Tuscany

Luxury holidays in Tuscany are flourishing thanks to the many charms this beautiful region boasts. Even the most discerning of travellers will find their perfect holiday rental in Tuscany. The variety of property on offer includes apartments, farmhouses, luxury villas, mansions and other unique properties.

For many travellers to Italy, Tuscany rules supreme over all the other regions of the country. Her artistic wealth is so rich that one is left in awe at the endless roll call of the great names of artists who have worked there and of the cities and villages that contain their works. Her bucolic countryside of rolling hills clad with vines and woodlands creates a world of rural harmony from which one half expects figures from the quattrocento paintings to walk out. Her cuisine delights with its variety drawn from the land and the sea (Tuscany has a long coastline), from its hot summers and harsh, cold winters, all washed down with local wines.

These iconic images give Tuscany a timeless familiarity about it, but of course Tuscany is far more complex than just being a countryside of well known rural views and treasure trove towns. For there is another Tuscany to discover, more secretive, more isolated, a verdant idyll, tucked away in small hidden valleys below steep wooded hills, or sheltered from the elements on the sweeping, almost lunar landscape of the Crete Senese plains in the south.  The two Tuscany's, known and unknown, live side by side.

For every Florence, Siena or Arezzo, overwhelmed by tourism (and with good reason), there is a small village down a country lane where, the insides of a church have been adorned by a master, or a palazzo opens its doors to the public to reveal its glorious rooms.

Tuscany has become the go to region for luxury holidays in Italy and here at Rocksure Travel we have an amazing collection of opulent accommodation on offer.  We have apartments, farmhouses and luxury villas in Tuscany all set in fabulous locations.  Our most popular luxury villas in Tuscany include the amazing Villa Scintilla, a luxury mansion in the undiscovered Maremma area. There is the beautiful Villa Natale with its open living areas, pool and wonderful countryside views.  And the incredible 15th century Tuscan villa, Villa Le Camelie which is set in 100 acres of olive groves and woodland. It sleeps up to 16 and is popular for special family holidays and group trips.

The climate in Tuscany is generally mild with differences depending on the geography of each area. The coast and valleys tend to have hotter summers than the hills or mountains although the coast benefits from breezes off the sea for cooler temperatures even in those warmer months.
The hottest and driest month is July, this is the best time to visit if you wish to lay by the pool or beach. The best time to visit for sightseeing is April to June or September and October, as this is when the sun is less gruelling but the heat is pleasant.
