Introduction
Many people dream of a vacation in Tuscany. Why? Because Tuscany is a place of stupendous landscapes, lovely towns and splendid cities of art; an inestimable heritage, the story of which is told by its artistic and cultural treasures, its enchanting spots and the tastes and fragrances of its ancient eno-gastronomic traditions that are the basis of real Mediterranean cooking.
Powerful moments are not to be sought only when admiring this region’s wondrous monuments, but also in its extraordinary daily and seasonal rhythms that are the foundation of well-being and relaxation. The peace and harmony of Tuscany’s undulating landscape seems to act as a restorative balm, even more effective when mixed with the marvelous hospitality of its people.
And who can help you realize your dream, if not someone who was born and raised in this region, someone who is forever in search of new breathtaking, fascinating hidden corners of its impressive territory?
Because Tuscany, cradle of the Renaissance, is ready to unveil its treasures to anyone desirous of discovering its jewels or of taking in its panoramic scenery; a landscape which renews itself at every bend, with every new hill, with every frilled border of cypress trees along roads that appear painted by the hand of Giotto or Leonardo, earth and sky melding together above tiny valleys jealously holding back their morning mist.
Great Homes
Each year dozens of villas await our approval. After initially screening each applicant, our final selection is reserved for only a few new entries. Because our criteria are very strict. We chose only those properties that give us a real sense of WOW! The home’s panoramic view and geographic position, its interior and gardens, its equipment and special features, together with the local history and possibility to visit sites of interest are just some of the factors that make TuscanyItaly’s vacation rental properties unique.
In many instances the homes we showcase are residences which have been lovingly restored as second homes, their owners having paid special attention to details, quality and taste rather than to cost.
Whether they are large ancient castles or charming farmhouses, our vacation rental properties are always chosen for their elegance, comfort, charm and personality. Guests are able to appreciate the pleasures of the past while enjoying the comforts of modern amenities, and can always be sure to find a swimming pool, a well-equipped modern kitchen, a home entertainment system and Internet wherever accessible.
We also stipulate that the property lie in an area offering various points of interest and activities.
The villas’ owners are often producers of top-quality, or even world-renown, agrarian products such as wine, olive oil and cheese. Some villas offer tastings and tours of the production facilities, or even make their on-site vegetable gardens available to clients; in such cases, the Tuscan Mums can prepare meals at your villa using the farm’s own products – meals that have nothing to envy of dishes prepared by famous chefs.
Each property is regularly visited by a member of our staff to insure that standards are being maintained and to protect clients from unpleasant surprises. Regular visits are normal procedure for us seeing that we work directly with the owners without dealing with intermediaries. We make sure that your hosts are always ready to welcome you, acting like old friends respectful of your privacy, but also assisting you if, and when, necessary.

However, we of TuscanyItaly offer something more and different, that is, the possibility of a truly authentic and unique experience, based on our collective knowledge which we make readily available to you.

Holiday Advisors:
Our vacation consultants are all travelers sensitive to the needs and high expectations of a certain type of traveler. They personally know the vacation homes and are experts at suggesting the properties that can best satisfy the needs of each prospective group. We normally offer a choice of available homes for the requested period, giving an explanation of why we have suggested certain villas, but letting you choose the property you judge most suitable.
Our vacation consultants work together with you not only in the choice of your villa, but also in drawing up itineraries suitable for your needs and preferences. Coming to Tuscany you will likely be interested in visiting some of the more famous cities like Florence, Siena or San Gimignano. Nevertheless, we will also suggest small hamlets, ancient mills and restored medieval churches where you can discover the pleasure of enjoying timeless masterpieces of art and architecture without having to navigate through hordes of tourists.
We supply travel materials providing you information about your rental property, how to reach it, services provided and nearby shops etc… In addition, we also provide information about nearby restaurants, wine cellars and places not to be missed – tips that only a local guide can offer.
Constant research
Despite the fact that we know our homeland like the palm of our hand, we are always searching, season after season, for new places, sensations and experiences to share with our clients. Furthermore, we are committed to regularly checking that the information we pass on is accurate.
We’ll send you down the same paths we’ve explored, places where even from the seat of your car you can enjoy the sight of hills crowned by towers and battlements. Here the asphalt does not divide, but rather connects, gently following the area’s geography; roads are often hidden beneath the shade of plane trees and behind boxwood hedges.
Excellent Service
Fully knowing that your time is precious, we go out of our way to insure that the planning of your vacation is hassle-free.
From the onset, our vacation consultants will be available to help you chose the property that best suits your tastes. Then, after determining your preferences and needs, we will prepare a travel package rich with itineraries and activities for the area you have chosen, always keeping in mind any specific requests you have made.
Once you have reached the villa, you will never feel abandoned. Mainly, because the owners will be available for anything you need; in addition, our Tuscan team will also be there to offer support whenever you wish.
