If there is one mistake that is repeated more often each year than any other it’s waiting to long to book a villa for a large group. Large villas are always the first properties to be booked in the season. There are many reasons for this but the primary factor is coordinating the travel schedules of some many people and booking airlines tickets.

When should you book? As soon as you know the number of people traveling and have decided on a travel date (remember villa bookings run from Saturday to Saturday). In most cases, the rates and availability come online in Aug/Sept of the prior year, so, for example, you can book for the 2008 season now. If you need to book two years in advance please let us know and we can suggest some properties that allow bookings that far in advance.     Read More

  

Pool at Villa Fabbroni
So far in our Villa Spotlight, we have covered large luxury villas, affordable country villas, and opulent palazzos. Over the next few days we will be covering a large multi-unit villa, where your family could rent out a part of the villa fit for only a handful of people or just as easily rent out the entire residence. Multi-unit villa rentals can be ideal for many travelers, who may not need a gigantic palace in which to reside but do not want the crammed in feeling of a hotel. Another advantage of a multi-unit villa is when you have rented one large villa for 30 or more people and you'd like your own private space in the evening. Villa Fabbroni can accommodate up to 36 people, broken into five separate units.     Read More

  

Villa Felciai
Our first, two-part Villa Spotlight series continues with Villa Felciai. Make sure to view the previous villa spotlight entry regarding Villa Fabbri . We are proud to offer you this pair of villas perfect for large groups coming to Tuscany for a wedding, family reunion or whatever the reason. Villa Felciai and Villa Fabbri are close to each other, roughly 200m (220 yards), but completely independent properties for those interested in renting only one of them. Both villas are part of the huge estate of the Villa La Selva, where the owners live and oversee their winery and other operations.

Villa Felciai has 11 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms and can sleep a maximum of 24 people more than comfortably. The villa is on a small country road just outside of the medieval hamlet of Monte Benichi, a secluded area of Tuscany that lies between Siena and Arezzo.     Read More

Villa Fabbri and Villa Felciai are close to each other, but completely independent properties for those interested in renting only one of them. Both villas are part of the huge estate of the Villa La Selva, where the owners live and oversee their winery and other operations.

Villa Fabbri has ten bedrooms and 9 bathrooms and can sleep a maximum of 22 people. This large property has gorgeous views of the surrounding countryside, and also has a private swimming pool for exclusive use by the guests.     Read More

  

Palazzo Rosadi
Welcome back to Villa Spotlight: where we point out some of the villas that we believe stand out. Some offer a peaceful and relaxed vacation spot, some offer a great location to act as a launching point for your site-seeing through Tuscany, some are perfect for the newlyweds on a budget, and then we have properties like Palazzo Rosadi that seem to be a veritable fortress of luxury and beauty.

"Fabulous villa in a fabulous part of Tuscany. Highly recommended!"
