Podere Valcellino

Have you been dreaming about a vacation in Tuscany? Well, now is a perfect time to plan a trip as many new direct flights to the region have been added!

Traditionally, many choosing to holiday in the area had to fly into Bologna but Pisa and Florence are actually the two major international airports within the region itself and might be more convenient arrival points depending on where you will be staying. Thankfully, however, there are increasingly more and more direct routes opening to these two regional airports so if you want to plan a trip, you’ll have more options available to you. Book your villa in Tuscany and you’ll be able to easily organise your arrival thanks to these new direct flights...

As summer winds down, lots of our customers are now leaving reviews of their stays in some of Tuscany Villas' best properties. Guest reviews are the best way to really get a sense of what a stay in a villa is like so we always recommend that those browsing for a vacation rental in Tuscany on our website check these out to help guide their search for their dream vacation. We always want to ensure that our customers have brilliant experiences so check out some recent glowing reviews from guests who have just gotten back from a perfect holiday in Tuscany and plan your own ideal getaway...

Raymond C. from Floral Park (United States) who stayed in Villa Alessandra Alla Poggetta in August 2023:

“What a beautiful property and house. We were welcomed by Lucia and the owner of the property upon arrival. This property exceeded our expectations. It was well maintained and the owner stopped by every morning to make sure the flowers were watered and the pool was cleaned. We had use of the beautiful pizza oven and had a chef prepared meal that was fantastic. The property was located close to a train station that brought us to Florence in 37 minutes. All the bedrooms were air conditioned, which we only had to use one night. Best vacation ever- will be back soon.”

Given the name Villa Belvedere (literally meaning, "Villa of the Nice View"), it should be no surprise that this property may be our listing that boasts the most beautiful views in all of Tuscany. Positioned high up on a hill and surrounded by a 2-hectare park of lawns, trees, and gardens, this property takes in wonderfully-framed, sweeping views over the surrounding landscape. Not only is this landscape itself typical of the lush Arno Valley and the imagined Tuscan countryside – made up of a patchwork of fields, rolling green hills, and winding, cypress-lined roads – but it is charmingly showcased through the branches and between the trees of the villa’s estate. So, those who rent this impossibly picturesque villa in Tuscany will be able to admire fog draping the landscape cinematically in early mornings, the sun dipping behind those famous green hills, and the general splendour of this idyllic part of the world all throughout their vacation in Tuscany.
