Advertising This website sustains itself using affiliate based revenues (every time a user clicks on an advertisement that opens a new window, a small revenue will be received by Tuscany Villas). Using this mechanism it is possible to create this website, with lots of interesting information, and generate a self-supporting fee for future enhancements and initiatives. The advertising mechanisms in place will attempt to match the adverts as closely as possible to the content found on the page, translating as advertisements relevant to your reading. How to Identify Advertisements
Advertisements, in the form of banners and text links, can be identified on this website as they open in a new browser window. Please note that Tuscany Villas cannot be held responsible for the content of the websites that are linked to via these advertisements as it is not possible at this time to control exactly the type of site that will be displayed on a webpage (although basic controls are in place by the advertising providers network to ensure a high level of advertising relevancy, and safeguard against adult sites being displayed).
Tuscany Villas uses third-party advertising companies to serve advertisements dynamically when visiting its website. These companies may use information (not including your name, address, email address or telephone number) about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.

Endorsements and Recommendations This guide is personal, it's a chance to share the writer's love and life in Tuscany with readers with the aim to inform and provide insights for holidaymakers coming to Tuscany. In all cases where content has been writeen, it is based on personal experience. Here are the exceptions Hotels - We have selected one of Italy's biggest hotel reservation and booking services, based on a review of those present in the marketplace. We have found they offer good competitive prices, and they are based in Italy, which means that they have an extensive inventory, and provides us some degree of recourse in the event that we receive any negative feedback from our users. For clarity however the "Hotels" section on this website is in no way endorsed by Tuscany Villas. The section features hotel pictures and descriptive copy as supplied by a third-party. Therefore a hotel's description has not been written by Tuscany Villas. Accordingly, Tuscany Villas can therefore not be held responsible or liable for any problems experienced through this provider. However, in the case that you do experience a problem, please contact us so we can consider appropriate steps for the future. To date the service has been running without problems for over 8 years.
