Every time I write about Tuscany Italy, my heart and my whole body for that matter experiences an intense feeling of calmness. I know exactly that this feeling comes from the relaxed atmosphere this part of Italy near Florence releases. I have found an ideal 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 scare you away, firstly because everybody associates luxury with costly and farm with extremely tiny comfort. Let me tell you of some amazing places where I have been and you'll see how this is way more pleasing than staying at a hotel in the town centre.

The Fattoria il Lago cottage is located about forty kilometres north-east of Florence, just outside the little city of Dicomano, hidden away in the olive tree covered Tuscan hillsides. The extensive property homes 3 areas which are referred to as towns, each having loft accommodations and a completely different landscape to admire. The main lodging building is called La Villa and has a pleasurable view of the Dicomano Valley. Just a short walk away you find Lago hamlet with its corresponding pool accompanied by a beautiful garden. The 3rd area is the most quaint sleeping quarters called Macerato, embedded among all the colors of green possible. This kind of vacation rental is as comfy and reposeful as the posh villas, only that you are sharing a standard ground with other travellers. When you get your Tuscany vehicle rental, you need to ask for a good map and perhaps even ask them if they can give more explicit directions towards Dicomano being as the farmhouse is located off other country roads. Usually any holiday home in Tuscany offers the option of giving full directions when booking and also being picked up at nearby train or bus stations. You simply have to allow them know beforehand.

The 11th c. medieval monastery of San Lorenzo a Linari in Sovicille, south of Siena is an example of those vacation rental places in Tuscany where you can have it all and still have your own breathing room, having your liberty from stress. This magnificent lodging is individual apartments tempting you with Tuscany tours like viewing the hillside and mountains seated in a four-wheel drive automobile, horse-back riding or an aerial view from a hot-air balloon. And if you don't wish to lose out on the wonderful beaches, there are excursions to the Mediterranean seashore, too.

Staying in Tuscany in the Chiantii area in the luxurious villa estate called Villa de Dievole near the old town of Vagliali. As all villas used to belong to the Italian noble class, the exclusiveness and privacy is exquisite. The decoration in many has been respected in the restoration process, you are living among many centuries of history. This 16th century villa has rooms and apartments with a personal guesthouse, too.

Without overtaxing one's strength, your Tuscany Italy vacation tours can be choked full of emotions and peacefulness.
