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 Parco Benestare is a park in the areas located in, and a collaboration between, the districts of Gambassi Terme (near Florence) and Montaione in Tuscany. It is a unique concept for a new kind of park land that has no strict territorial boundaries and takes in and celebrates the culture, beauty and history of both areas.

Composed of picturesque routes, the park brings visitors on interesting journeys through the Tuscan landscape and allows them to experience its uncommon beauty.

If you are looking to get away from it all, this is just the place! We have plenty of vacation rentals in Gambassi Terme and vacation rentals in Montaione as well as some in nearby towns. Check out our vacation rentals in San Gimignano, Certaldo and Castelfiorentino as well.

Gambassi Terme is a town in Tuscany, located in the south of Florence province, on the border with the province of Siena, which is home to famous thermal baths. Archaeological evidence indicates that the town has been inhabited since the Neolithic Age but it wasn't properly settled until the Etruscans arrived in the seventh century BC. It was later home to the Romans and there is evidence of a castle there in the Middle Ages, going as far back as 1037. Gambassi Castle then became property of the bishopric of Volterra until the end of the twelfth century before a newer castle was built next to the old in the 12th century. Disputes over the ownership of the town led to bloody battles until it finally came under Florentine rule in the 13th century. Only since 1977 has it been called Gambassi “Terme”, an addition to highlight the importance of its natural spas (the “terme”).

Boccaccesca: A Delicious Reason To Book A Villa In Tuscany This Fall

Autumn means harvest season and if you were thinking about an off-season vacation in Tuscany in one of our Tuscany villas then foodies will be glad to know thaat it is also foodie season. During the Fall, Tuscany is not only flooded with all sorts of delicious food products that have been freshly harvested but it abounds with food festivals. While food festivals do take place throughout the entire year, there are endless options to choose from at this time of the year, in particular. One of the larger and most impressive among these has to be Certaldo’s Boccaccesca festival. Named for and held in honour of the famous 14th century writer and beloved son of the town, Boccaccio, this foodie festival has been taking place since 1999 and sees Certaldo Alto taken over for three to four days each October or late September by all sorts of food stalls selling products and snacks, demonstrations, lessons, talks, tastings, and much more besides. So, if you love to eat well and you have been browsing our luxury villas in Florence nearby or our holiday rentals in Certaldo itself, then consider planning a getaway in the area around the 14th to the 16th of October this year or around that general time on any given year to sample the delights of the Boccaccesca festival.

Certaldo Alto is a pretty little medieval town in the Tuscan countryside, perched on a hillside between Florence and Pisa. With old walls, cobbled streets and amazing views over the surrounding scenery, it is a truly beautiful and picturesque place, full of the charm of times gone by. This is only heightened by the presence of the Certaldo Funicular, a funicular railway that links Certaldo Basso to Certaldo Alto, the older and newer parts of the town. Along the way, it offers excellent views over the new town and the surrounding area.

If you are looking for a vacation rental in Tuscany that is a little bit unique, a little more modern and chic than your average property in the area, still surrounded by lush Tuscan scenery in the countryside but among other rentals for a little more social interaction, and that is a proper steal, then one of our newest listings, Spereto Nocellara, offers all this and more. Set within a charming and well-equipped holiday village along with eleven other apartments, this stylish and luxurious property is a perfect escape for a small family, a couple, or some pals looking to enjoy a taste of la dolce vita and a dive into Tuscany at an excellent price point. Sleeping up to four and available from €214 per night, Spereto Nocellare still has some availability for summer 2024 but be quick and secure your dates if you are interested as it is booking up fast!

Our room was very beautiful, cosy and even suitable for disabled, everyone was so friendly and the food there is outstanding. Every night we got a different, yet exciting new dish. The suroundings are so beautiful and it's a perfect place for relaxation. I would recommend this Guesthouse to anyone who's looking for perfect getaway in the tuscany.

We have been in the middle of winter in that place. Our stay was very comfortabel and we where overwellhelmed by the kindness and the care The Owner and his family took for us. They have cooked every day excellent 3 cours menus in toscanian style for us. The ecological Wine he is making on his property is fantastic. And the location of this place is wonderfull. By car You can be in 1,5 hours to all sights and big cities of Toscana but You can also walk by foot ore go by bike. A really lovely place we can recommend it and we wish to be soon there again.

La Torre Antica is a working vineyard and olive farm in an idyllic country setting in Tuscany. The effort to drive down the chlaky bumpy road from the main road is well worth while. Rooms are spacious and comfortable. The pool is of a reasonable size and well maintained. The owner, Andrea, is a charming man with a great sense of humour. What the original information did not do justice to was the evening meal on offer. A full Italian 4-course meal with the owner's excellent wine available and each evening a bonus glass of his vin santo. A different and delicious menu on each of our seven nights. Our only regret was not being able to drive back home with a few cases! Something we'll put right in the future.

Very Good 4^/5   Villa Review Rating Details

Het domein is zeer rustig gelegen, wat zeker als een pluspunt kan beschouwd worden. De kamer was zeer basic, maar over het algemeen in orde. Een minpunt is wel dat er slechts 1 venster is aan de kamer, in de vorm van de voordeur. Daardoor is de kamer ietwat moeilijk te ventileren.
Er worden geen extra kosten gerekend voor water en elektriciteit, wat een pluspunt is. Wel wordt er fors doorgerekend voor lunch en avondeten, en de prijzen worden niet op voorhand meegedeeld. Aangezien het saldo van de reservatie slechts op het einde afgerekend werd samen met het eten, leverde dit een verassend hoge rekening op, wat niet bepaald prettig is. De prijs voor het eten en drinken ter plaatse was naar ons gevoel niet correct en werd dus niet vooraf meegedeeld.

[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] The area is very quiet, which certainly can be considered as a plus. The room was very basic, but generally okay. One downside is that there is only one window to the room, in the shape of the front door. This makes the room a little difficult to ventilate.
No additional charge for water and electricity, which is a plus. However, there is considerable charge for lunch and dinner, and the prices are not announced in advance. As the balance of the reservation was settled with the food only at the end of our stay this yielded a surprisingly high bill, which is not exactly pleasant. The price for eating and drinking on the spot was not correct in our opinion and we were not informed beforehand.
