Villas in Tuscany
 
Does anyone know of any good websites for renting villas in the Tuscany region?

We used Tuscanynow.com which did a very good job. However, there are tons. Just search on "villa italy" and you will have more than you can read. Wonderful way to go. If you are looking for this year, you will find most are booked.

I have had positive experience with each of the following: <BR> <BR>http://www.regencyintapts.com (1998, Ambra) <BR> <BR>http://www.domani-usa.com (1999, Orvinio - - which is in Rieti, not Tuscany) <BR> <BR>http://www.rentvillas.com (Sep 2001, upcoming, in Veneto on Lake Garda - - again, NOT in Tuscany). <BR> <BR>Best wishes, <BR> <BR>Rex <BR>

Try www.homeabroad.com. It's the site for a company called Vacanze in Italia, based in Massachusetts. They have a catalog of dozens of properties in Tuscany. We stayed outside of CAstellina in Chianti in a beautiful location overlooking the Chianti Valley. They are very helpful.

Untours is a terrific company that has Tuscan and other Italian region villas, as well as chalets in Switzerland, castles in Germany, and so forth. They can arrange your whole trip, if you like, and are very reasonable. Best of all, their profits go toward building businesses in developing countries. I haven't yet been to Tuscany with them, but they are a wonderful company to deal with. (www.untours.com) Have a great trip!

A great source for information is www.cohenkenney.com/default.htm. This site lists lots of agencies and, best of all, has reviews from people who have stayed in the villas. Plus there is a message board and lots of information on Tuscany.

about 30 minutes from florence and 45 minutes from sienna is a great villa Castello di Bibbione. The grounds are beautiful, there is a pool it is decorated completely in antiques. There are several buildings on the grounds of different sizes but you will feel totally isolated.

Go and see www.toscovagando.it/ Very good quality houses all over Tuscany.
