Getting to enjoy a room (or villa) with a view throughout a vacation is always sure to enhance your experience and allow you to really make the most of your surroundings when you are exploring a new place. One of the best selling-points of many of our villas in Tuscany and our luxury villas in Tuscany, in particular (in addition to incredible interiors, wonderful locations in general, gorgeous gardens, excellent amenities, and more), are the views afforded by some of our dreamiest listings.

From direct views out onto the Duomo in Florence to sweeping vistas over the famously lovely rolling green hills and charming little medieval towns of the Tuscan landscape, these properties are made just that little bit more magic and desirable by the views that they offer guests. For the final cherry on top of a dream holiday and the perfect atmosphere for a getaway in Tuscany, read on to some of our most amazing vacation rentals in Tuscany with stunning views…

Dating all the way back to the 14th century and just 15km from Florence, located on a farm and surrounded by 200 hectares of vineyards and olive groves, Villa Cona is a truly dreamy escape and a perfect base from which to enjoy the sights and pleasures of Tuscany. Made up of the original villa and a converted hayloft, this villa in Tuscany with a private pool boasts 10 bedrooms that can accommodate up to twenty guests in total and has incredible amenities and services available to guests. For those looking to plan a memorable Tuscan getaway with a group of friends or the extended family, it is a perfect fit.

Booking an apartment in Tuscany means that you can get closer to the action by being located right in the historic centre of famous towns and cities such as Florence and Cortona or directly overlooking the sea on the Tuscan Coast. For those travelling alone or as a couple or a smaller group it might also be the cosier and often the inexpensive option. Plus, if you’re planning on being out all day exploring and having adventures, rather than wanting to hang out at home by the pool (as you can at one of our villas in Tuscany), then all you need is a comfortable and welcoming place to lay your head at the end of the day. 

Among these properties, however, we have some especially stylish gems, some apartments in gorgeous historic buildings, apartments with truly astounding views, apartments in especially convenient and central locations where you can stroll along to restaurants and bars easily, and more. So, discover our picks of some of the best apartments in Tuscany that you can book with us!
