The region of Tuscany has a diverse assortment of natural splendors, from mountain ranges, Alpine lakes and hills, to vineyards, pine forests, and cliff bordered coasts. There is so much to see and do, and staying in a villa in Tuscany is easily one of the best ways to experience the country.

Tuscan villas were first built during the Roman occupation and were used as upper-class country houses. Since then, they have undergone many changes throughout history. After the fall of the Roman empire, the houses were converted into farming estates and sometimes taken over as monasteries. During the Middle Ages, the villas were once again transformed into fashionable upper-class homes. Finally, they became country vacation homes and remain so today.

Modern day villas vary considerably, ranging from suburban semi-detached homes to properties located in semi-urban woodland. Residences can be anything from grand buildings designed to house large groups to small and cozy accommodations for couples and small families.

Renting a villa in Tuscany is ideal for those looking to take a relaxing break in Italy with stunning views of the landscape of their choice. Some villas are even built into the cliffs surrounding the coastline, providing visitors with a gorgeous outlook on the sea below.
