Rent Villa Tulip Summers Tuscany

This Tuscan villa still feels like it could be the country home of 18th-century Popes and princes, but with a distinctly 21st-century sleek swimming pool. Set in 4,000 square metres of typically Tuscan grounds, the apricot facade stands out against perfectly manicured lawns and cypress trees standing sentinel. A collonaded terrace and pergola twisting with vines shade outdoor seating, and dinner can be set for the whole group at the rustic-style wooden table and benches. Or, for a more formal affair, the wicker chairs on the poolside patio look out over the rolling Tuscan countryside. Inside, it’s understated grandeur with wood-beamed ceilings harking back to the olden days, and candelabra lighting the dining room and study. There are several living rooms secluded in alcoves and tucked behind archways – choose to relax in the grand lounge set around a fireplace, or an art-filled snug off the dining room. True to Italy, the huge kitchen is the heart of the home with its classy dark-wood cabinets and a pasta maker as well as everything you need for a rustic feast. While this home is secluded in the countryside, the charming hamlet of San Miniato is 5km away, with all the essentials like shops, banks and restaurants.
