Set within a 119-hectare private estate among the rolling green hills of Tuscany, with cypress trees, olive groves, fields, vineyards, winding roads, and more all around, Castello di Cabbiavoli is a dream experience of historic luxury in Tuscany. Enjoy complete privacy and breath-taking panoramic views over the evocative surrounding countryside, a beautifully manicured garden with lovely areas to dine al fresco, a stunning private pool, and wonderfully restored interiors. Sleeping up to twelve guests in six bedrooms, with seven bathrooms, this unique gem is the perfect base for a truly unforgettable stay in a luxury villa in Tuscany.

One of the best things about Tuscany as a destination is that it boasts a varied and beautiful landscape. Those who book a villa in Tuscany, therefore, will often find that alongside savouring incredible meals and local wines, ticking major attractions off their bucket lists like the Leaning Tower of Pisa, experiencing astounding works of art and architectural gems like Michelangelo's David and Florence's Duomo, and relaxing like a local, simply soaking up the beauty all around is what makes a vacation here so magical! Better still, many of our holiday rentals in Tuscany offer guests perfectly framed views that they can enjoy all throughout their stay – when you open your bedroom window in the morning, as you dine al fresco in the garden, when you're lounging by the pool, while sipping wine during sunset on the terrace, and more. 

In order to help you find a truly magical property with picture-perfect scenery, we've put together a list of some of our most incredible examples of vacation rentals in Tuscany with amazing views...

With spacious, yet warm and welcoming typically Tuscan interiors, a beautiful garden full of blooms, a private swimming pool and hot tub, and panoramic views over the lush Tuscan countryside, Torre del Cielo,  5km from the centre of Monterchi, has long been one of our most popular luxury villas in Tuscany.

Sleeping up to ten guests in five bedrooms, with five bathrooms, what sets this property apart is the incredible extra services offered by the attentive owners. Included in the basic rental cost is a welcome buffet on arrival, a tour of the area, and a wine tasting in the cellar of the property for guests but meals being prepared in-house for you by an experienced local chef, maid services, and other extras can also be arranged. Additionally, you'll always have someone close at hand to answer questions you might have or provide aid. 

Guests regularly note that the beauty of this large property and the hospitality of the owners are the major appeals of Torre del Cielo, which is why some are repeat guests already and others are planning to return in the future but don’t just take it from us, this is what guests have to say about this stunning gem, which has just one week remaining in June for summer 2026 but could be booked in advance for your next perfect group vacation in Tuscany...
