Thirty-something villas. Each here for a specific reason. From €20,000 a week.

A note from the studio

Every villa rental company in the world includes Tuscany. We made it the entire world. The collection is small on purpose, and the criteria for inclusion are narrow on purpose. There is no second tier, no “view 247 more villas,” no algorithm. Each house is in this collection because we have a sentence to write about why.

A first look

The Val d'Orcia at the end of September, with the Cipressi di San Quirico in the middle distance.

On Tuscany

Eight sub-regions.
One specialism.

We do not write destination filler. The Tuscany section of the site is what we wish existed when we started planning our own time here — proper editorial on the eight sub-regions, the towns worth knowing, and the months in which each comes into its own.

The collection

Eight reasons
a villa might be in.

Rather than filter by features, we publish, on each villa page, the specific reason that house is in the collection. Over time these become shared shorthand: a guest asks for a Restored Borgo for fourteen, or a Winemaker’s House in Chianti, and we know exactly what they mean.

From a guest

“The third house we have stayed in through them. They have not yet recommended a property we did not love, and they have, twice, talked us out of one we had picked ourselves.”

— H. & C. Whitfield · London · returning guest

Enquire

Every enquiry is answered personally.

There is no instant booking. There is no algorithm matching you to a villa. There is a small team in Florence who answer enquiries in person, usually within a working day, and who will tell you the truth about which house is right for the trip you are describing — including, on occasion, that none of ours is.
