Marble statues, cypress trees standing sentinel and a deep blue swimming pool overlooking the misty hills in the distance; this place is the Tuscan dream. Wandering through the 3,000 square metres of garden you’ll find a sunbathing area by the pool, complete with changing room and outdoor shower. The gazebo at the bottom of the garden can be set for a romantic dinner, or choose to dine rustic-style under the wood-beamed terrace by the barbecue. Inside, each piece of antique furniture and work of art seems to have a story to tell – the walnut chairs in the dining room came from a Florentine villa where the famous poet Gabriele D' Annunzio resided and the master bedroom features a 17th-century painting of the Madonna and Child from the Bologna School. Though this villa feels like an 18th-century retreat with its terracotta tiles, Persian rugs, wood-beamed ceilings and huge stone-hewn fireplace in the lounge, there are modern touches just where you need them – the Jacuzzi shower in the master bathroom alongside a Turkish bath, and gas range cooker next to stone sinks and an open hearth in the kitchen. Fully embrace the essence of old-world Tuscany with a day trip to Pisa (a 50-minute drive) or Florence (less than an hour by train). The town of Monsummano Terme is 2km away where you’ll find a handful of shops, restaurants and cafés.

About Pistoia
It might not make the headlines like nearby Florence or Lucca, but Pistoia is just as packed with culture, history and Tuscan charm. Those who visit will find the Piazza del Duomo could rival the Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence and the bar-filled Piazza della Sala could give the squares of Bologna a run for their money as the ideal spot for aperitivo.
