Our resorts and villas in Tuscany
Our idyllic villas in Tuscany are scattered around the countryside between tiny villages, where many are reached by driving off the beaten track along unsurfaced country roads where breathtaking views make a few bumps worthwhile. Too numerous to mention in detail, most of these villages have at least one café, bar and mini-market, and for a greater selection, you can visit one of the nearby towns.
