Our top 10 villas in Tuscany

As a holiday destination, Tuscany does not disappoint. Accommodation is generally to a high standard and typical farmhouses and apartments epitomise the escapism of living in rural Italy - usually built in stone, these dwellings exemplify the ancient rural architecture of Tuscany. The region offers a landscape that has the most lasting charm. It has an abundance of medieval towns that are second to none and a sheer beauty that it difficult to rival. A simple walk becomes a joy in these surroundings and you are faced with hundreds of years of civilisation. Strolling through medieval streets, you will fall upon endless art and architecture that is second to none.

For those simply wishing to relax, the beaches are lovely and most countryside properties have a swimming pool, perfect for lazy days to soak up the beautiful surroundings. The combination of coastline, mountains, countryside and beautiful towns and cities such as Florence, Siena, Cortona, Lucca, Montepulciano (and we could go on) is truly hard to match.
