Where to Explore in Tuscany

Our outstanding portfolio of luxury Tuscany villas offers beautiful abodes situated in prime locations close to some of Tuscany’s most iconic sites and towns. Whether you seek ultimate relaxation, sightseeing adventures or a delightful combination of both, every day in this wonderful area will feel like a celebration of life itself.
Should you wish to venture away from your sun-kissed terrace and the splendour of your luxurious retreat, Tuscany is a place where every turn reveals a new wonder. Make like a local and hop on a vespa for a whizz through some of the region’s iconic villages and towns, hire a car, or make use of our concierge service and treat yourself to a privately chauffeured drive through the rolling countryside. We guarantee you will not regret seeing some of what this outstanding place has to offer.
Feel the pulse of a city steeped in art and history as you visit world renowned Florence, the heart of the Renaissance, to walk across the Ponte Vecchio and see masterpieces by Botticelli and Leonardo da Vinci at the famous Uffizi Gallery. Or step back in time on a trip to the stunning medieval city of Siena to stroll through its alluring narrow streets and enjoy some people watching in the striking Piazza del Campo. For another taste of Tuscany’s medieval past, a visit to San Gimignano is a must. Walk its cobbled streets, enjoy gelato in the sun-soaked Piazza della Cisterna, and climb to the top of a tower for panoramic views that stretch to the horizon.
Immerse yourself in the verdant countryside of Chianti and enjoy a few sips of Chianti Classico as you visit charming wineries and meet passionate winemakers. Or venture to the iconic UNESCO World Heritage site of Val d’Orcia where rolling hills stretch as far as the eye can see and charming towns like Pienza and Montepulciano invite you to indulge in local culinary delights and sample authentic Italian hospitality.
For a more tranquil escape, explore Lucca, a walled city where you can walk or cycle along the top of its Renaissance walls and discover a more peaceful side of the region away from the busier cities. Or if the coastline is calling you, spend sun-soaked days lazing on the golden sandy beaches surrounded by the azure waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea in the upmarket seaside towns of Viareggio and Forte dei Marmi. For a sample of Tuscany’s wilder, more authentic coastal delights, the Maremma region is certain to impress.
Whether you’re wandering through vineyards, whizzing through cities or simply soaking up the beauty of nature’s surrounding wonders, a stay in a luxury Tuscany villa retreat offers more than just a holiday. It’s a feeling. A feeling that will stay with you long after you leave. And a feeling that we can’t wait to share with you.
