Villa Galletto
Style Dolce vita villas
Setting Sunflower-studded Tuscan fields
This is the smaller of two boutique Tuscan villas near Siena and Florence which are sister to super-stylish Fontelunga and provide self-catering at its sexiest: contemporary, but distinctly rustic and Italian, incorporating sophisticated design. The sister hotel ( two minutes’ drive away) provides a full concierge service.
