Enjoy beautiful hikes, alfresco wines and horseback rides at this peaceful Tuscan holiday home with a private pergola.

Tucked into a lovingly renovated country lodge on a quiet hillside above Capolona, this ground-floor apartment for 3 is rural Tuscany distilled featuring stone walls, timber-beamed ceilings and terracotta floors, softened by warm country-style furnishings. The living and dining room, with its open kitchen for easy self-catering, leads straight out to a large rear pergola where barbecue dinners stretch late over a wide panorama of hills, with a private garden for slow afternoons among the greenery.

What truly sets this stay apart waits on the doorstep. The owners run the hamlet\'s English-style riding stables, offering lessons, pony rides for children, guided hacks through the hills and even food and wine tastings. Honeymooners come for the privacy and the views, families for the ponies, and the air-conditioned bedroom keeps everyone comfortable on warm Tuscan nights.

Location

This holiday apartment sits in Il Santo, a tiny stone hamlet less than a 10-minute drive from Capolona. The countryside takes over the moment you step outside, with hiking and riding trails threading straight out from the hamlet into the surrounding hills. Capolona itself covers the essentials with supermarkets, a pizzeria and a craft brewpub, while the rustic Fattoria Le Rocche restaurant serves celebrated Tuscan dinners in the nearby countryside.

The star day trip is Arezzo (20-minute drive), one of Tuscany\'s great underrated cities, a short drive south: climb to the sloping Piazza Grande, seek out Piero della Francesca\'s Legend of the True Cross frescoes in the Basilica of San Francesco, and time your visit for the antiques fair that fills the streets on the first weekend of each month. To the north, the Casentino valley unfolds with castles and the ancient forests of a national park. The nearest airport is Florence Airport, approximately an hour and a quarter\'s drive from this holiday apartment in the Tuscan countryside.
