Tuscany Italy A Wondrous Place

Every time I write about Tuscany Italy, my heart and my entire body for that matter experiences an intense sense of quietness.  I know precisely that this feeling comes from the relaxed atmosphere this part of Italy near Florence gives off.  I’ve found an ideal balance of enjoying the entrancing town of Florence and its cultural activities at the same time I refurbish energy by either doing a farm vacation or staying in a luxury villa in the countryside of Tuscany. 

Wallow in luxury in Tuscany Italy

The words ‘luxury’ and ‘farm’ might shock you away, firstly because everybody associates luxury with expensive and farm with very little comfort.  Let me tell you of some fantastic places where I’ve been and you will see how this is far more gratifying than staying at a hotel in the city centre. 

The Fattoria il Lago farmhouse is found about 40 kilometres north-east of Florence, just outside the tiny town of Dicomano, concealed away in the olive tree covered Tuscan hillsides.  The extensive property homes three areas which are referred to as villages, each having studio accommodations and an entirely different landscape to like.  The main lodging building is called La Villa and has an enjoyable view of the Dicomano Valley.  Simply a short walk away you find Lago hamlet with its corresponding pool accompanied by a gorgeous garden.  The third area is the most old fashioned sleeping quarters called Macerato, inserted among all the hues of green possible.  This type of holiday rental is as comfy and reposeful as the posh villas, only that you are sharing a common ground with other holiday makers.  When you get your Tuscany vehicle rental, you must ask for a good map and perhaps even ask them if they can give more explicit directions towards Dicomano being as the farm is found off other country roads.  Usually any vacation home in Tuscany offers the choice of giving full directions when booking and also being picked up at nearby train or bus stations.  You just have to make them aware previously. 

The 11th c.  Medieval monastery of San Lorenzo a Linari in Sovicille, south of Siena is one of those vacation rental places in Tuscany where you may have it all and still have your own breathing space, having your freedom from stress.  This superb lodging is individual studios tempting 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 desire to lose out on the lovely beaches, there are expeditions to the Mediterranean shore, too. 

Staying in Tuscany in the Chiantii area in the luxurious 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.
