This inspirational old rambling farmhouse has been painstakingly rebuilt and restored with original Tuscan stone and brick under a traditional orange tile roof. Called Poggio Velluto, it is decorated throughout with genuine Tuscan furniture and artefacts to create the true spirit of Tuscany.

The accommodation is set on a hill (‘poggio’ means ‘hillock’ in Italian) on sloping ground in isolated woodland to give an air of solitude and tranquillity – yet is only 3km from the small village of Seggiano with its shops, bank and post office. There are also five very good restaurants in the vicinity for a real taste of Tuscany – or you can dine in comfort and style at home on the patio or under the shady pergola. Guests of the two apartments, Paradiso di Giuliano and Paradiso di Rossana, share a gorgeous swimming pool set in a high lawn above the villa where you can enjoy spectacular views of olive groves, woodland and vineyards.

Because Poggio Velluto can sleep a total of 11 in the two apartments and there is a lockable interconnecting door, this secluded villa in Tuscany would be ideal for two large families or groups of friends sharing.
