What this is

Luxury, defined
by the editor.

A luxury villa to rent in Tuscany should be a private estate, in a sub-region you can actually point to on a map, that an owner has spent a decade getting right. Everything else is marketing.

The collection on this page is the working list of every property we currently represent across Tuscany’s eight sub-regions. Each house is here for a specific editorial reason that one of the founders has written down, the reason appears at the top of every villa page under The distinction. We accept perhaps one villa for every twenty we visit, and we prefer to keep the collection small for the same reason a private library does: knowing each spine matters.

Most weekly rates land between €25,000 and €70,000, with a floor of about €20,000 in the shoulder season and a ceiling that follows the largest historic estates into the six figures for peak summer. Houses sleep eight to twenty-two in private bedrooms, the pool is on every property as a baseline and a staff complement, housekeeping, gardener, property manager, comes with the rate. The chef, the sommelier, the boat, the vintage car: those we arrange separately and price honestly.

You can scroll this page end to end, or, if you already know the region you want, jump to a sub-region hub where we publish the villas we hold there alongside the journal pieces we have written about that part of Tuscany. Every villa page lists rates, the full season grid, the criteria for inclusion, and a long-form description of how the house actually lives.

By category

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 between us and our returning guests.

01
Historic Estate
Working farms and noble residences turned country houses. Scale, provenance, an archive worth reading.
02
Restored Borgo
A small fortified hamlet brought back as one residence. Multiple buildings, an inner piazza, room for several generations.
03
Coastal Retreat
On the sea, or within fifteen minutes of it. Boats at the dock, lunch on the terrace, the door open all summer.
04
Contemporary Masterwork
Modernist restorations and new builds by serious studios. Tuscany, made now, by people who knew what they were doing.
05
Countryside Classic
The platonic Tuscan villa, in the correct county. Stone, terracotta, a long table under the pergola. Done very well.
06
Working Farm
Agriturismo proper, with the founders' families still farming the land. Choose this when you want children outside all day.

Frequently asked

Things travellers
often want to know.

The questions we hear before booking. If yours is not here, please write to us, the answer goes on this page once we have seen the question twice.

What does a luxury villa in your collection cost to rent?
Weekly rates start at around €20,000 in the off-season and rise into the six figures for the largest historic estates in peak summer. Most houses fall between €25,000 and €70,000 per week. Each villa page lists its full season grid, or a note that the property is priced on enquiry.
When does the Tuscan villa rental season run?
Our houses are open from late March through to early November. The shoulder seasons. May and September into October, are the best months: warm enough for the pool, harvest in progress, prices well below July and August. Christmas and New Year are available at selected villas on request.
What's typically included in a weekly rental?
Every house 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 a starting log of essentials. Chef, sommelier, in-villa wellness, airport transfers and tours are arranged by us at additional cost.
Can you arrange a private chef?
Yes, at every villa in the collection. 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. Tell us what kind of meals you want and we will propose by name.
How do you handle large groups and family reunions?
Our largest villas sleep up to twenty-two in private bedrooms. For groups larger than that, we book a primary villa for the social space and place additional guests in a paired property within walking or short driving distance. The same staff cover both.
Are children and pets welcome?
Children are welcome at every villa, and most have travel cots, high chairs and pool fencing available on request. Pets are welcomed on a per-house basis, usually small dogs, sometimes more. Tell us at enquiry and we will tell you which villas the owner can accommodate.
How does booking with you compare to a listing marketplace?
Marketplaces list thousands of properties they do not know. We represent fewer than thirty houses, all of which the founders or a colleague have stayed in or visited. The conversation, the contract and the service on the ground are all direct. The cost is the same as booking elsewhere; the difference is that we will tell you when one of our houses is wrong for you.
What is the booking process?
Every enquiry is answered personally, usually within a working day, by one of the founders or a colleague who has been to the house. We respond with availability, full rates and a considered recommendation. Once the right villa is chosen we issue a contract directly from the owner; deposit and balance are paid by bank transfer.
What is your cancellation policy?
Cancellation terms are set by each villa's owner and are written into the rental contract you sign. Most properties follow a 30% deposit at booking, balance 60 days before arrival, full forfeit for cancellation inside 60 days. We recommend travel insurance.
Can you organise weddings and private events?
Several of our historic estates host private events for the renting party, small intimate dinners up to weddings of 60 to 120 guests, depending on the property's licence. Tell us your numbers and date at enquiry and we will tell you which villas are permitted and what additional planning is required.
Do you only work with travel advisors, or directly with guests?
Both. Most of our enquiries come direct from travellers. We also work with a small number of independent advisors with a specialism in Italy, if you are one and would like a direct line, please write to us.
