Villa Bello - Ten Bedroom Villa, Sleeps 20

Imagine a stately stone farmhouse that’s just what a villa in Tuscany should be - a portal to the most beautiful countryside in the world. This family villa is situated on a 180 hectare farm, looking out over sunflower fields, hills and valleys. Here your guests will stay in one of four classic Tuscan apartments, each with an independent entrance and a kitchen - a perfect arrangement for an extended family or a small wedding party. The largest apartment has a grand sitting room for everyone to gather for a meal, or simple family time around the fireplace.

In the midst of the gardens you’ll find that the private swimming pool looks out over pristine farmland. On the shady, rustic loggia you’ll open a bottle of wine (or several!) and toast your great fortune, or have an intimate picnic on the ancient stone table on the hillside.

The nearest town is Cetona, a picturesque walled city on a hill with convenient shops and restaurants. San Casciano dei Bagni is a spa and hot spring destination you shouldn’t miss. And with Florence only 100 km hence, this holiday villa is in the heart of Tuscany.
