Mattei Villa is one of our Exclusive Italian Villas Club listings and is a stunning, typically Tuscan stone villa with a terracotta roof, surrounded by the lush greenery of the famously pastoral Tuscan countryside. Located in San Casciano In Val Di Pesa, in the heart of Tuscany's Chianti region, the villa offers expansive views over olive groves, vineyards, woods, and country estates and is ideally positioned for both enjoying a peaceful escape in Tuscany and easy access to many of the region's most famous destinations and attractions. Sleeping 12 guests (plus a potential 4 additional guests) in six bedrooms, with six bathrooms, Mattei Villa boasts lovely grounds, a wonderful private pool, charming and cosy interiors, and all of the mod-cons you could need of a luxury villa in Tuscany!

For classical music enthusiasts or anyone who loves including a more whimsical and romantic outing in their travel itinerary there is yet another great reason to book a vacation rental in the Val D’Orcia: to attend one of the utterly magical concerts of the Paesaggi Musicali Toscani. This series is, without a doubt, one of the major musical and artistic highlights of the cultural calendar in Tuscany and an incredibly special way for anyone to experience this lovely part of the world.

The famously breath-taking rolling hills and lush fields of Tuscany are arguably at their most stunning in the UNESCO-awarded landscape of the Val D’Orcia. This is where the scenery truly sings in its beauty and makes for a rather romantic and evocative backdrop for this series of incredible concerts in Tuscany throughout the summer (and up to Christmas). 

Set within a 119-hectare private estate among the rolling green hills of Tuscany, with cypress trees, olive groves, fields, vineyards, winding roads, and more all around, Castello di Cabbiavoli is a dream experience of historic luxury in Tuscany. Enjoy complete privacy and breath-taking panoramic views over the evocative surrounding countryside, a beautifully manicured garden with lovely areas to dine al fresco, a stunning private pool, and wonderfully restored interiors. Sleeping up to twelve guests in six bedrooms, with seven bathrooms, this unique gem is the perfect base for a truly unforgettable stay in a luxury villa in Tuscany.

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.

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.
