Has anyone recently rented a villa in the Tuscany region? I couldn’t find anything current when I searched.
If so, recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Wanted to start planning for a family vacation which will include children, parents and in-laws.
Thank you in advance!
A decade ago we stayed at this place. We stayed in one of the apartments while friends of ours stayed in the house.
Welcome to the board, Dennis!
Here’s a good website that matches travelers with local farms and villas.
Staying in Casanuova di Ama in October. Looks very interesting and prime location.
How about a stay in Fontodi’s vineyards in Panzano, near Greve, about half-way between Florence and Siena?
We’ve stayed as the guests of a family who rented both villas and some of the apartments each summer. It is fantastic. And you can always go to Dario’s in Panzano or to Greve to eat or buy provisions.
I have not stayed here but this place looks terrific. It’s right outside of Montalcino and might fit the bill.
We stayed here at Casale la Caprara in May 2022 with a group of 12. It was amazing. Luxury Villa Rentals Worldwide
Are transport logistics a factor? i.e. are you planning on a minibus to from the airport, but thereafter wanting to be in walking distance of restaurants etc. and using public transport when needed…or are you hiring a multi seater minibus / separate cars for the whole trip?
There will be a huge range available. Two sites I use are:
agriturismo.it aggregates farmstay locations across Italy and there will be a good number that will cater for larger numbers
Special places to stay / Alisdair Sawday, which focuses on the quirky and characterful as something of an antidote to hotel * ratings that drive a more identikit experience.
In addition, Tuscany is a big region. What locations are drawing you to the region? e.g. do you want to have the option of an easy day trip into Firenze, get some winetasting in, enjoy driving through the picturesque countryside, visit some hilltop villages or something else?

I highly recommend it. PM me with any questions.
