Italy has some of the most fascinating cities in the world, Rome, Venice, Florence, Sienna the list goes on and on. They are all worth visiting and they house some of the best art museums you could wish to see as well as numerous top class shops. If you tire of all that you can just sit back in a café and admire the people and their marvellous dress sense.

But its probably the tranquil local village life, trying a bit of Italian, long meals in restaurants and time relaxing by the pool which best epitomises a good Italian villa holiday.

In Italy many of the villas are restored properties which reflect the local architecture, this is most evident in the stone houses of Tuscany.

Our Italian agent is both a good friend and a great professional who ensures that the villas are exactly as they should be and that the owners offer their full support and help to our clients. We have long experience of renting these villas and there are always a few new well selected gems to look forward to every year.

There is an excellent range in Tuscany, mainly outside the hotspot areas which we consider to busy and expensive. Our villas are within easy striking distance of the principal sights amidst wonderful countryside. Coastal Tuscany offers a lovely combination of sea and scenery as do  the Lazio and Le Marche regions.
