Villa Sereno in the Val d’Orcia is a masterclass in Tuscan country elegance. The 12-metre pool, private vineyard and olive grove create a truly immersive countryside experience. The wine tasting room is a highlight, and the gazebo for outdoor dining under the stars is magical.
The villa comfortably hosts large groups, though the remote location means a car is essential. The staff arranged a cooking class in the farmhouse kitchen which was excellent value.
