How to Rent a Villa in Tuscany

Tuscany, the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance, with its architectural and artistic heritage, boasts dozens of museums, most of them in Florence, medieval towns, and world-famous vineyards.

Nowhere else in Italy are the culture, the climate, the people, the cuisine and the wine, all so very Italian. But before all, settling in a holiday home for a week or twin into the rolling hills of rural Tuscan life may change how you travel for some time to come.

So, where to start:trans.gif

Decide where you want to go.

Tuscany is without doubt one of the most beautiful regions of Europe and even, amongst many others, Italians also spend their holidays in Tuscany. With its lush green rolling hills, lined with cypress trees, lavish fields of sunflowers, and mile after mile of sunny vineyards, it not only offers some of the most beautiful countryside scenery in Europe but it has some of the most aesthetically pleasing cities on the Old continent. Siena, Florence, Lucca, Pisa and Arezzo are all in the region of Tuscany and are all well worth a visit.

 

Book in advance.
Obvious, but it has to be said: Tuscan villas get booked out in advance, particularly in summer. Many holiday home owners offer last minute discounts on their villas, but when prices start from as little as €10 per person per night, you really don't want to risk. So, the earlier the better: and you can take advantage of our 'early bird' discount and avoid last minute trouble. Start your search at SunnyRentals.com

Book by the week, not by the day.
Prices are usually set by the week and that is the absolute minimum it takes to get a real taste of the region. And if you don't have that time, but want to get away for a long weekend, better leave the countryside vacation for next year and enjoy the bohemian lifestyle of the Italians in one of the many fascinating towns, instead...slowly sipping your espresso in a street cafe, watching the world pass you by, is a just as good.
