Every time I write about Tuscany Italy, my heart and my full body in fact experiences an intense feeling of calmness. I know precisely this feeling comes from the relaxed atmosphere this part of Italy near Florence gives off. I have found an ideal balance of enjoying the fascinating city of Florence and its cultural activities at the same time I refurbish energy by either doing a farm vacation or staying in a luxury villa in the countryside of Tuscany.

Wallow in Luxury in Tuscany Italy

The words ‘luxury’ and ‘farm’ might frighten you away, firstly because everybody associates luxury with pricey and farm with small comfort. Let me tell you of some wonderful places where I have been and you’ll see how this is much more enjoyable than staying at a hotel in the town centre.

The Fattoria il Lago cottage is found about forty kilometres north-east of Florence, just outside the tiny city of Dicomano, hidden away in the olive tree covered Tuscan hillsides. The extensive property houses three areas which are referred to as towns, each having apartment accommodations and a completely different landscape to admire. The main lodging building is known as La Villa and has a pleasurable view of the Dicomano Valley. Just a short walk away you find Lago town with its corresponding pool accompanied by a pretty garden. The third area is the most old fashioned sleeping quarters called Macerato, embedded among all the colours of green possible. This type of holiday rental is as comfortable and reposeful as the luxurious villas, only that you are sharing a typical ground with other travellers. When you get your Tuscany vehicle rental, you should ask for a good map and perhaps even ask them if they can give more explicit directions towards Dicomano being as the farmhouse is found off other country roads. Usually any vacation home in Tuscany offers the option of giving full directions when booking and also being picked up at nearby train or bus stations. You simply have to make sure they knows beforehand.

The 11th c. medieval monastery of San Lorenzo a Linari in Sovicille, south of Siena is an example of those holiday rental places in Tuscany where you can have it all and still have your own breathing space, having your liberty from stress. This magnificent lodging is individual lofts tantalizing you with Tuscany tours like viewing the hillside and mountains seated in a four-wheel drive automobile, horse-back riding or an aerial view from a hot-air balloon. And if you do not want to lose out on the beautiful beaches, there are excursions to the Mediterranean seashore, too.

Staying in Tuscany in the Chiantii area in the posh villa estate called Villa de Dievole close to the old town of Vagliali. As all villas used to belong to the Italian noble class, the exclusiveness and privacy is exquisite. The decoration in many has been respected in the restoration process, you are living among many centuries of history. This 16th century villa has rooms and apartments with a personal guesthouse, too.

Without overtaxing one’s strength, your Tuscany Italy vacation tours can be choked full of emotions and peacefulness.
