Every time I write about Tuscany Italy, my heart and my whole body actually experiences an intense feeling of quietness.  I know exactly that this feeling comes from the relaxed atmosphere this part of Italy near Florence gives off.  I’ve 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 holiday or staying in a luxurious villa in the countryside of Tuscany. 

Wallow in luxuriousness in Tuscany Italy

The words ‘luxury’ and ‘farm’ might frighten you away, firstly because everybody associates luxury with expensive and farm with little comfort.  Let me tell you of some fantastic places where i have been and you will see how this is way more pleasing than staying at a hotel in the town centre. 

The Fattoria il Lago farmhouse is found about 40 kilometres north-east of Florence, just outside the small town of Dicomano, hidden away in the olive tree covered Tuscan hillsides.  The extensive property homes three areas which are called hamlets, each having studio accommodations and an entirely different landscape to like.  The main lodging building is known as La Villa and has a nice view of the Dicomano Valley.  Just a short walk away you find Lago hamlet with its corresponding pool accompanied by a stunning garden.  The 3rd area is the most quaint sleeping quarters called Macerato, embedded among all the colours of green possible .  This sort of holiday rental is as comfy and reposeful as the luxury villas, only that you are sharing a common ground with other tourists.  When you get your Tuscany car rental, you need to ask for a good map and perhaps even ask them if they can give more explicit directions towards Dicomano being as the cottage is located off other country roads.  Generally any vacation home in Tuscany offers the option of giving full directions when booking and also being picked up at nearby train or bus stations.  You just have to let them know beforehand. 

The 11th c.  Medieval monastery of San Lorenzo a Linari in Sovicille, south of Siena is one of those vacation rental places in Tuscany where you may have it all and still have your own breathing room, having your freedom from stress.  This wonderful lodging is individual terraces tempting 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 don’t want to miss the lovely beaches, there are expeditions to the Mediterranean shore, too. 

Staying in Tuscany in the Chiantii area in the posh villa estate called Villa de Dievole close to the old town of Vagliali.  As all villas used to belong to the Italian noble class, the exclusiveness and privacy is incomparable.  The decoration in many has been respected in the restoration process, therefore you are living among many centuries of history.  This 16th century villa has rooms and apartments with a private guesthouse, too. 

Without overtaxing one’s strength, your Tuscany Italy vacation tours can be choked full of emotions and peacefulness.
