01

A nine-room country charmer set in a beautifully restored 17th-century mansion amid the rolling, UNESCO-listed hills of the Val d'Orcia, between the medieval towns of Pienza and Montalcino. Days drift by at the olive-tree-lined pool with valley views, while the Taverna di Mozart serves a seasonal menu of traditional Tuscan dishes made from local ingredients.

02

A historic hilltop hotel set in a medieval tower above Florence, dating to around 1200 and once home to poet Guido Cavalcanti before passing through the Medici and Michelozzi families, with a frescoed entrance hall and gardens overlooking the city. The intimate property offers a handful of individually styled rooms, an outdoor pool, and a peaceful retreat just minutes from Boboli Gardens and Pitti Palace.

03

Clifftop classicism with a lively golden hour—spritzes on the terrace, sea air, and a well‑heeled crowd drifting between bar and dining room. Service is polished but relaxed, and evenings stretch late under the stars. Request a high‑floor sea view and reserve tables and spa time in advance.

04

Tucked into a 15th-century estate between Florence and Siena, this osteria occupies an old olive mill with original stone walls and a cozy fireplace. They make their own pasta, grow their own olives for oil, and produce wine from surrounding vineyards. Summer means dining on the terrace with sweeping valley views, while winter brings crackling fires and hearty Tuscan comfort food. Worth the scenic 30-minute drive from Florence.

05

Tuscan hills, golden light, and a terrace that fills at aperitivo—relaxed, social, and quietly elegant. Service is polished yet easygoing; dinner stretches late under the stars. Request a vineyard‑view room and reserve spa and pool cabanas ahead in summer.
