A classic and elegant Tuscany villa, Villa Agata is a stunning property in a magical location in this lush and lovely part of the world. The villa and its sizeable garden are surrounded by green fields that can turn golden with sunflowers or rolled bales of hay (depending on when you visit), a thicket of trees that affords shelter and privacy, and a backdrop of mountains in Tuscany and the towers and spires of the town of Sant’agata. Located just 2km (1 mile) from this charming town and 34km (21 miles) from Florence, a stay at Villa Agata means a true escape to the peaceful and pretty Tuscan countryside, while being within easy reach of amenities and some of the region’s most appealing tourist attractions and destinations. Boasting a private swimming pool and various other amenities, the property sleeps up to 16 people in five bedrooms, with four bathrooms.

For those who want to experience the birthplace of the Renaissance – the art, architecture, culture, history, charm, and food – with their children, there might be particular questions and considerations that they have, in order for the trip to go smoothly. So, if you are booking a villa in Florence and you are bringing the little ones along, here is the key information that you need to know.

Given the name Villa Belvedere (literally meaning, "Villa of the Nice View"), it should be no surprise that this property may be our listing that boasts the most beautiful views in all of Tuscany. Positioned high up on a hill and surrounded by a 2-hectare park of lawns, trees, and gardens, this property takes in wonderfully-framed, sweeping views over the surrounding landscape. Not only is this landscape itself typical of the lush Arno Valley and the imagined Tuscan countryside – made up of a patchwork of fields, rolling green hills, and winding, cypress-lined roads – but it is charmingly showcased through the branches and between the trees of the villa’s estate. So, those who rent this impossibly picturesque villa in Tuscany will be able to admire fog draping the landscape cinematically in early mornings, the sun dipping behind those famous green hills, and the general splendour of this idyllic part of the world all throughout their vacation in Tuscany.
