A short distance from ecotours, birdwatching, and more, this family-friendly vacation home lets you experience it all. Thanks to the convenient onsite parking, you can either leave your vehicle behind and let your feet make short work of the 11-minute walk to Casa Emma, or easily tackle the quick 4-minute drive to Chianti Observatory.

After you return, you can unwind by the communal pool or sip a drink in the garden; you may also like the deck or patio and outdoor furniture. For a change of scenery, come inside and try your hand at table tennis, or enjoy the free WiFi and cable/satellite TV.

This 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom rental features a living room, a dining area, a BBQ grill, and a fireplace. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer, a bidet, and towels. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, an electric kettle, and cookware. And there's access to laundry facilities, so you can even pack a bit lighter.
