Villas in Tuscany

Tuscany can mean two very different holidays: a villa among hills, vineyards and historic towns, or a summer home close to the coast. The strength of the region is that both experiences can still feel unmistakably Tuscan.

Villa with a pool among the hills of Tuscany — Rural Tuscany is defined by the house, its space and the landscape around it.

The Tuscan countryside

The classic image is a stone house surrounded by open landscape, cypresses and long views. This is the Tuscany for travellers who want privacy, meals outside, quiet mornings and the possibility of driving to small towns rather than living inside a resort.

A countryside villa is rarely about walking to the beach. It is about the house, the land around it and the freedom to explore the region at your own pace.

Versilia and Forte dei Marmi

The coast around Versilia offers the opposite experience. Forte dei Marmi is more structured and resort-oriented, with restaurants, shopping, beach clubs and a flat landscape that makes local movement easier than in many hill towns.

For families who want the convenience of a seaside town but still prefer a private house, this part of Tuscany can make a great deal of sense.

Southern Tuscany and the coast

Further south, areas around Monte Argentario and the Maremma combine a more rugged coastline with larger landscapes and high levels of privacy. This is a good direction for travellers who want sea views and seclusion without giving up access to Tuscany’s historic interior.

Seafront villa on the Tuscan coast — Coastal Tuscany reveals another side of the region: beaches and private homes by the sea.
