Things to Do and See in Tuscany

For those dreaming of the true elegance of a Tuscan escape and impossibly picturesque postcard-perfect scenery all around, Villa Il Colto is an ideal location. This newly listed vacation rental in Tuscany is perched on a hill that was once home to a rich patrician abode in the time of the Ancient Romans and continues to play host to a stunning countryside getaway to this day. The current iteration of this Arcadian gem, due to its hilltop location, is thought to have been a look out tower for a nearby castle before being transformed into a family villa that was once owned by the famous Medici family. So, not only is this beauty positioned among the most magical Tuscan surroundings but it is also steeped in local history and tradition.

Dreaming of a perfect trip to unwind in the Tuscan countryside? Want to wake to the famous rolling green hills of the region? To swim in a pool, soak in a hot tub, and relax in a sauna between days of exploring the famous attractions of the region? To savour long lazy meals and incredible glasses of Chianti al fresco? Then our rental, Villa L'elsa Beautiful Country Home With View is a perfect fit for a relaxing vacation rental in Tuscany! Sleeping up to 14 people comfortably in seven bedrooms with six bathrooms in a spacious house with traditional style in addition to all of the mod-cons and amenities that you could ask for, it has everything you could need to plan a dream escape in Tuscany...

Mattei Villa is one of our Exclusive Italian Villas Club listings and is a stunning, typically Tuscan stone villa with a terracotta roof, surrounded by the lush greenery of the famously pastoral Tuscan countryside. Located in San Casciano In Val Di Pesa, in the heart of Tuscany's Chianti region, the villa offers expansive views over olive groves, vineyards, woods, and country estates and is ideally positioned for both enjoying a peaceful escape in Tuscany and easy access to many of the region's most famous destinations and attractions. Sleeping 12 guests (plus a potential 4 additional guests) in six bedrooms, with six bathrooms, Mattei Villa boasts lovely grounds, a wonderful private pool, charming and cosy interiors, and all of the mod-cons you could need of a luxury villa in Tuscany!

For classical music enthusiasts or anyone who loves including a more whimsical and romantic outing in their travel itinerary there is yet another great reason to book a vacation rental in the Val D’Orcia: to attend one of the utterly magical concerts of the Paesaggi Musicali Toscani. This series is, without a doubt, one of the major musical and artistic highlights of the cultural calendar in Tuscany and an incredibly special way for anyone to experience this lovely part of the world.

The famously breath-taking rolling hills and lush fields of Tuscany are arguably at their most stunning in the UNESCO-awarded landscape of the Val D’Orcia. This is where the scenery truly sings in its beauty and makes for a rather romantic and evocative backdrop for this series of incredible concerts in Tuscany throughout the summer (and up to Christmas).
