Every time I write about Tuscany Italy, my heart and my entire body for what it’s worth experiences an intense feeling of quietness. I know precisely this feeling comes from the relaxed atmosphere this part of Italy near Florence offloads. 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.

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

The Fattoria il Lago farmhouse is found about forty kilometres north-east of Florence, just outside the little city of Dicomano, hidden away in the olive tree covered Tuscan hillsides. The in depth property homes three areas which are called towns, each having apartment accommodations and an entirely different landscape to admire. The main lodging building is called La Villa and has a pleasurable view of the Dicomano Valley. Simply a short walk away you find Lago town with its corresponding pool accompanied by a beautiful garden. The 3rd area is the most old fashioned sleeping quarters called Macerato, embedded among all the hues of green possible. This type of vacation rental is as comfortable and reposeful as the posh villas, only that you are sharing a typical ground with other travellers. When you get your Tuscany vehicle rental, you must ask for a good map and maybe even ask them if they can give more explicit directions towards Dicomano being as the cottage is found off other country roads. Customarily any vacation home in Tuscany offers the choice of giving full directions when booking and also being picked up at nearby train or bus stations. You just have to make sure they knows beforehand.

The 11th c. Medieval priory of San Lorenzo a Linari in Sovicille, south of Siena is one of those holiday rental places in Tuscany where you can have it all and still have your own breathing room, having your freedom 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 vehicle, horse-back riding or an aerial view from a hot-air balloon. And if you do not want to miss out on the lovely beaches, there are excursions to the Mediterranean shore, too.

Staying in Tuscany in the Chiantii area in the luxurious villa estate called Villa de Dievole close to the old city of Vagliali. As all villas used to be part of to the Italian noble class, the exclusiveness and privacy is incomparable. The decoration in many has been respected in the restoration process, thus 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 holiday tours can be choked full of emotions and peacefulness.
