Description Tuscan Cypress: Massa e Cozzile

Winding through the curving roads of the Valeniviole that lead to this home in the hills, you’ll get a sense of the lush nature that characterises the area. Italian cypress trees pepper the landscape, and vineyards stretch into the distance. Whether you’re relaxing by the pool, enjoying a barbecued meal on the patio, or watching the sunset with a cocktail in hand, you’ll be able to take in the picturesque view. Inside, you’ll find a traditional Tuscan home that fits into its surroundings perfectly, with charming exposed wooden beams, shuttered windows and a tiled roof. Nearby, you’ll find the historic spa town of Montecatini Terme, with many of Tuscany’s famous cities also within driving distance such as Lucca, Pisa and Florence. For the ultimate in relaxation, organise an in-house chef throughout your stay – it's all about indulgence in Italy.
