Every time I write about Tuscany Italy, my heart and my whole body in fact experiences an intense feeling of calmness. I know precisely this feeling comes from the relaxed atmosphere this part of Italy near Florence gives off. 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 holiday or staying in a luxury villa in the countryside of Tuscany.
Wallow in bliss in Tuscany Italy
The words ‘luxury’ and ‘farm’ might frighten you away, firstly because everybody associates luxury with costly and farm with small comfort. Let me tell you of some fantastic places where I have been and you will see how this is much more enjoyable than staying at a hotel in the town centre.
The Fattoria il Lago farmhouse is located about 40 kilometres north-east of Florence, just outside the tiny city of Dicomano, hidden away in the olive tree covered Tuscan hillsides. The extensive property homes 3 areas which are called 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. Merely a short walk away you find Lago town with its corresponding pool accompanied by a pretty garden. The third area is the most old fashioned sleeping quarters called Macerato, embedded among all the colours of green possible. This sort of holiday rental is as comfy and reposeful as the luxury villas, only that you are sharing a common ground with other visitors. When you get your Tuscany vehicle rental, you need to ask for a good map and maybe even ask them if they can give more explicit directions towards Dicomano being as the farmhouse is located off other country roads. Sometimes any vacation home in Tuscany offers the option of giving full directions when booking and also being picked up at nearby train or bus stations. You have to make sure they knows beforehand.
The 11th c. Medieval monastery 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 magnificent lodging is individual lofts tantalizing you with Tuscany tours like viewing the hillside and mountains seated in a four-wheel drive vehicle, horse-back riding or an aerial view from a hot-air balloon. And if you do not want to lose out on the lovely 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 numerous has been respected in the restoration process, thus 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.
