What makes a villa in Tuscany stand out? Location is key, as we all know. A beautiful property with a pretty view is always a bonus. A villa with a pool in Tuscany is ideal for summer months and the more amenities a property has to offer the better. However, some of the best things about a villa are not necessarily visible in a property description. If the owner is especially helpful, if there are great services that add to your experience, if the neighbourhood is quiet or there are useful facilities and amenities nearby... there are often some things that only those who have already stayed in a vacation rental in Tuscany can really explain to you. 

The charming Casa di Vignolo is a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom historic villa in the pretty town of Pergine Valdarno that sleeps up to six guests in total. Full of charm and giving total access to this sweet town and its amenities as well as pretty views over the town square, the villa is also ideally located for day trips to Arezzo, Siena, Florence, and more. Don’t just take our word for it however, as it is a property that has plenty of villa reviews from previous guests outlining exactly what sets it apart...

If you have been dreaming of a group getaway in the most perfect of elegant Tuscan settings then we have a current favourite villa to share with you! Villa Pianoia is a picture-perfect historic luxury villa in Tuscany that has been recently renovated and boasts both stunning grounds and interiors. Sleeping up to 16 guests in 7 bedrooms with 9 bathrooms, this spacious and atmospheric gem provides a perfect space for an extended family or a group of friends to make unforgettable memories together on a vacation in Tuscany. 

We often remark on the less-celebrated wonder that is the Tuscan Coast. The northern stretch merges with Liguria, renowned world-wide for its beloved coastal area, the Cinque Terre, so why then do fewer travellers think of a holiday rental on the Tuscan Coast when planning an Italian escape by the sea? 

Perhaps it is simply that the cultural wonders, heavy-hitter tourist attractions, and the iconic rolling green hills of the Tuscan countryside are too impressive that they overshadow some of the other, equally delightful traits of the region. However, we always say that Tuscany is about much more than the well-trodden narratives. There is an endless list of wonders, hidden gems, and obvious but less talked about delights to discover in the region!
