Booking an apartment in Tuscany means that you can get closer to the action by being located right in the historic centre of famous towns and cities such as Florence and Cortona or directly overlooking the sea on the Tuscan Coast. For those travelling alone or as a couple or a smaller group it might also be the cosier and often the inexpensive option. Plus, if you’re planning on being out all day exploring and having adventures, rather than wanting to hang out at home by the pool (as you can at one of our villas in Tuscany), then all you need is a comfortable and welcoming place to lay your head at the end of the day. 

Among these properties, however, we have some especially stylish gems, some apartments in gorgeous historic buildings, apartments with truly astounding views, apartments in especially convenient and central locations where you can stroll along to restaurants and bars easily, and more. So, discover our picks of some of the best apartments in Tuscany that you can book with us!

Oasi Di Benessere Bio is perched on a hill, 4km from the centre of Sassofortino, a tiny medieval hilltop village with a population of under a thousand, in the comune of Roccastrada, in the province of Grosseto. Boasting sweeping panoramic villas over the surrounding area - the rolling green hills and valleys for which Tuscany is so well-known, vineyards, olive groves, a patchwork of fields, and mountains in the distance – but a location that is just a short drive from nearby conveniences and incredible amenities and facilities, it is the ideal place to get away from it all in style and comfort. Leave the stresses and worries of daily life far behind but not all of civilisation: be able to readily head out and explore the wider region, and have the most stunning base to return to every day at the magical Oasi Di Benessere Bio.

Carefully renovated in 2020, this stunning historic villa is pretty as a picture, with a charming Tuscan appearance featuring a terracotta roof, green shutters framing the windows and doors, balconies, neatly manicured gardens framing the house, elegant interiors, and a porch that offers amazing panoramic views over the beloved Tuscan landscape.
