Tuscany is one of Europe’s
most beautiful regions and offers the visitor the perfect combination of a
fascinating history, a rich and vibrant culture and some of the Mediterranean
most delicious gastronomy. In Tuscany, villa rental accommodation allows you to
indulge in your own piece of paradise. You can choose a Tuscany villa rental
from something like a small family sized house to a much larger estate,
complete with swimming pool and extensive grounds. Book with a reputable travel
company and you will be guaranteed an extensive choice, carefully handpicked by
a team of experts well versed in the needs of the discerning traveler.
Tuscany villa rental accommodation is located
in a variety of places, and whether you prefer to be near one of the local
towns or right out in the tranquil countryside there will be the perfect one
for you. Choosing to explore independently gives you the flexibility to plan
your holiday exactly as you like, visit off the beaten track towns and
vineyards and make the most of the many wonderful restaurants. You also can
indulge in the privilege of being able to relax and enjoy the balmy summer
evenings in the comfort of your own space whenever you like.
Exploring The Hilltop
Towns
Dotted amongst the
rolling hills covered with vineyards, olive groves and fruit orchards are the
many tiny hilltop towns the region is famous for. Each town is proud of its
traditions and ancestry and has much to offer the interested visitor.
A great place to start is
San Gimignano, with its thirteen towers that dominate the town putting it
firmly on the tourist track. In times gone by the towers were built as a sign
of the towns wealth and influence in the area, and the thirteen that still
remain were once part of more than a hundred. Enjoy an ice cream and wander
around the walls of the town marveling at the breath taking views of the
landscape all around.
Pienza is a charming town
close to the San Quirico Valley and famous for producing the wonderful pecorino
cheese. Made from the milk of the region’s local sheep, this cheese is a
staple on the traditional Tuscan tables. Enjoyed in a panino, grated on top of
a pasta dish, or simply eaten as an accompaniment to a glass of fine Chianti
wine, pecorino is one of the best cheeses in the area.
If wine tasting is your
passion, make sure you include Montepulciano and Montalcino on your travels.
Both towns are well known for producing world class Chianti wines and are
charming places to visit. Volterra is another town of rich medieval history,
and wandering the tiny streets and exploring the old part of the town is a fun
way to spend a day.
With such an array of
Tuscany villa rental options available there will be one that is bound to suit
you perfectly. Book your home away from home, explore at your own pace, and
make your holiday one to remember always.
