A recent entry in the guestbook of this villa in Tuscany reads, “One of the best places on earth!” We know you’ll agree. If food and wine are your passion you’re in luck; this estate produces both wine and olive oil. You’ll stay in a stately stone farmhouse on top of the hill among those olives and grapes, the rolling countryside laid out beneath you.

Spend your days by the L-shaped private pool, which sits on a pretty stone terrace nestled on the side of the hill. Active travellers will adore the gym, with both cardio and weightlifting equipment. Come inside the villa, and feel the Old World charm. Original wooden beams oversee antique furniture and a wide brick fireplace in the living room. You’ll be charmed by the eat-in kitchen (with stone floors and intricate blue tiles) and the dining room, where you can open the doors and let the breezes blow through.

You're in the Chianti region - known worldwide for its food-friendly red wine. The closest town to your holiday villa is Montefiridolfi (4 km), but it's also within striking distance of Florence (23 km), whose airport is conveniently located too, just 30 km from the villa.
