Dating back to the 18th century, Villa Marlia is an impossibly dreamy stone villa in the Tuscan countryside that is the epitome of what many think of when they imagine the perfect escape in Tuscany.

Sleeping up to 18 guests comfortably in eight bedrooms with eight bathrooms, it is a truly magical luxury villa with pool in Tuscany the ideal base from which to enjoy and explore Tuscany if you are travelling in a larger group and want to do so in serious luxury and cinematic style.

If you are looking forward to the blooming of spring and a great vacation in Tuscany then you should probably consider booking one of our villas with pools in Lucca for this March and heading to Capannori, a town and commune in the province of Lucca that is known as the Village of Camellias. Already an exceptionally charming town of winding lanes, pretty little squares, and gorgeous local houses, it is made lovelier still each year in March and October, when it goes into full bloom...

All through the villages of Pieve and Sant'Andrea di Compito and right across the valley in which Capannori is located, there are camellia trees that explode into thousands of blooms each spring, adding colour and wonder to this corner of the lush Tuscan landscape. The entire area is transformed into one large garden and hosts a rich and diverse calendar of special events for locals and visitors to the area to enjoy each year for the duration of the Antiche Camelie della Lucchesia exhibition. Find your vacation rental in Lucca and come join in on all of the fun and experience the incredible beauty of this special event for yourself!

From direct views out onto the Duomo in Florence to sweeping vistas over the famously lovely rolling green hills and charming little medieval towns of the Tuscan landscape, these properties are made just that little bit more magic and desirable by the views that they offer guests. For the final cherry on top of a dream holiday and the perfect atmosphere for a getaway in Tuscany, read on to some of our most amazing vacation rentals in Tuscany with stunning views…

Booking an apartment in Tuscany means that you can get closer to the action by being located right in the historic centre of famous towns and cities such as Florence and Cortona or directly overlooking the sea on the Tuscan Coast. For those travelling alone or as a couple or a smaller group it might also be the cosier and often the inexpensive option. Plus, if you’re planning on being out all day exploring and having adventures, rather than wanting to hang out at home by the pool (as you can at one of our villas in Tuscany), then all you need is a comfortable and welcoming place to lay your head at the end of the day. 

Among these properties, however, we have some especially stylish gems, some apartments in gorgeous historic buildings, apartments with truly astounding views, apartments in especially convenient and central locations where you can stroll along to restaurants and bars easily, and more. So, discover our picks of some of the best apartments in Tuscany that you can book with us!
