If you have always wanted to go on holidays to Tuscany, then you are probably considering booking a villa in Tuscany. Villa rentals are the most popular option for those dreaming of a Tuscan getaway and for good reason, you can experience the unique style and pleasures of a Tuscan villa and Tuscan life and enjoy the luxuries of a holiday, all while having your own space and some of the home comforts that might be missing from a stay in a hotel. Many of our Tuscan villas boast private pools, wonderful views, pretty gardens, elegant interiors, and lots of other incredible amenities and extras from maid services to cooking classes to wine tastings. Depending on what you are looking for in a vacation in Tuscany, there are different features that may be more or less important to you such as air-conditioning, proximity to a town or a particular town or city, WIFI, etc and if you browse our properties, you are sure to find the right vacation rental in Tuscany for you. However, if you are not sure where to start, then read on for our tips about what to look for and consider when booking your holiday villa in Tuscany.
1. Location, location, location.
This is the first and most obvious thing to consider. Do you want peace and quiet and to get away from it all? Or is there a particular town or city that you are interested in visiting? Do you want to be near it or inside it? Do you want to explore the wider region of Tuscany? Will you be renting a car and driving? Are you comfortable driving abroad? Do you want to have to try and navigate public transport abroad?
If you are interested in a city like Pisa or Florence or a larger town and want to stay put, you can probably get by without a car or rely on buses. However, if you want to get out into a more rural setting for a real break from reality or if you are interested in exploring Tuscany then a car is kind of unavoidable. Public transport does exist but it can be a headache for tourists and in more remote places it will be infrequent. When picking your destination, you need to keep all of this in mind because not having a driver in the group will make some locations pretty hard, if not impossible, to manage. Bigger urban destinations, however, can still be done if you don’t plan on renting a car.

4. Keep your budget in mind.
Renting a villa means that you can cook your own meals and stock up on snacks, drinks, wine, and more, which will help cut down on costs considerably if you’re looking to stretch your budget. However, in addition to this, you will have transport, heating, electricity and other potential costs to keep in mind. If you’re worried about how it all might add up, then be sure to use our price filters of the cost per night to set a minimum and maximum budget to ensure you don’t fall in love with a villa outside your price range. You can also use our Instant Quote feature to figure out how much your trip will cost for the period of time that you are interested in and given that prices can vary at different times of the year. All of these features will help you stay on budget so that you have more money for planning fun outings during your holiday in Tuscany.
