Discover The Direct Flights And Book Your Villa In Tuscany

Have you been dreaming about a vacation in Tuscany? Well, now is a perfect time to plan a trip as many new direct flights to the region have been added!

Traditionally, many choosing to holiday in the area had to fly into Bologna but Pisa and Florence are actually the two major international airports within the region itself and might be more convenient arrival points depending on where you will be staying. Thankfully, however, there are increasingly more and more direct routes opening to these two regional airports so if you want to plan a trip, you’ll have more options available to you. Book your villa in Tuscany and you’ll be able to easily organise your arrival thanks to these new direct flights...

During your next vacation to Tuscany why not spend a day or two in the glorious Empoli area in the lower Arno Valley of Florence? There are several charming towns and villages here that are of Roman origin which have plenty of things for tourists to see and do! If you wish to stay in the area for a few days, why not look at some superb vacation rentals with great reviews in Empoli town?

The rich fertile soil here has made Empoli into a successful agricultural area where many olive groves and vineyards thrive as well as many fields of healthy crops.

There is a huge range of nature trails and history attractions in the area as well as some fantastic towns to visit like Castelfiorentino, Montelupo, Montaione and Montespertoli.

The Maremma is a coastal area of Tuscany, bordering the Tyrrhenian Sea, that encompasses much of south-western Tuscany and a part of northern Lazio as well. It is a lovely area of seaside towns, long stretches of beaches, endless horizons and a wealth of natural beauty. As one can imagine, it is a popular tourist area during the summer months but has its own charms that can be enjoyed all throughout the year and some that might even be more enjoyable in the colder months; such as the hiking and walking trails that are more enjoyable without intense heat, the stark landscapes of the beaches in winter, the quiet of the resorts out of season, and more. However, another great part of Autumn and Winter in Maremma is the Tuscan cuisine, which is perfect for getting cosy on cooler days, and an ideal Maremma dish on days like this is Cinghiale alla Maremmana.

Montelupo is a little treasure, located only twenty kilometres south west of Florence. Built on a hilly area with the River Pesa flowing through it, this would be a superb place to visit for a day during your travels of Tuscany!

Why not stay in a gorgeous holiday villa with swimming pool in Montelupo? Tourists have a fine choice of accommodation in the area to relax and unwind at after a few exhilarating days of exploring the area!

Human settlements have existed here since the Palaeolithic era so there are lots of fascinating prehistoric sites to visit when you come here.

See some Etruscan civilisation tombs in the old historic centre of Montelupo and view where a spectacular Roman villa was unearthed. The town itself is surrounded by ancient walls that offer a wealth of history and exciting legends for those who want to learn more!

If you have been dreaming of waking up to the most remarkable postcard-perfect views of the famous rolling green hills of Tuscany but you also want to be able to easily access Florence and other famous destinations in Tuscany, then look no further than the astounding Cottage Colle Di Sotto. This converted historic building was once a hayloft but is now a private cottage with a swimming pool that boasts truly extraordinary views of the Tuscan countryside. Utterly idyllic, with pretty and rustic interiors as well as all of the mod-cons that you could ask for, this gem has everything! With some availability for June and August still – but booking up fast – this dream villa is the ideal place for your summer 2024 vacation in Tuscany.

Located in the Tuscan hills near Montelupo Fiorentino and Florence, just 5km from Montelupo Fiorentino (where you’ll find shops and other amenities that you might need), 8km from the town of Empoli, 21km from Da Vinci’s hometown of Vinci and within easy day-trip distance of San Gimignano, Lucca, Pisa, the Tuscan Coast, and Siena, you will find that a stay at Cottage Colle Di Sotto will leave you able to well and truly make the most of your time on holiday in Tuscany.

Why not take a day to visit the intriguing Roman farm remains called Villa del Virginio in the province of Florence that dates back to the 1st century BC?

Discovered in the 1980’s by a team of local archaeologists, this well preserved structure offers tourists a rare glimpse back into Roman times as they walk around what was once the home of a very wealthy family that ran a huge farming business.

Visitors wishing to stay in this area to explore it for a few days have a fine choice of luxury villas in the nearby town of Montelupo.

Explore the extensive 3,000 square metre area that existed at the meeting point between the Virginio and Pesa rivers. Back in Roman times, this was the ideal spot for building a farming villa as it was close to water which workers would regularly carry and water the crops with under the burning Tuscan sun. History records detail the great importance this area was in terms of agricultural production for all of Tuscany!

Excellent 5^/5 Villa Review Rating Details

The villa is impeccably kept and in a beautiful, quiet setting in gently rolling hills. We've stayed twice now and will stay again. Francesco, the owner, is a perfect host. Always helpful, concerned as a friend that your stay is everything you wish it to be. He speaks perfect English so we had no concerns there. The view from the private pool is exquisite; the evenings are every bit as enchanting as you'd imagine. Three big bedrooms. Plus another bedroom with two beds. And a loft that my nephew took immediately. Great place for a group from 7 to 10. You'll definitely need a car & the drive up (first time) the private road leads you to fields of olives and grape vines. The visit to the Piazzano wine farm shouldn't be missed... people are wonderful there as well. And don't miss the building we call the castle!! :) Such a beautiful place... a home. The villa is very close on to Empoli and only a few minutes from the Empoli train station, where access to Florence is simple and fast. Empoli has a massive COOP (mall with supermarket and dozens of stores). Villa Somelli is a perfect choice for those wanting to relax and have the art of Florence, the beauty of San Gimignano and the beaches at Viareggio all within a hour by car or train. Can't wait until we return!
