Crossing a gravel path in front of the villa there is a stone paved terrace which leads down several steps to a second terrace with a large barbeque, and furnished with table with chairs to dine al fresco, and an umbrella with sun-beds. On a lower level is the irregular shaped, prefabricated pool which is surrounded by a large wooden sun deck. There are fantastic views from this area.

To one side of the room is a large fireplace, ideal for the cooler nights. Next to this are two wooden armchairs. In the centre of the room is a wooden table with four chairs.
Passing under an arch there is the small kitchen which is well equipped, and includes gas hobs, oven, fridge with separate freezer and dishwasher.
To the other side of the room is a double bedroom which can be set up as a twin, this must be requested when booking. The room has a large wardrobe and a window that provides plenty of light. It looks out to the front of the villa and the views beyond.

In the room is a large wardrobe with mirrors and a wooden chest of drawers. The window opens up onto an internal courtyard surrounded by other houses. At the end of the hall is a small laundry and a bathroom with shower.

I like To Tuscany, partly because it has a tremendous range of villas, and partly because (unlike many companies) it has an excellent website that provides what you really want when choosing a villa.

Our accommodation, which cost less than £800 for the week, is in a converted stone farmhouse next to a 12th Century Franciscan chapel. There is a pergola shaded by vines round the back here we quickly settle into a rhythm of eating long pasta suppers while the shadows lengthen.
