Fonte Di Pierdo - Onze Chambres Villa, Couchages 22

Fonte Di Pierdo is an elegant, spacious home with beautiful landscaped gardens. Historically used as a hunting lodge by Tuscany's ruling Dukes, the Medici family, the house is the perfect blend of old and new, as you will find modern, luxurious interiors inside the 16th-century building and garden walls.

The villa is spread over two floors; on the ground floor, you will find a stunning, double-height living room flooded with natural light and furnished with comfortable sofas and solid wood furniture that surround centuries-old fireplaces and sit on restored terracotta tiles. Guests can gather in this vast room in the evenings for drinks while the children spend time in the smaller sitting room, giving them a little space. When it is time for dinner, you can all dine around a large dining table lit by chandeliers.

The home has an impressive eleven bedrooms where guests can be assured of a relaxing night's sleep. Two of these rooms, a double room and a twin room, are located on the ground floor, while the other bedrooms are on the first floor and are divided into two separate wings. These wings are not connected but can each be reached from downstairs, meaning each wing could offer privacy to different groups or families who are travelling together as a larger party. There are nine bedrooms on the first floor and five well-appointed bathrooms.

With a lovely climate, you are sure to want to spend much of your time outdoors in the vast garden. Made up of lawned spaces, patios with little tables, wooded areas and a pergola-covered dining terrace, the garden is a tranquil oasis where you can spend leisurely days in the sun. The star attraction of the garden is the collection of pools in the centre; there is a large freeform swimming pool which flows over into a small pool, perfect for children, and there is also a rock-carved jacuzzi where you can unwind and listen to the sounds of the birds in the trees. If you fancy a round of tennis, you will be pleased to know that the villa has a private court with rackets and balls available for guests.

The house is ideally situated for relaxed days spent making memories in the gardens and surrounding countryside and day trips to nearby towns and villages. The nearest village is just 1km away and can be reached on foot. It is a good spot for picking up fresh pastries or dining out at one of the pizzerias or grill restaurants. Also close by is the Altopascio which is a 5km drive from the house. The village has a number of historic attractions as well as a wide range of eateries and artisan shops.
