Rest your espresso on the garden's stone-wall and watch as the morning mist moves from the Tuscan hilltops to the valley below. When the sun rises, greet the day with a farmer's breakfast made with fresh produce from the local market. For lunch, try your hand at traditional Tuscan pizza in the oven outside. Then, treat yourself to dinner in Siena at one Gordon Ramsey's most celebrated restaurants.

Exist in solitude, a quarter-mile from the hilltown of Mensano, amongst lush gardens and Tuscan forest. Gaze upon sweeping views stretching from the southern vineyards to the bell towers of Radicondoli. Follow archways inside to feel the ancient authenticity of the groin-vaulted brick ceilings, intricate stone walls, and exposed beams. Then, finish off the picture by lighting a fire in the stone fireplace.

If you've decided to stay connected, Escaiole is outfitted with Smart TV and Wi-Fi. Daily housekeeping and a concierge service are also included. On hot afternoons, work on your vacation tan while the kids play in the pool. When it cools down at night, slide into the hot tub for a rejuvenating soak. And, if you're craving a late-night snack, fire up the barbecue and dine beneath the stars.

Tuscany is perfect for wine and wine lovers, especially in the hilltop village of Montalcino. Book yourself a tour on the Brunello di Montalcino estate, one of the world's most famous vineyards. Since you're already indulging in Italy's finer exports, make your way to San Giovanni d'Asso's Truffle Museum, set within the cellars of a 14th-century castle.
