The Sunlit Dwelling

If you’ve been dreaming of a Tuscan escape, this apartment in an 18th-century estate may do the trick. With a shared swimming pool, sprawling gardens and a soccer pitch, this place ticks tons of boxes. The private terrace for slow mornings and evening cocktails is a bonus, too. Inside offers rustic charm and traditional touches, plus all the contemporary mod-cons needed for a comfortable stay. It’s located just outside of Calci, where you can enjoy horse riding, indulge in traditional cuisine and brush shoulders with the locals, plus Pisa is only a bit further afield. That said, a car is recommended to get the most out of your stay here.
