Friday, February 8, 2008

A villa rental is one of the most excellent ways to discover the true joy and comfort offered in Tuscany. A feeling of resurgence, art, history, architecture and delightful sights are just a few things captured by Tuscany and its magnificent villas. Arezzo, Florence, Lucca, and Siena--these are some of the much-loved tourist destinations in Tuscany that let you feel you are going back in time.

Tuscany villas have much to offer in terms of size, location, services, scenic views and price. Some villas are managed by the government, while others are private properties. Over the years, historical edifices have been converted into unique opulent villas. And a few villas and farmhouses have been transformed into beautiful holiday apartments. Visitors who wish to experience the Tuscan ambiance by taking pleasure in the serene calm of the countryside should rent a villa in a small village. Here they can find absolute tranquility surrounded by private gardens and terrace amenities.

In Florence, some of the most exceptional villas are the Villa Sorriso and Villa Petrea. The rent in these villas (with 18 beds) during weekends can be as high as $11,079. The most famous villas in Sienna include Villa Del Cielo, Villa Rosanna, Villa Belforte and Villa Belvedere, where the cost of per room (with 12 beds) can be up to $2,700 during the busiest periods.

Over the years, one of the most cherished destinations in Tuscany is the Renaissance Medicean villa, built in the 15th century. It is believed that the frescoes, with which this villa is decorated, are painted by the same hands as the ones in Palazzo Vecchio – one reason why this villa is most loved by the tourists.
