Stretch out on the sun loungers of your private terrace or cool off in the shared pool after a day among Tuscany’s hill towns at this farmhouse holiday apartment for 4 guests in Castelfiorentino.

Located on the ground floor of a renovated barn, with its own private entrance, this one-bedroom apartment is a lovely family base on a sunny hilltop estate of eight apartments, surrounded by olive groves and rows of vines, just minutes from a neighbouring winery. Glazed doors open from the living area onto the private terrace, paved in brick beside the barn’s latticed wall, where a parasol shades the table and chairs for al fresco meals and two sun loungers face the lawn. Inside, terracotta floors run through the open-plan living area, with a double sofa bed, a flat-screen satellite TV and a dining table beneath a pendant lamp. The kitchenette has a gas hob, microwave, dishwasher, fridge, drip coffee maker, moka pot and kettle.

Beyond the terrace, the shared fenced garden holds the fenced pool with its sunbathing area, a children’s playground, table tennis, table football and a barbecue area with outdoor dining.
