vineyard in Tuscany
Tuscany is a stunning region in Italy that can be best explored by renting a car to go delve into the spots that lie off the beaten tourist track. Most towns and villages can also be reached by bus but many operate perhaps three times a week or less from bigger towns and cities which might not be convenient for holiday makers who want to see as much of this picturesque region as possible.

Choose from a wide range of villas in Tuscany and book a place to stay along your chosen route of exploration by car.

Most of our best holiday villas are located in the countryside, so, if you have a car, it will be easier for you to reach your accommodation and to go to the shop or to the restaurant during your stay.
If you rent a car, you can travel at your ease along the intricate network of small winding roads that lead into welcoming Tuscan communes. Generally in most towns and villages of Tuscany, the speed limit is around 50 kilometres per hour entering and 70 kilometres per hour leaving.     Read More
