Other Things to Note:
One of our favourite villas in Tuscany, Villa Ann is a special place to stay, made even more special thanks to its wonderful owner. Alessandro invests in the property year on year ensuring it continues to exceed all our guests expectations. It's a rare find, representing the very best elements of a traditional Tuscan farmhouse but with all the creature comforts of the 21st century. Our favourite spot to sit and relax is at the pool or on the comfortable outdoor sofas on the covered terrace.
