Luxury villas in Tuscany,
the whole list.

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 Smaranda 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 €20,000 and €60,000, with a floor of about €10,000 in the shoulder season and a ceiling that follows the largest historic estates well into six figures, above €100,000, for peak summer. Most houses sleep eight to sixteen in private bedrooms and the largest borghi up to twenty-four. Most have a private pool, though a few of the smaller suites share the estate’s instead, and what comes with the rate varies by house, set out in full on each villa page: typically housekeeping and linen, often a gardener and pool care, and at some a resident chef. The sommelier, the boat, the vintage car 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.

Tuscany is not one place; it is several quite different ones, each with its own months, its own light and its own kind of week. We publish a hub for every region we work in — and for the private estates we represent in full — with the villas we hold there and the journal pieces we have written about that ground.

What does a luxury villa in your collection cost to rent?

Weekly rates start at around €10,000 in the off-season and rise well 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, 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?

What's included varies by villa and is set out on each villa page and your confirmation. Most include housekeeping, fresh linen and towels, a welcome provision on arrival, a property manager on call and Wi-Fi, with a gardener and pool care at many. Chef, sommelier, in-villa wellness, airport transfers and tours are arranged separately 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?

Most villas sleep eight to sixteen in private bedrooms, and the largest borghi up to twenty-four. For groups beyond a single house, 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 forty 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 Smaranda 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 written into the rental contract you sign, so they vary from villa to villa; as a rule, charges increase the closer you are to arrival. We confirm the exact terms before you book, and 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.

Tell us your dates, the size of your party and the kind of trip you are imagining, and Smaranda will reply with availability, full rates and a considered recommendation, usually within a working day. We would rather lose the enquiry than place the wrong family.
