Featuring seven bedrooms – each with its own ensuite – a large group or family will enjoy spending quality time together without sacrificing their own personal space.
