Property details

Escape to a beautiful historic farmhouse in the picturesque Tuscan countryside, with stunning scenery, great amenities and a Blue Flag beach just five minutes away - includes a welcome coffee and more
  • Blissful rural bolthole: Set amid sprawling countryside mere moments from Tuscany’s world-famous coastline, Antico Podere San Francesco makes for an utterly idyllic country retreat. Housed in a gorgeous former farmhouse, the hotel offers a collection of airy rooms and apartments, where modern amenities and sleek designs blend seamlessly with charming old-world features like exposed brick walls, timber-beamed ceilings and wrought iron touches.

  • Magical mornings: Wake up to a wonderful buffet spread each morning, where scrumptious pastries, regional products and savoury staples combine for an authentic Italian breakfast with an international twist. Top it up with a steaming cappuccino or caffè latte, and later on, the Honesty Bar is on-hand for snacks, panini, soft drinks, and a selection of local wines.

  • Lovely leisure: Stroll through lush gardens to the large heated pool, where you can spend long days switching between gentle laps and good books under your parasol. Stick around for tranquil walks on the hotel’s three hectares of rolling parkland, or hire a bike onsite for a memorable ride through the surrounding countryside. Not to be missed is Vada’s magnificent Blue Flag beach just five minutes’ drive away, a veritable jewel on Tuscany’s famous Etruscan Coast.

You simply can’t go wrong in Tuscany, one of Italy’s most beautiful regions boasting everything from breathtaking rural landscapes to pristine beaches, world-famous cultural landmarks and everything in between. When you aren’t channelling country-chic in your dreamy rural abode, you’ll find plenty of the region’s highlights within driving distance, whether you’re looking to tick some Art Cities off your bucket list or relax amid spellbinding scenery.
 
The surrounding hills are a prime spot for scenic hikes and bike rides, and are also dotted with historic towns showcasing magnificent medieval and Renaissance architecture. Start in nearby Vada just five minutes’ drive away (perfectly paired with a trip to the beach), or head north for about 40 minutes to reach Livorno, a gorgeous coastal city home to intricate canals, sprawling piazze, a 16th-century fortress and a dazzling seafront promenade. You’ll find Pisa just a little further up, while in the opposite direction you shouldn’t miss Castiglione della Pescaia, a lively port town with quaint cobbled streets, and the impressive Romanesque cathedral at Massa Marittima.  
Five-star booking service? You bet.
