Tuscany
Holiday home in Tuscany
Tuscany is located on the west coast of Italy, slightly above the center. The area of Tuscany is nearly 23.000 km² and over 3,5 million people live there. In the west, you will find the Tuscan coast. Here, Tuscany borders the Tyrrhenian Sea: the part of the Mediterranean Sea that lies between Sicily, Corsica, Sardinia, and “the boot of Italy”.
Tuscany is often called one of the most beautiful parts of Italy. This is partly because there are 120 nature reserves located in Tuscany. Wherever you stay, there is always one nearby where you can enjoy the beautiful nature for a day.
Tuscany consists of 10 provinces, each with its own attractions. Click on your preferred province and discover everything about it.

Tuscany is actually beautiful all year round. In spring (April-May), nature comes to life, with blooming fields, fresh air, and quiet roads. Ideal for those who enjoy walking or cycling. The summer months (June-August) are warm and lively, with sun-drenched days, cultural festivals, and long evenings outdoors. In autumn (September-October), tranquility returns, the grape and olive harvests begin, and the soft light makes everything even more beautiful. Even in winter, Tuscany offers charm! Think of cozy village markets and museums without crowds.
Tuscany feels like coming home, even if it is your first time there. The rolling hills with rows of cypress trees, the sun turning everything golden, and the scent of freshly baked bread and lavender—it is Italy at its finest. You wander through medieval towns, sample local wines on a terrace among the vines, and discover quiet country lanes where you spontaneously stop for a picnic with a view. Tuscany lets you enjoy yourself at your own pace.
Absolutely. Many of our holiday homes in Tuscany feature a swimming pool. Often private, sometimes shared on a small-scale estate. A pool with a view of the hills or among the olive trees makes your stay even more relaxing. Imagine lounging on a sunbed with a book, splashing around with the children, or enjoying the starry sky in the evening with a glass of wine. We also have houses with fenced pools or shallow areas, ideal for young families.
Yes indeed, Tuscany is still the place to be for a spontaneous holiday. Especially outside the high season (spring or autumn), there are often beautiful spots available, sometimes with a nice discount. Keep an eye on our website or contact us for personal advice.

Stroll through atmospheric cities like Florence, Siena, and Lucca, admire the Leaning Tower of Pisa, or wander through smaller gems such as San Gimignano or Montepulciano.

A wine tasting at a local cantina or a cooking workshop with fresh pasta will make your holiday complete.
