We have all sorts of incredible villas in Tuscany to choose from – from idyllic stone farmhouses located in lush valleys to beautifully preserved historic homes, stunning modern feats of architecture that boast sweeping views to chic villas directly overlooking the sea – and at all sorts of price points, to suit most budgets. However, if you can manage it, we do recommend our luxury villas in Tuscany, in particular.

Often less unattainable than you might imagine and with all of the bells and whistles that you could ask for, these properties make for an especially dreamy vacation in Tuscany...

Have you been dreaming of savouring the hearty local cuisine of Tuscany while sipping incredible wines from Chianti and the other wine regions of the area? Do you long to see famous works of art like Michelangelo’s David or wander spaces stuffed with art like the Uffizi? Would you like to spend days admiring stunning churches and architectural gems like the cathedral in Siena and exploring pretty medieval towns and charming villages like Lucca and Montepulciano? What about driving through the famous rolling green hills, and more while on holiday in Tuscany? 

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.

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.
