Welcome back to our Villa Spotlight, where we find a great vacation rental in Tuscany out of the thousands we have in our catalog and give it the extra attention it deserves. Today we are looking at Florence, an epicenter of the Renaissance, former seat of power for the Medici family and the capital of the Kingdom of Italy for a time as well. If you are traveling to Italy for its museums, unbelievable architecture and a feel of its day to day city life, Florence is your destination.

"The property was impeccable and was located exactly as described in the listing. Everything of interest in Florence was within walking distance. The owner was gracious and punctual and a pleasure to deal with."
-Patrick from Quebec

The apartment we are looking at today is Vicolo Del Canneto, a second floor apartment located in a historic building in the city center. This one bedroom, one bathroom apartment is perfect for a couple traveling to Tuscany but it can accommodate up to four people with a sofa bed. The large living/dining room is a great social space if you are traveling with kids or friends. The kitchen is equipped with a four burner range, oven, and freezer. The apartment is beautifully and comfortably furnished, with a blend of modern and antique. The bathroom has a WC and bidet, with a glass shower cubicle.

This video primer was produced with the first time renter in mind but even seasoned travelers will learn useful information about villa rentals in Italy. The topic covered in this video is 'The Types of Rentals Available in Italy to Rent'.

We explain and show the differences between the various types of rentals and the different levels of comfort available. The photos used to produce the video are actual photos of villas and apartments that we rent.

If you are considering a villa rental it is a must see video! Take a few minutes now and watch the video.

In several previous posts we have talked about villas in San Gimignano, as well as the Towers of San Gimignano. Today in our Villa Spotlight we are taking a look at a one of a kind place to stay: a vacation rental that IS one of the towers of San Gimignano! Torre di San Gimignano is a renovated tower located right in the main square of town, and luckily you have plenty of stairs to work off all that Italian food and wine.

While there are 14 of the medieval towers left standing in San Gimignano, Torre di San Gimignano is the only one of them that is habitable.  This 48 meter (157ft) tall tower was built in the 13th century by a local family, the Salvucci's, and is now the tallest private tower in San Gimignano.  The tower spans 10 floors as well as a gorgeous terrace with about 160 stairs in all.
