Italy has a long history of being one of the major art centres of the world and this continues to be true to this day. In addition to exhibiting some of the most incredible masterpieces in museums, churches, and palaces around the country, hosting amazing temporary exhibitions of the works of some of the most remarkable contemporary artists around the globe, and continuing to educate new artists in academies and universities, Italy also famously plays host to major art showcases on a regular basis. Among these, the biennale in Venice and the biennale in Florence are two of the largest and most celebrated examples. Florence will next host a biennale in 2027 and, as of this week, more information about the 16th edition has been released. For art-lovers looking ahead to a stay at one of our gorgeous villas in Florence, it is a great reason to book for October next year...

While many of our incredible villas in Tuscany boast astounding views over the famous rolling green hills and verdant valleys of the region, some of our villas on the Tuscan Coast offer scenic seaside views instead. Among these, Villa Fior di Roccia has perhaps the most remarkable sweeping coastal panorama and stunning outdoor spaces from which to enjoy them. In addition, many of the bedrooms and other rooms in the house give guests beautifully framed vistas or peeps across the bay as you go about your daily life. So, if you want to enjoy a Tuscan getaway but also really want to make the most of a seaside break, this is the perfect base, set in an elevated position just 200m from the water, and can accommodate up to eight guests comfortably in four bedrooms with four bathrooms.

For modern art lovers, Florence may not be the obvious choice of destination. While undeniably one of the most important artistic centres in the world and the birthplace of the Renaissance, the city may seem to many to be rooted too far into the past. This is, of course, untrue as the city is home to a vibrant street art culture, plenty of fascinating contemporary galleries, art schools and academies still attracting artists from around the world, and museums with permanent modern and contemporary sections. In addition to this, one museum is currently home to one of the most exciting modern art exhibitions in the globe: Palazzo Strozzi's Rothko a Firenze (Rothko in Florence) exhibition. So, book your villa in Florence this spring or summer and see this fascinating monograph of the great modern painter while you can...

One of the best things about Tuscany as a destination is that it boasts a varied and beautiful landscape. Those who book a villa in Tuscany, therefore, will often find that alongside savouring incredible meals and local wines, ticking major attractions off their bucket lists like the Leaning Tower of Pisa, experiencing astounding works of art and architectural gems like Michelangelo's David and Florence's Duomo, and relaxing like a local, simply soaking up the beauty all around is what makes a vacation here so magical! Better still, many of our holiday rentals in Tuscany offer guests perfectly framed views that they can enjoy all throughout their stay – when you open your bedroom window in the morning, as you dine al fresco in the garden, when you're lounging by the pool, while sipping wine during sunset on the terrace, and more. 

In order to help you find a truly magical property with picture-perfect scenery, we've put together a list of some of our most incredible examples of vacation rentals in Tuscany with amazing views...
