Bookended by the olive groves, cypress trees and rolling green hills of Southern Tuscany is this 1960s-style architectural feat designed and curated by a sculptor and architect duo. Perfect for two couples or a small group of friends looking to explore the region, this cleverly converted warehouse is airy and open-plan with large crittall-style windows looking out over the vineyard and rambling countryside beyond. We particularly liked the stone fireplace and curated pieces of art dotted around that make for a real visual statement. Through to the bedrooms, where you'll find minimalist interiors, crisp white bed linens and antique objects that combines traditional touches with modern influence. Spend mornings idly relaxing underneath the warm Tuscan sun by the stunning 20-metre lap pool or recharging in the sauna, before cycling to the nearby village of Montisi. Take a half-hour drive to the famous vineyards of Montepulciano and bring a few bottles of vino back with you – to be chilled in the home's wine cellar and enjoyed out on the terrace, as you look out across the medieval ruins of Montelifrè Castle. Be it wine, history, interior design, or art, this home delivers in spades.
