Each time I write about Tuscany Italy, my heart and my full body for that matter experiences an intense feeling of quietness. I know precisely this feeling comes from the relaxed atmosphere that this part of Italy near Florence gives off. I have found a perfect balance of enjoying the fascinating city of Florence and its cultural activities at the same time I refurbish energy by either doing a farm vacation or staying in a luxury villa in the countryside of Tuscany.
Wallow in luxuriousness in Tuscany Italy
The words ‘luxury’ and ‘farm’ might frighten you away, firstly because everyone associates luxury with pricey and farm with tiny comfort. Let me tell you of some wonderful places where I have been and you will see how this is much more enjoyable than staying at a hotel in the city centre.
The Fattoria il Lago farmhouse is found about forty kilometres north-east of Florence, just outside the small town of Dicomano, hidden away in the olive tree covered Tuscan hillsides. The intensive property homes 3 areas which are called towns, each having apartment accommodations and a completely different landscape to like. The main lodging building is known as La Villa and has a pleasurable view of the Dicomano Valley. Merely a short walk away you find Lago town with its corresponding pool accompanied by a pretty garden. The 3rd area is the most old fashioned sleeping quarters called Macerato, embedded among all the colours of green possible. This type of holiday rental is as cosy and reposeful as the posh villas, only that you are sharing a common ground with other visitors. When you get your Tuscany vehicle rental, you should ask for a good map and perhaps even ask them if they can give more explicit directions towards Dicomano being as the cottage is found off other country roads. Customarily any holiday home in Tuscany offers the choice 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 priory of San Lorenzo a Linari in Sovicille, south of Siena is an example of those holiday rental places in Tuscany where you can have it all and still have your own breathing room, having your freedom from stress. This wonderful lodging is individual studios captivating you with Tuscany tours such as viewing the hillside and mountains seated in a four-wheel drive car, horse-back riding or an aerial view from a hot-air balloon. And if you do not want to miss out on the beautiful beaches, there are excursions 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, thus you are living among many centuries of history. This 16th century villa has rooms and suites with a private guesthouse, too.
Without overtaxing one’s strength, your Tuscany Italy vacation tours can be choked full of emotions and peacefulness.
