First Of The Summer Wine

Surrounded by olive trees and vast swathes of vineyards, this Tuscan home in the heart of the Chianti wine region is a haven of rural relaxation. Its exposed stone exterior gives way to a bright interior, where farmhouse simplicity meets elegant design in the living room. With its giant hearth, plump sofas and tiered chandelier, this is the perfect spot for socialising over a glass of wine or curling up by the fire with a good book on cooler nights. With four comfortable bedrooms boasting postcard-like countryside views and a farm-style kitchen full of traditional charm, you’ll have everything you need to make yourself right at home. Head outside to take cool dips in the pool, or sit back in one of the many sun loungers while taking in the spectacular hillside views. Wander around the vineyards, visit Castellina in Chianti (less than ten minutes away by car), then come back home for a barbecue under the pergola paired, naturally, with a glass of Chianti.
