A great way to visit Florence and Tuscany is to rent a villa in the country with your family or friends - it gives you the perfect base for visiting the city. Spend some days in Florence and discover Florentine history and art.

Rent a car to visit our beautiful countryside trying all the genuine farm products of our land and at night go back to your apartment in about 45 minutes.

The villa will give you the sensation of staying at home in your own property with all the services you need, cook, cleaners and then any extras, like a personal chef who comes to the villa to prepare personalized meals. Or if you want to explore the surroundings for art, handicrafts, wine and olive oil itineraries with an expert, you can have a professional guide…

Time frames: for weekly rentals, check-in at apartments and rental properties normally starts in the afternoon on a Saturday with departure from the property on the following Saturday morning by 10 a.m. This gives the owners time to clean up and get things in order for the following guests. It is usual to provide cash security deposit on your arrival. This will be returned after a final checkout, less deductions for broken items, unexpected cleaning, or the phone bill.

Rates: this will obviously vary depending on the rental property and the number of people, but in a group it can work out much lower than the cost of a hotel. Other costs to consider are your plane fare, of course, and maybe a car rental...and more...
