Casa Farfalla is already a luxury villa in Tuscany that we love to recommend and to share as it boasts incredible views from its panoramic location over the surrounding rolling green hills of the Tuscan countryside and the famous town of Lucca as well as incredibly chic and sleek modern interiors. For those who care about design and love art, it is a perfect place to stay but it has also contributed to, and inspired, the world of design in its own right…

Inspired by the shutters of the villa, the owners (artists, architects, and interior designers Michel and Donia Boucquillon) were invited by the beloved and well-known coffee and homeware brand ALESSI to create a collection for the company based on this striking design. 

Our luxury villas in Tuscany are so defined by having certain attributes – a beautiful house with impressive grounds, excellent amenities, and great views and/or an amazing setting. There are variations, of course, but these are the basic ingredients and elements that Podere D’Asso has in spades! Set in the rolling green hills of Tuscany, among cypresses, olive groves, and vineyards, this gem of a property is in the most pastoral spot and is perfect for those who are looking to leave daily life far behind and well and truly get away from it all.

If you have been dreaming of waking up to the most remarkable postcard-perfect views of the famous rolling green hills of Tuscany but you also want to be able to easily access Florence and other famous destinations in Tuscany, then look no further than the astounding Cottage Colle Di Sotto. This converted historic building was once a hayloft but is now a private cottage with a swimming pool that boasts truly extraordinary views of the Tuscan countryside. Utterly idyllic, with pretty and rustic interiors as well as all of the mod-cons that you could ask for, this gem has everything! With some availability for June and August still – but booking up fast – this dream villa is the ideal place for your summer 2024 vacation in Tuscany. 

Located in the Tuscan hills near Montelupo Fiorentino and Florence, just 5km from Montelupo Fiorentino (where you’ll find shops and other amenities that you might need), 8km from the town of Empoli, 21km from Da Vinci’s hometown of Vinci and within easy day-trip distance of San Gimignano, Lucca, Pisa, the Tuscan Coast, and Siena, you will find that a stay at Cottage Colle Di Sotto will leave you able to well and truly make the most of your time on holiday in Tuscany. 

Tuscany has so much to offer even the most discerning of tourists that it is no surprise that it remains one of the most popular and beloved tourist destinations in Italy and in Europe.

There is, of course, the delicious cuisine as well as the amazing wines of the region, the stunning rolling green hills and pretty historic towns that make up the landscape, the impossibly fascinating culture capitals that are the cities, the spa towns with their natural hot springs, and much more besides to discover during a getaway in this part of the world. 

However, today we are specifically thinking about the appeals of booking a villa on the Tuscan Coast.

Tuscany is well-known for her beautiful landscape of rolling green hills, winding roads lined by cypress trees, vineyards, and pretty historic villages. The lush and charming countryside of the region is an utterly bucolic place that is perfect for those looking to slow things down, relax, and truly get away from it all with the ones that you love the most to spend some quality time unwinding and making special memories. If this is the kind if holiday that you are dreaming of, then the traditional but well-equipped Casale Belfiore is the ideal villa in Tuscany for you. Not only is it in a dreamy location with postcard-like vistas all around the home but it is a pretty and very Tuscan gem of a villa that also happens to have all of the mod-cons and amenities that you could need for your comfort and convenience throughout your stay!
