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.

There is no single way to experience Tuscany.
Florence is the region’s cultural heart, where visitors can wander through grand piazzas, historic churches and world-famous galleries. Pisa is home to the iconic Leaning Tower and the beautiful Piazza dei Miracoli, while Arezzo offers a quieter glimpse of Tuscan life with its medieval streets and relaxed cafés.
Beyond the cities, the countryside is dotted with vineyards, olive groves and hilltop villages that feel almost untouched by twenty-first century living. Many visitors spend their days exploring small towns, browsing local markets or sampling locally produced wine at a vineyard.
If the sea calls, the Tuscan coastline and the island of Elba offer sandy beaches, clear water and relaxed seaside towns where the pace of life slows even further.
Tuscany’s history stretches back thousands of years.
The region was first shaped by the Etruscans before becoming part of the Roman Empire. Centuries later the powerful Medici family helped turn Florence into the centre of the Renaissance, leaving behind extraordinary art and architecture.
Today that heritage can be seen across the region. Florence is home to remarkable galleries and landmarks including the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore and the Ponte Vecchio. Pisa’s famous Leaning Tower stands within the historic Piazza dei Miracoli alongside the city’s impressive cathedral.
Across Tuscany you’ll also find medieval towns, ancient ruins and churches that tell the story of the region’s long and fascinating past.
Tuscany was made for a family Villacation.
Our hand-picked family-friendly villas provide an idyllic base where children can swim and play while adults relax on the terrace. When it’s time to head out, there’s plenty nearby to keep everyone entertained.
Waterparks such as Piccolo Mondo near Pisa offer slides and pools for full days of fun, while countryside farms and small rural attractions give younger visitors the chance to experience Tuscan life up close.
Beach days are also within reach. The coast near Grosseto and the island of Elba offer sandy beaches and calm water that are ideal for families.
If you enjoy something more active, Tuscany offers plenty of options.
Cycling routes wind through vineyards, forests and rolling hills, while walking trails link many of the region’s hilltop villages. It’s a great way to see the countryside at a slower pace.
Along the coast you’ll find watersports including sailing, snorkelling, surfing and diving, particularly around Elba and the Maremma coastline.
