Discover The Direct Flights And Book Your Villa In Tuscany

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...

The Parco Benestare is a park in the areas located in, and a collaboration between, the districts of Gambassi Terme (near Florence) and Montaione in Tuscany. It is a unique concept for a new kind of park land that has no strict territorial boundaries and takes in and celebrates the culture, beauty and history of both areas.

Composed of picturesque routes, the park brings visitors on interesting journeys through the Tuscan landscape and allows them to experience its uncommon beauty.

If you are looking to get away from it all, this is just the place! We have plenty of vacation rentals in Gambassi Terme and vacation rentals in Montaione as well as some in nearby towns. Check out our vacation rentals in San Gimignano, Certaldo and Castelfiorentino as well.

Gambassi Terme is a town in Tuscany, located in the south of Florence province, on the border with the province of Siena, which is home to famous thermal baths. Archaeological evidence indicates that the town has been inhabited since the Neolithic Age but it wasn't properly settled until the Etruscans arrived in the seventh century BC. It was later home to the Romans and there is evidence of a castle there in the Middle Ages, going as far back as 1037. Gambassi Castle then became property of the bishopric of Volterra until the end of the twelfth century before a newer castle was built next to the old in the 12th century. Disputes over the ownership of the town led to bloody battles until it finally came under Florentine rule in the 13th century. Only since 1977 has it been called Gambassi “Terme”, an addition to highlight the importance of its natural spas (the “terme”).

Boccaccesca: A Delicious Reason To Book A Villa In Tuscany This Fall

Autumn means harvest season and if you were thinking about an off-season vacation in Tuscany in one of our Tuscany villas then foodies will be glad to know thaat it is also foodie season. During the Fall, Tuscany is not only flooded with all sorts of delicious food products that have been freshly harvested but it abounds with food festivals. While food festivals do take place throughout the entire year, there are endless options to choose from at this time of the year, in particular. One of the larger and most impressive among these has to be Certaldo’s Boccaccesca festival. Named for and held in honour of the famous 14th century writer and beloved son of the town, Boccaccio, this foodie festival has been taking place since 1999 and sees Certaldo Alto taken over for three to four days each October or late September by all sorts of food stalls selling products and snacks, demonstrations, lessons, talks, tastings, and much more besides. So, if you love to eat well and you have been browsing our luxury villas in Florence nearby or our holiday rentals in Certaldo itself, then consider planning a getaway in the area around the 14th to the 16th of October this year or around that general time on any given year to sample the delights of the Boccaccesca festival.

Certaldo Alto is a pretty little medieval town in the Tuscan countryside, perched on a hillside between Florence and Pisa. With old walls, cobbled streets and amazing views over the surrounding scenery, it is a truly beautiful and picturesque place, full of the charm of times gone by. This is only heightened by the presence of the Certaldo Funicular, a funicular railway that links Certaldo Basso to Certaldo Alto, the older and newer parts of the town. Along the way, it offers excellent views over the new town and the surrounding area.

Many of our Villa Spotlight articles have focused on the big and beautiful villas in our collection, fit more for large groups or events. Today we are focusing on a small, lovely and affordable villa that is a perfect fit for a couple traveling through Tuscany. Poggetto di Montese is just outside of San Gimignano, in fact from the gardens you can see the towers that helped make the city so famous!

Poggetto di Montese, like some of our other villas, is surrounded by expansive olive groves and vineyards.

The grounds around the house have a gorgeous and well kept garden that provides a pleasant place to spend your evenings, sitting on the patio under the pergola sipping wine. The house itself is a typical country house made of stone, and restored for modern luxuries.

"The location is wonderful, centrally located for Sienna, Florence, the Chianti region, etc, and only minutes away from San Gimignano. The view from the property's garden of the latter and the surrounding countryside is unbeatable. The family who own it are friendly (even their dog) and give their guests as much privacy as needed."

Good 3^/5 Villa Review Rating Details

Comfortable villa in a beautiful setting, albeit rather a long and bumpy trip from the main road.
The house itself was comfortable and roomy enough for the seven of us who stayed there.

We felt the kitchen could have been better equipped. There were two very small coffee machines , totally inadequate for seven. There were no salad serves or sufficient kitchen utensils. We bought a spatula as there wasn’t one. We complained about the dishwasher we couldn’t get it to work but we’re told it was an industrial one as guests broke domestic dishwashers. We had to ask for tea towels.

We thought there would be a change of linen and towels during our two week stay but there wasn’t. Pool towels were charged at 4 euros each. We ended up buying our own rather than pay that. It would have beeen helpful if it had been pointed out that pool towels were not included.

Outside the pool was well maintained and the garden delightful. However the pool furniture was ofpoor quality and dilapidated. Some sun beds were unusable. The sun umbrellas were very difficult to put up as one had to be extreme till to reach the mechanism.

Reception was chaotic at best. On our first evening we were asked if we wanted dinner in the restaurant and we said yes. When we turned up there was a wedding going on and no one around interestedi infeeding us! The following week we attended a buffet dinner in the complex. The food was served on plastic plates with plastic cutlery. The food was ok but completely marred by this. Bottles of wine and soft drinks were left on a table but there was no price list and we were unsure if drinks were included in the cost of 25 euros or not. The whole event was shambolic.
