A distinctive feature of many medieval towns that you will come across while staying in one of our Tuscany Villas are remnants or great sections of the ancient walls that once protected these towns. In Lucca, for example, there are still large stretches of these old walls around and throughout the town that not only add to the romantic historic atmosphere but also boast charming walkways, great views, and even more. For those who book a villa in Lucca and particularly those who might be considering travelling during the autumn months, time should definitely be set aside to wander about and explore this incredible feature of this beautiful town.

Among our vacation rentals in Arezzo, Villa Carniani stands out as impossibly pretty and picturesque. Poised gracefully on a hill just outside the historic city of Arezzo, this villa in Tuscany offers peace and quiet, stunning surroundings, amazing amenities, and ready access to the rest of the region. 

Nestled in the heart of Italy, where the lyrical landscape of Tuscany unfolds in a canvas of rolling hills, lies the enchanting Casa Novecento. This remarkable stone villa in Tuscany sits majestically in the centre of the historic gem that is Cortona, offering easy access to everything that the city has to offer in addition to impossibly lovely views over the gorgeous Tuscan countryside. A unique blend of traditional aesthetics and modern comforts, it is one of our most welcoming vacation rentals in Cortona and is one of our listings here on Tuscany Villas that still has great availability for the rest of summer 2023.

Right now, if you head on holiday to stay in one of our amazing villas in Tuscany, especially if you find a vacation rental in the Maremma area or a holiday rental in the Val D’Orcia, you will likely encounter the incredible sight of fields upon fields of golden sunflowers.
