Luxury villa rentals in Tuscany.

Weekly rates in our collection start at around €10,000 in the shoulder season and rise into six figures — above €100,000 — for the largest historic estates in peak summer. Most houses fall between €20,000 and €60,000 per week. Each villa page lists its full season grid.

Late April through May and September into mid-October are the editorially recommended windows: warm enough for the pool, harvest or first colour in progress, and significantly quieter and cheaper than July and August. July and August are the swimming-pool months and the highest-priced. The coastal villas open from June and the inland ones from late March.

Marketplaces list thousands of properties they do not know. We represent fewer than forty houses, each of which the founders or a colleague has stayed in or visited. The conversation, the contract and the service on the ground are all direct. The cost to the guest is the same as booking elsewhere; the difference is that we will tell you when one of our houses is wrong for you.

Every villa in the collection includes housekeeping, fresh linen and towels, a welcome provision on arrival, a property manager on call, and Wi-Fi throughout. Most include a gardener, a pool technician and basic essentials. Chef, sommelier, in-villa wellness, airport transfers and tours are arranged separately and priced honestly.

Most villas sleep eight to sixteen in private bedrooms; the largest borghi take up to twenty-four, and for groups beyond a single house we combine neighbouring villas. Children are welcome at every villa and most stock travel cots and pool fencing on request. Several historic estates host weddings of sixty to one hundred and twenty guests subject to their individual licence.

Chianti Classico is the wine country between Florence and Siena and the most common first choice. Val d'Orcia is the UNESCO landscape south of Siena, grander and quieter. Maremma is the wild south with cowboy country and the sea. The Argentario peninsula is for summer sailors. Lucca and the Garfagnana are the cooler northwest. Each sub-region has its own hub page on the site with the villas, the towns, and field notes on when to come.

Yes, at every villa. We work with a small roster of resident and travelling chefs covering Tuscan classics, refined contemporary tasting menus and several specialists in wine pairings from the region. Beyond food, we arrange sommeliers, airport transfers, day boats on the coast, vintage car hires, in-villa massage and yoga, vineyard visits, and cooking classes.

Every enquiry is answered personally by Smaranda or a colleague who knows the house in question, usually within a working day. We respond with availability, full rates, and a considered recommendation. Once the right villa is chosen, the contract is issued directly from the owner; a deposit confirms the booking and the balance falls due before arrival, with the exact terms set out in that contract.
