Villa Pistoia is a luxury villa in Tuscany that you will want to return to time and again. Whilst it has been equipped with all the mod cons guests could want, the owners have restored it beautifully ensuring that they kept many original features such as terracotta flooring and wooden beams. The colour scheme throughout is warm, using earthy tones in keeping with the Tuscany region.
Outside, there is a beautiful infinity swimming pool enjoying breathtaking views, open from June to September. Plenty of sun loungers are arranged on the terrace around the pool whilst a shaded portico has a table and chairs, perfect for al fresco dining.
