Tuscany, Italy, Jasmine Harman

Lauren and Jason are looking for a rural holiday home in the stunning Tuscany region of central Italy. For these two, space is key so that their combined family of six children and two grandchildren can all come out and stay. For themselves traditional Italian character and beautiful views are high on the list. But working with a budget of £220,000 will any of the five properties Jasmin Harman has to offer do the job?
