Discover The Direct Flights And Book Your Villa In Tuscany

Have you been dreaming about a vacation in Tuscany? Well, now is a perfect time to plan a trip as many new direct flights to the region have been added!

Traditionally, many choosing to holiday in the area had to fly into Bologna but Pisa and Florence are actually the two major international airports within the region itself and might be more convenient arrival points depending on where you will be staying. Thankfully, however, there are increasingly more and more direct routes opening to these two regional airports so if you want to plan a trip, you’ll have more options available to you. Book your villa in Tuscany and you’ll be able to easily organise your arrival thanks to these new direct flights...

The Maremma is a coastal area of Tuscany, bordering the Tyrrhenian Sea, that encompasses much of south-western Tuscany and a part of northern Lazio as well. It is a lovely area of seaside towns, long stretches of beaches, endless horizons and a wealth of natural beauty. As one can imagine, it is a popular tourist area during the summer months but has its own charms that can be enjoyed all throughout the year and some that might even be more enjoyable in the colder months; such as the hiking and walking trails that are more enjoyable without intense heat, the stark landscapes of the beaches in winter, the quiet of the resorts out of season, and more. However, another great part of Autumn and Winter in Maremma is the Tuscan cuisine, which is perfect for getting cosy on cooler days, and an ideal Maremma dish on days like this is Cinghiale alla Maremmana.

If you have been dreaming of waking up to the most remarkable postcard-perfect views of the famous rolling green hills of Tuscany but you also want to be able to easily access Florence and other famous destinations in Tuscany, then look no further than the astounding Cottage Colle Di Sotto. This converted historic building was once a hayloft but is now a private cottage with a swimming pool that boasts truly extraordinary views of the Tuscan countryside. Utterly idyllic, with pretty and rustic interiors as well as all of the mod-cons that you could ask for, this gem has everything! With some availability for June and August still – but booking up fast – this dream villa is the ideal place for your summer 2024 vacation in Tuscany.

Located in the Tuscan hills near Montelupo Fiorentino and Florence, just 5km from Montelupo Fiorentino (where you’ll find shops and other amenities that you might need), 8km from the town of Empoli, 21km from Da Vinci’s hometown of Vinci and within easy day-trip distance of San Gimignano, Lucca, Pisa, the Tuscan Coast, and Siena, you will find that a stay at Cottage Colle Di Sotto will leave you able to well and truly make the most of your time on holiday in Tuscany.

Why not take a day to visit the intriguing Roman farm remains called Villa del Virginio in the province of Florence that dates back to the 1st century BC?

Discovered in the 1980’s by a team of local archaeologists, this well preserved structure offers tourists a rare glimpse back into Roman times as they walk around what was once the home of a very wealthy family that ran a huge farming business.

Visitors wishing to stay in this area to explore it for a few days have a fine choice of luxury villas in the nearby town of Montelupo.

Explore the extensive 3,000 square metre area that existed at the meeting point between the Virginio and Pesa rivers. Back in Roman times, this was the ideal spot for building a farming villa as it was close to water which workers would regularly carry and water the crops with under the burning Tuscan sun. History records detail the great importance this area was in terms of agricultural production for all of Tuscany!

Situated along the River Arno is a beautiful town called Montelupo that became famous during the Middle Ages for its production of ornate ceramics. This artisan town was at one stage probably Italy’s biggest ceramics producer and was once the place where noble families during the Renaissance ordered their crockery sets to be made with the coat of arms of their family name.

Visitors who would like to stay here for a day or two to fully explore the history and crafts of the town have a fine selection of vacation rentals in Montelupo to choose from

Montelupo is a little treasure, located only twenty kilometres south west of Florence. Built on a hilly area with the River Pesa flowing through it, this would be a superb place to visit for a day during your travels of Tuscany!

Why not stay in a gorgeous holiday villa with swimming pool in Montelupo? Tourists have a fine choice of accommodation in the area to relax and unwind at after a few exhilarating days of exploring the area!

Human settlements have existed here since the Palaeolithic era so there are lots of fascinating prehistoric sites to visit when you come here.

See some Etruscan civilisation tombs in the old historic centre of Montelupo and view where a spectacular Roman villa was unearthed. The town itself is surrounded by ancient walls that offer a wealth of history and exciting legends for those who want to learn more!

We had a great time in Il Poggio. Large rustic house is very comfortable for up to 7 people and the terrace offers beautiful view at vineyards. Unfortunately, in the late September the pool was quite refreshing and that is why swimming was just for hardy ones. On the other hand, we could use fireplace every evening. The landlords are so nice and welcoming. They offer their own good home wine and oil.

We had stayed here before and previously found the experience amazing. We wanted to return but were extremely apprehensive when applying this time. The current application procedure under Easyresearve was ringing all bells and flashing red lights.
Since we had been before we took the gamble and relied on the reputation. The gamble won and our time there was perfect.

Zeer fijne plek! Mooi en goed ingericht huisje met airco. Keukengerij is minimaal, dus best wat goede messen en zo meenemen. Nog een tip: stopcontactenverdeler (gaten stopcontacten zijn te klein voor onze stekkers, eentje is oké) meebrengen en muggencréme (er zijn spijtig genoeg veel gemene muggen). Voor de rest: prachtig uitzicht, zeer mooie omgeving, leuk zwembad, lekkere wijn,... Goede uitvalbasis voor uitstappen naar de steden, mogelijk met de trein (half uurtje) naar Firenze. Vriendelijke uitbaatster!

The house in Poggio Nardini was a nice and clean house. Very near Florence (can be reached within half an hour by car). Poggio Nardini is a small Agriturismo with 7 appartments who all look nice and authentic. The beds were very well, but the kitchen and bathroom a bit older.
The only thing is that the three older sisters who run the place are very 'present'. For example, our children can swim very well (Dutch 'C diploma'), but weren't allowed to swim on their own in the pool, although we explained it to the sisters. We also found that the owners were a bit pushy with the weekly dinner on thursday. It didn't feel as if it was your own choice.
But over all we had a nice holiday in beautiful Tuscany.

Fabulous villa, the second time we have stayed here. Excellent service provided by the 3 sisters who run the property. They are very friendly and hospitable, even though sometimes the language barrier could be a bit of a problem. Our villa this time could house 7 adults although only 5 of us stayed so there was plenty of room. The rooms were spacious and tidy with lovely furniture in keeping with the style of the villa. We had amazing views across the vineyards and hillsides from our upper storey bedroom window. The pool was well maintained as were the grounds. A great new addition to the propety is the new wine cellar/hosting area where we enjoyed a wonderful four course meal one evening together with all the guests from the other villas. This was organised by the 3 sisters and was enjoyed by everyone.
For those of you driving to the villa, we did have a major hiccup following our directions provided by this website! The exit at Firenze Signa is no longer called that, it had changed to Scandicci exit over a year ago. This caused us to overshoot the exit and drive for an additional 40km before we could get back to Scandicci. This just causes undue stress when you are driving in a foreign country and rely soley on instructions provided to you.

Poggio Nardini offered the perfect setting for our large, extended family. An easy half hour train ride from Florence, the farmhouse is set in a idyllic, rural setting with lovely views of the countryside. (Be armed with protection from the mosquitoes however!) The farmhouse and other units are filled with simple but comfortable country style funiture and earthy antiques. Our entire stay was made memorable by the kindness and graciousness of our hosts. We loved it! Jan M. -Newburyport, Ma.
