If you are a person who enjoys a vacation experience that is luxurious and set within elegant and sophisticated surroundings and you are interested in a getaway in Tuscany, then Podere D’Asso might be the perfect spot for you. Nestled in the heart of the region, in the lush green surroundings of the Orcia Valley (the epitome of the famously beautiful Tuscan countryside), just 2 kilometres from San Giovanni D'asso and a mere 20 kilometres from Montalcino, this idyllic retreat offers a dream haven for anyone seeking peace and quiet, easy access to the attractions of Tuscany, and a taste of life in this magical part of the world. 

Villa Michelangiolo Casina is one of our current villa crushes among our Tuscany Villas listings. With an incredible location not far from the centre of Florence (the Ponte Vecchio is just fifteen minutes away on foot), plush interiors that scream typical Italian style and design, and a charming garden, this gem of a property is the perfect place for a chic holiday in Florence. 

While, of course, there are a range of different Tuscany villas to browse across our websites to suit all sorts of budgets, groups, tastes, preferred locations, desired features and amenities, etc, we cannot help but admire a particular kind of villa: the stunning historic properties plucked directly from our dreams! These incredible gems boast stunning interiors, incredible surroundings and grounds, remarkable characters and histories, and just endless visual appeal. For those who have always wanted to stay in a palace or old manor and get a taste of the lives of ancient nobility, these really are a dream come true! 

An example that we have been admiring lately is the extraordinary seven-bedroom and seven-bathroom Villa Staggia, located 13km (8 miles) from Poggibonsi and 24km (15 miles) from Siena in green and leafy private grounds that overlook lush fields and rolling hills so typical of this magical region. 

Across our selection of stunning luxury villas in Tuscany, you will find several different historic properties that are beyond beautiful. For those who love history and art, period films, and dreamy or cinematic surroundings or for those who have always wanted to feel a little bit like a lord or lady, the experience of staying in one of these gems is utterly magical and unforgettable. The pretty Villa Moriano is one such property, a historic and charming and picturesque villa that looks like something from a Wes Anderson film or a storybook. An eight-bedroom luxury villa located in the lush countryside just outside the famous Medieval walled town of Lucca, this truly remarkable vacation rental in Tuscany has all of the bells and whistles that you could ask for and utterly seductive visuals.
