Torre Del Cielo
When you're looking for anything – somewhere good to eat, a nice bar, a fun activity, a quiet beach – we tend to search for reviews nowadays. Hearing what real people have to say about something helps give us peace of mind and these reviews are even more important to consider when booking a holiday rental. Luckily, here at Tuscany Villas, we have been blessed with lots of customers who give us great feedback. Therefore, we thought that it would be a good idea to put together a list of our most-reviewed properties to show some of the excellent villas and experiences you can expect when you book with us!

Rock Climbing
We here, at Tuscany Villas, are keen to find attractions and activities for you to enjoy in Tuscany that are a little off the beaten track. We want to show you various sides of this beautiful region, often sides tourists never see, and offer you a wide variety of things to see and do. Hit up the must-see spots and iconic attractions, of course, but if you are looking for something a little different as well, we've got you covered. Recently, we discussed surfing (and how surprisingly good it is) in Tuscany but that is not the only excellent outdoor pursuit that the region facilitates perfectly; there are also brilliant rock climbing facilities throughout Tuscany.

The landscape of Tuscany is beautiful and varied, with lots of rolling hills, medieval hill towns and craggy cliffs that offer a wide range of rock climbing, from single pitch sport routes to long multi-pitch routes across a wide range of grades.     Read More

Barack Obama
This past week, Tuscany has welcomed some rather high-profile tourists; Barack and Michelle Obama, who arrived in Tuscany last Friday for a six-day holiday at a luxury Tuscan estate. The former President of the United States of America and his wife stayed in a luxury resort called Borgo Finocchieto, a town located to the south of Siena, that was bought by a US ambassador in 2001.

The village is made up of a grand manor house with 22 suites and several villas all arranged around a central piazza, boasting facilities such as a 60ft-long oval swimming pool, a library, tennis court, wine-tasting room, cellar and basketball court. More than 800 years old, the village offers views across the surrounding hills and valleys and is located on the route of the Via Francigena, the ancient pilgrimage route that connected Canterbury to Rome.     Read More

For the duration of your holiday, you can indulge in the experience of living in the kind of perfectly designed super homes that so few of us actually ever manage to obtain. Here are just some of our wonderful vacation rentals in Tuscany with incredible interiors that would be ideal for vicarious dwelling.
