Each time I write about Tuscany Italy, my heart and my full body essentially experiences an intense feeling of calmness. I know precisely this feeling comes from the relaxed atmosphere this part of Italy near Florence releases. I have found a perfect balance of enjoying the fascinating city of Florence and its cultural activities at the same time I refurbish energy by either doing a farm holiday or staying in a luxurious villa in the countryside of Tuscany.

Wallow in Luxury in Tuscany Italy

The words ‘luxury’ and ‘farm’ might scare you away, firstly because everybody associates luxury with costly and farm with extremely tiny comfort. Let me tell you of some fantastic places where I have been and you will see how this is far more enjoyable than staying at a hotel in the city centre.

The Fattoria il Lago cottage is located about forty kilometres north-east of Florence, just outside the small town of Dicomano, hidden away in the olive tree covered Tuscan hillsides. The extensive property houses three areas which are referred to as villages, each having apartment accommodations and an entirely different landscape to admire. The main lodging building is called La Villa and has a pleasurable view of the Dicomano Valley. Just a short walk away you find Lago hamlet with its corresponding pool accompanied by a pretty garden. The 3rd area is the most old fashioned sleeping quarters called Macerato, embedded among all the hues of green possible. This sort of holiday rental is as comfortable and reposeful as the luxury villas, only that you are sharing a common ground with other travellers. When you get your Tuscany vehicle rental, you should ask for a good map and maybe even ask them if they can give more explicit directions towards Dicomano being as the cottage is located off other country roads. Usually any vacation home in Tuscany offers the option of giving full directions when booking and also being picked up at nearby train or bus stations. You have to let them know beforehand.

Medieval monastery of San Lorenzo a Linari in Sovicille, south of Siena is one of those vacation rental places in Tuscany where you may have it all and still have your own breathing room, having your liberty from stress. This superb lodging is individual lofts tantalizing you with Tuscany tours such as viewing the hillside and mountains seated in a four-wheel drive vehicle, horse-back riding or an aerial view from a hot-air balloon. And if you do not want to lose out on the lovely beaches, there are excursions to the Mediterranean seashore, too.

Staying in Tuscany in the Chiantii area in the posh villa estate called Villa de Dievole close to the old town of Vagliali. As all villas used to belong to the Italian noble class, the exclusiveness and privacy is exquisite. The decoration in numerous has been respected in the restoration process, you are living among many centuries of history. This 16th century villa has rooms and apartments with a private guesthouse, too.
