This is a great option for multi-generational families or friends who want to be spoilt. The beautifully kept Casale Cipressi impresses from the word go: its cypress-lined drive and a gleaming white stone sculpture announces that you are arriving somewhere special. There’s even a private helipad. A pleasant drive from the small hilltop commune of Castellina in Chianti, this purpose-built bolthole has commanding views across surrounding hills. It is well placed for days out in Siena, San Gimignano and Florence, but the temptation to simply chill out here will be strong.

The property exploits antique and contemporary natural materials – stone, terracotta, wood, rattan – beautifully, inside and out, while offering all the benefits of modern design. Organised on two floors, each with its own facilities, this is an ideal property for a group holiday that also allows individuals downtime. With five well-furnished terraces and loggia, including a delightful courtyard, gently sloping lawns, an outdoor fireplace for cooler evenings, ping-pong table and generous private pool, everyone, older and younger, will find their own favourite spots to colonise.
