It can be hard to land on just one vacation destination in Tuscany when it has so much to offer and has a more varied landscape than many might imagine. From seaside breaks to cosmopolitan getaways to rural retreats, there are all sorts of holidays to be had... and some locations that allow you to enjoy a little bit of everything! So, if you’re trying to decide on where you should base yourself in Tuscany we have put together a handy guide to help you out so that you can find the ideal villa in Tuscany for your tastes and needs...

While hotels offer plenty of conveniences, we think there are lots of great reasons to book a villa in Tuscany instead!

When it comes to Tuscany, in particular, those who book a villa in Tuscany will be able to get more of a taste of the Tuscan lifestyle and will often get to enjoy living in romantic and typically Tuscan spaces for a little while – something you won't get in most hotels!

Of course, there are also some practical differences between a villa and a hotel stay. 

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.

While many of our incredible villas in Tuscany boast astounding views over the famous rolling green hills and verdant valleys of the region, some of our villas on the Tuscan Coast offer scenic seaside views instead. Among these, Villa Fior di Roccia has perhaps the most remarkable sweeping coastal panorama and stunning outdoor spaces from which to enjoy them. In addition, many of the bedrooms and other rooms in the house give guests beautifully framed vistas or peeps across the bay as you go about your daily life. So, if you want to enjoy a Tuscan getaway but also really want to make the most of a seaside break, this is the perfect base, set in an elevated position just 200m from the water, and can accommodate up to eight guests comfortably in four bedrooms with four bathrooms.

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.
