Casa Reasco 8, Roccastrada, Grosseto and Maremma

If you enjoy a break in the countryside but like to feel connected too, this three-storey town house could be just what you’re looking for. Set on the main square in the pretty medieval village of Torniella, Casa Reasco will put you at the heart of local life, just a few strides away from a shop, restaurant and bar, where you can pull up a chair with a cappuccino or a glass of wine and watch the world go by. And when you fancy picking up the pace, you’ll be within easy reach of the bustling streets of Siena, Colle di Val d’Elsa and Grosseto. A rustic charmer, this semi-detached villa tips its hat at country cottage style and oozes history, from its exposed stone walls to its herringbone terracotta tiled floors. The two kitchen-diners offer room for a party of 10 to play with, while bedrooms are neatly staggered across the floors for a little added privacy. Although you’re located at the centre of a village, there’s a sizeable back garden with a small yet perfect pool for cooling off in the heat of the day.
