At a glance: Villa Il Colto sleeps 12 in 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms in Arezzo, Tuscany. Pool: private 8 × 5 m pool (heating on request) and an outdoor hot tub, both looking over the valley; open 24 April – 16 October.

The essence

A historic villa with medieval origins on the very top of a hill outside Terranuova Bracciolini, with 360-degree views over the Valdarno and the Tuscan countryside. Skilfully restored, it pairs stone and terracotta floors and brick arches with bright, airy rooms and fine Italian furniture: six bedrooms for twelve, generous living and dining rooms, and sun-drenched terraces. Outside, a pool and an outdoor hot tub look over the valley, a loggia shelters the long table, and the Fratini sisters — whose family has run hotels and restaurants in the town since the 1960s — welcome guests with a home-cooked dinner on arrival.
