Family villas in Tuscany

Think of Tuscany and it's hard not to be transported to a world of wineries and rolling olive-green hills.

Days here might begin with coffee on the terrace before heading out to explore the iconic cities of Florence, Pisa, or perhaps one of the many villages scattered across the countryside. Afternoons call for long, leisurely lunches, perusing local markets and perhaps a visit to a vineyard. Evenings are made for simple meals, good wine and dancing under the stars.

A Villacation in Tuscany brings all this together. The freedom to explore the region whenever you choose, then return to your own place to relax by your own private pool.

Your villa. Your space. Your Tuscany Villacation.

What are your top five recommendations for a holiday in Tuscany?

  • Explore the Renaissance treasures of Florence - The birthplace of the Renaissance, Florence is a must-visit for art lovers, with icons like Michelangelo’s David and Brunelleschi’s dome taking centre stage. Wander across the Ponte Vecchio, sip a negroni at a rooftop bar and while away the afternoon in a world-class museum or two.
  • Wine tasting in the Chianti countryside - Rolling vineyards, ancient castles and charming stone villages define Chianti – the ultimate spot for wine lovers. Join a tasting session at a traditional winery and sample the region’s famed reds while soaking up picture-perfect views.
  • Visit the Leaning Tower and beyond in Pisa - Yes, the tower leans and yes, it’s worth seeing – but Pisa is more than just one quirky landmark. Spend time in the Piazza dei Miracoli, then wander along the Arno River and discover all the delights this city has to offer.
  • Unwind on the beaches of Elba or Grosseto - For a taste of Tuscany’s coastal side, head to the white-sand beaches near Grosseto or take a ferry to Elba Island. Think calm, clear waters perfect for swimming and snorkelling, plus dramatic sunsets best enjoyed from a sailing boat.
  • Discover hilltop towns in the Val d’Orcia - A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Val d’Orcia is Tuscany at its most cinematic – golden hills, winding roads and sleepy villages like Pienza and Montalcino. It’s perfect for scenic drives, leisurely lunches and basking in that timeless Tuscan atmosphere.
